MasterCraft has determined that for the tower uti-
lized on the current models, the total weight of all ac-
cessories mounted on the tower should never exceed
85 pounds, regardless of whether the accessories are
MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have come
from an aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this restriction
can result in tower failure, which could result in serious
injury or death to the boat operator and/or passengers.
