Step 2: Open the engine compartment and visually check as much of the fuel system from the tank to the engine
as you can see.
Step 3: This inspection requires the operation of the engine with the engine compartment open
and should be performed by your MasterCraft dealer. Your dealer will start the engine with the engine
compartment open and look for signs of leakage. Because the fuel system is under pressure, any leaks should be
quickly noticeable. If any leaks are observed the engine must be immediately shut down. The leak must be repaired
before the engine is restarted. See your MasterCraft dealer for parts and service. Because the lines on
late model MasterCraft boats are pressurized, they can be disconnected and/or removed ONLY by
using specialized tools that are not available to the public.
This is important! Fuel leakage can lead to a build-up of potentially explosive fumes within the engine
compartment. DO NOT IGNORE NOR OVERLOOK THIS INSPECTION AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY!
Inspect the exhaust system for leaks
This inspection requirees the operation of the engine
with the engine compartment open, thereby creating a
potentially dangerous situation. Therefore, this inspection
should be performed by your authorized MasterCraft
dealer. Whenever this inspection is performed, ut-
most care must be exercised to avoid personal
injury or death. Your MasterCraft dealer will perform
the following steps in conducting the inspection:
Step 1: Ensure that the engine is OFF and that the
engine safety starting switch is disconnected. Be cer-
tain that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral.
The engine must be cool.
Step 2: Open the engine compartment and visually check the exhaust system from the engine to the transom for
any obvious damage to exhaust lines or the muffler.
Step 3: This inspection requires the operation of the engine with the engine compartment open and should be
performed by your MasterCraft dealer. Your dealer will start the engine with the engine compartment open.
Step 4: The dealer will carefully inspect the hose connections between the exhaust manifolds and the mufflers
for leakage.
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must
be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing or body parts can
get caught in moving parts, causing serious injury or death.
Keep away from moving parts!
