NOTE: Due to the complex nature of the engine and drive train re-
activation process, MasterCraft recommends having an authorized
MasterCraft or Ilmor dealer perform this function.
Step 4
Ensure that all drain plugs throughout the boat and drive train have
been reinstalled to avoid unwanted water intrusion.
Step 5
If applicable, reconnect and verify that all hoses to the heater, the
head, the fresh water wash down, and the wet bar are in proper
working condition with no leaks.
Step 6
Check the engine compartment and bilge for signs of nesting
animals. Clean as necessary.
Step 7
Check the entire engine system for fluid, oil and coolant levels. Add
as necessary.
Step 8
Check the entire engine for cracks or leaks caused by freeze damage.
Step 9
Check all hose clamps for tightness. Install the bilge drain plug and
the rear drain plug (if applicable).
Step 10
Grease the propeller spline and install the propeller.
Step 11
Perform daily maintenance as noted previously in this Owner’s Man-
ual. If it was not done prior to storage, perform annual maintenance
as well.
Step 12
If the boat is equipped with the optional fresh water cooling system
and was drained for storage, fill the system with fresh coolant solu-
tion per instructions in the Ilmor Engine Owner’s Manual.
Step 13
For all models, with the boat in the water, cycle the key ON and then
OFF two (2) or three (3) times, allowing ten (10) seconds between
key cycles, before cranking the engine. This allows the fuel pump
to prime the fuel lines. Start the engine. In the event the engine
does not respond, allow a two-minute cool-down period for every
thirty (30) seconds of cranking. When the engine fires, keep a close
watch over the gauge readings and check for leakage and abnormal
noises. Keep speeds low for the first fifteen (15) minutes to allow
the engine to reach normal operating temperatures.
PROPELLER MAINTENANCE
Propeller damage is caused by striking solid objects. If the propeller
is not rotating at the time it strikes a solid object, the damage is
