2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
After three (3)-to-five (5) minutes of operation, shut down the
engine and ensure that the engine safety starting switch is
disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in
neutral. Again, inspect the fuel system as well as possible. Inspect
the fuel pump gasket, fastener gaskets, regulator seal and sender
gasket for leaks. 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
that are not available to the public.
Reinspect after the fuel tank has been filled full for the first time of
the season.
Charge dead batteries with a battery charger before attempting
to start the engine. (Some MasterCraft models oer an optional
battery charger; but never jump-start the battery.) Jump-starting
from another boat or battery is dangerous! Charging a dead
battery from a third party engine will put undue stress on the
alternator, which may cause it to fail.
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous
hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, flames
and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions
when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even
an explosion of the battery, which could cause death or injury.
Crossing cables or jumper cables may result in damage to the
electrical components due to incorrect battery connections.
Such damages may not be covered by your warranty.
Repeat Check For Fuel and/or
Exhaust Leaks
This function should be performed after about three (3)-to-five
(5) minutes of running the engine to determine whether any
leaks are apparent.
