2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 270
Operation
Lights: There are several light options that can be mounted to the
tower: forward facing can lights, dome lighting and speaker lights.
Forward facing lights and speaker lighting can be turned ON and
OFF via the lighting tab in the dual screen dash. Speaker lights can
be dimmed or brightened using the “+” and “-” buttons on the dual
screen dash. Dome light operation can be found in the Visual Assis-
tance section of this Owner’s Manual.
Troubleshooting
- If the lights do not operate when turned ON,
check the main circuit breaker panel to determine if a circuit may
have tripped. Although the lights are LED lights, it is possible that
they have burned out. Take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft
dealer to have the ring lights replaced when necessary.
Speakers: Tower speakers operate through the audio system. See
the Dual Screen Dash information for your model in this Owner’s
Manual for instructions on how the volume is controlled.
Board Racks: When board racks are ordered, there are three avail-
able options:
• Wakeboard storage on upper and lower arms
• Surf storage on upper and lower arms
• Wakeboard upper, and wake surf lower
Note that, regardless of the type of board or ski, it should be se-
curely clamped in the board racks so that they do not come loose or
disengage from the rack during boat operation. DO NOT place the
wrong type of board within spokes (i.e., slalom skis in a board rack)
as an improper fit will leave a board too loose in the racks. Result-
ing loss or damage to the board, or injury to individuals, is not the
responsibility of the manufacturer.
Vertical Surf Racks: General Information
• Vertical Surf Racks on the ZFT7 tower are designed for Surf
Boards, and are not intended to hold wakeboards. The added
weight and sharper edge of the wake boards can damage the
foam padding in the racks and potentially the board.
• Due to the vertical orientation of the boards, the center of gravity
of the board needs to be centered in the fingers to keep the
board from rotating when hitting waves. If you have issues with
the boards rotating underway, this is likely the contributing factor.
Pay attention to this when installing the boards, especially longer
boards, to avoid issues while underway.
• In some cases, the fingers are nearly the widest point of the boat.
They do not stick out beyond the rub rail, but take caution when
pulling into a slip, especially in rough, wavy conditions, as rocking
can make the fingers contact tall vertical dock supports due the
height of the fingers above the water.
• Over the tower mooring covers will not fit without removing the
surf racks. Removing surf racks requires specialized tools and
should be done by an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
