IN-WATER ACTIVITIES SAFETY
Individuals in the water are obligated to be as aware of the
fundamental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water
sports, you should seek certified training before starting. You
may find it especially helpful to join a local water-sports club,
if available, and the U.S.W.S.A. (United States Water Skiing
Association).
Remember that the majority of in-water injuries are the result of
impacts with other objects, so always look where you are going,
and be aware of what is going on around you.
PROPELLER(S) MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Shut off the engine(s) when near persons in the water, prior
to using sun pads, the swim platform or the boarding ladder.
• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through
the handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line. Never wrap the
line around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing at night.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing directly in
front of other boats.
• Never follow another boat pulling a rider or tuber. The person
may fall and could make it necessary to take immediate evasive
measures. This is an unsafe from of operation that should be
avoided.
• When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total
aggregate weight of the accessories does not exceed 85 lbs.
(U.S.). Exceeding the limit may result in structural failure of the
tower. MasterCraft strongly encourages the use of MasterCraft
towers and accessories only as they have been tested and
determined to meet product requirements, including weight.
Towers should never have a total aggregate weight of accessories
exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.). Excessive weight can cause tower failure
and the collapse of a tower or the disconnection of the tower from
the deck, which could result in serious bodily injury or damage to
the boat that is not covered by warranty.
• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter
or exit the water when the engine is running (ON). (See the
Common Sense Approach section of this Owner’s Manual for
additional information regarding carbon monoxide peril.)
Maintain a distance of at least six (6) feet from the ski platform
when wake surfing or tubing. Any closer risks exposure to CO
fumes, which can be deadly. Never launch a surfboard from the
ski platform (or any part of the boat) or end a surfing session by
surfing onto the ski platform. Such activities can damage the boat,
which is not covered under warranty. Being on the ski platform at
