FUEL LEVELS
Starting the engine with fuel levels below the acceptable standard
will likely cause damage to the fuel pump. MasterCraft, working in
conjunction with the fuel pump’s manufacturer, has determined that
on initial (first-time) use, the boat should have a minimum of fifteen
(15) gallons of gas. This will prevent fuel starvation in instances of
extreme running angles or when fuel sloshes away from the fuel
pick-up.
Note that continuous wake surfing port or starboard with low fuel in
the tank will starve the pump of fuel and cause it to either seize or
overheat and blow fuses. The boat should never be used for wake
surfing at less than one-quarter (1/4) tank full of fuel.
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of
a tank full may aect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in
damage to the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
people and property in the area. Therefore, it is critical to attend to
any indication that there is fuel line damage or fuel leakage as soon
as possible.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under
certain conditions. Always stop the engine and never smoke or
allow open flames or sparks within fifty (50) feet of the fueling
area when fueling.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally,
wipe up all traces of it with dry rags immediately and dispose
properly on shore.
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is present or gasoline is
visually observed in the bilge area during inspection,
DO NOT START YOUR ENGINE! If the engine is already running,
press the START-STOP button to stop the engine. Remove the
ignition key from the ignition switch and call an authorized
MasterCraft dealer for service.
