2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
THE Z8 TOWER
Unlike the Z6, the Z8 is augmented with hydraulic fluid support.
The unique assembly of the tower leg decreases the amount
of eort needed to raise or lower the tower. When the operator
pushes the release on the header box, solenoids are electrically
powered, allowing it to rotate. The operator may then raise or lower
the tower while keeping their finger on
the release.
Note: MasterCraft discourages the addition of after-market
speakers to the Z8. After-market speakers may increase the
amount of force needed to lift the tower, impacting the amount
of gas assist needed for the Z8 to easily raise/lower. If you
choose to install after-market speakers, consult an authorized
dealer beforehand. It may be necessary for MasterCraft to
alter the gas assist and keep the raising/lowering effort within
reason. A trained professional should perform this service
for you.
To raise the Z8 tower:
• Identify the release button on the tower header box. Pressing
this button will activate the hydraulic fluid system in the tower
leg, freeing the tower and allowing it to rotate.
• Press and hold the release button.
• While pressing down on the release button, exert upward force
on the tower to bring it into standing position. Note: The tower
will lock in place if you lift your finger from the button.
• Once the tower is fully upright, let go of the button. The tower
will lock in place, no additional steps needed.
To lower the Z8 tower:
• Ensure the board racks have been swiveled safely inboard.
• Identify the release button on the tower header.
• Press and hold the release button.
• With one hand supporting the header and the other pressing the
button, begin to pull aft and downward on the tower. It will begin
to decline into the resting position.
• Fold the tower while keeping your finger on the release button.
When you are done, lift your finger from the switch.
