aft. The next lever is the starboard engine shifter and per-
forms the same function. If both engines are running and 
the boat is moving, the shifters should be shifted together 
and in the same direction. Doing otherwise can damage 
the system.
The next middle lever is the port engine throttle, which 
allows the boat to feed fuel into the engine and operate in 
motion. Pushing forward on it will signal the system that 
fuel should be sent to the port engine. The engines can 
be run at different levels of throttle.
This system allows greater maneuverability in docking, 
as well as when the boat is in operation. However, it 
requires more practice and skill in order to avoid po-
tential damage to the boat.
Variations in Gauges and Switches
Please note that not every gauge or switch explained in 
this Manual found on every model. Some equipment is 
optional and not every option is available on all models 
of MasterCraft boats. 
Also,  MasterCraft  utilizes  a 
variety of gauge and switch 
styles. These differences are 
not in functionality. If a boat 
is equipped with a gauge or 
switch that is labeled as de-
scribed above, it will operate 
in  the  same fashion  as the 
description  even  if  its  ap-
pearance is different.
If  the  owner  and/or  operators  are  uncertain  about  a 
gauge’s or  switch’s  purpose,  do not  operate the  boat 
until consulting with an authorized MasterCraft dealer. 
Some gauges monitor information that is critical to safe 
and long-term usage of the boat. Some switches can af-
fect maneuverability, as well as operations that impact 
long-term use of the boat.
