2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
Troubleshooting
At any time, if the steering is sluggish, dicult, or shows any signs
of not working smoothly and properly, the boat should immediately
be taken to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for attention.
Optional hydraulic steering components are not accessible to
consumers for repair or maintenance, all of which should be done
by an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Most standard steering
system repairs are only accessible by the dealer.
DOCKSTAR HANDLING SYSTEM
Models
Optional on all X Series, XT Series, NXT Series and XStar models.
Purpose
The DockStar Handling System controls the direction in which the
boat moves. The triple rudder system gives more control over the
boat than a traditional single rudder system alone.
The Dock-Star rudder allows a boat to reverse to either direction
dependent on the orientation of the steering wheel. A DockStar
equipped boat is also more agile and responsive at speed
in forward.
Location
The DockStar Handling
System is a triple rudder
system mounted to the
bottom of the hull.
Additional steering
components are
mounted under the helm
and under the engine in the engine compartment.
Operation
Steering a boat with the DockStar Handling System is very similar
to steering a car or truck, but the boat will generally respond
slower due to operation in the water, which is more dense than
air. A DockStar equipped boat will respond with more precision in
forward, at both low and high speeds, than a traditional inboard
single rudder system. In reverse, the DockStar system will allow
the boat to reverse in either direction similar to a car. As in a car,
turn the wheel to the left to back up to port, and turn the wheel to
the right to back to starboard.
Troubleshooting
At any time, if steering is sluggish, dicult, or shows any signs of
not working properly and smoothly, the boat should immediately
be taken to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for attention.
