2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
2. Open the engine compartment and visually check as much of the
fuel system from the tank to the engine as you can see. On some
models this is will be a limited area. If the odor of gasoline is strong
or if you see visual evidence of fuel outside the system, cease
all operations and take the boat immediately to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer’s service department to determine the
source of the leak. The leak must be repaired before the engine is
restarted. Because the lines on late model MasterCraft boats are
pressurized, they can be disconnected and/or removed ONLY by
using specialized tools.
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting in
fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and flames away from
the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system.
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must
be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing or body parts can get
caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep
away from moving parts!
Fuel leakage can lead to a build-up of potentially explosive fumes
within the engine compartment.
DO NOT IGNORE OR OVERLOOK THIS INSPECTION AND REPAIR
AS NECESSARY!
INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM
FOR LEAKS
This function should be performed prior to starting the engine; and
then again after about three (3)-to-five (5) minutes to determine
whether any leaks are apparent.
1. Ensure the engine is OFF, the engine safety starting switch is
disconnected and the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral.
