2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 282
CANVAS COVERS
Models
MasterCraft oers several dierent styles of canvas covers for
varying uses on all models. Bimini tops are designed to provide pro-
tection from the sun while operators and passengers are out on the
water. Mooring or towing covers protect MasterCraft boats from the
elements while being towed, moored by a dock, or in storage.
Operation
Most covers are intended for use when the boat is moored or
stored. These canvas covers will snap or ratchet into place. For
information regarding bimini covers see the bimini section immedi-
ately following.
Special Attention
MasterCraft strongly recommends that only authorized MasterCraft
appears taut, an individual could become entangled in the line
underwater, which could result in injury or death. It is also possible
that people could cause the anchor to lose anchorage, causing
the boat to move. If there is a current, the boat could become
inaccessible to people in the water.
Whenever the anchor line is deployed, individuals in the water
nearby should avoid the line. Disrupting the line could cause the
boat to move away from the chosen anchorage location. It is also
possible that individuals could become entangled in the anchor
line. If underwater, this could result in serious injury or even death.
Special Attention
MasterCraft suggests that operators monitor and verify the
rewinding process to ensure that the line retracted in a smooth and
even fashion. Anchors should never be pulled aboard and left on-
deck because this can lead to potentially dangerous situations.
Improperly stored anchors and/or anchor lines that have been
improperly rewound may create a hazardous situation. People on-
board can trip on improperly stored materials, which can result in
injury. Improperly stored materials can also move too freely during
boat operation and make contact with individuals, again causing
injury. Properly store all anchors and lines whether the boat is in
operation or not, any time the anchor and line are not in use. Never
operate the boat with the anchor line deployed.
Troubleshooting
If the anchor line has been improperly rewound, have an authorized
MasterCraft dealer assist in deploying and rewinding the line to its
appropriate berth.
dealers perform the installation of snap-on canvas such as cockpit
and tonneau covers. Improper installation of these covers can cause
“crazing,” unwanted spider web-like cracks in the gel coat. Such dam-
age is not covered under warranty.
Additional Special Attention
On-going care is required to keep canvas material in good condition
for the life of the boat. See Cleaning the Boat section of this Owner’s
Manual for more information.
Additional Special Attention
Note that towing with unapproved covers on the boat may result
in damage to the gel coat. MasterCraft recommends using only
approved towable mooring covers when towing. Other canvas cov-
ers are available only through authorized MasterCraft dealers for a
variety of uses.
