DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is 
found during the Safety Check. A problem could lead 
to an accident during the outing, resulting in death or 
serious injury. Any and all problems should receive at-
tention immediately. See your authorized MasterCraft 
service department for assistance. (Page 7-1)
Battery  electrolyte  uid  is  dangerous.  It  contains  sul-
furic acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and caustic. 
If  electrolyte  uid  is  spilled  or  placed  on  any  part  of 
the human body, immediately ush the area with large 
amounts of clean water and immediately seek medical 
attention. (Page 15-1)
When  charging,  batteries  generate  small amounts  of 
dangerous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. 
Keep  all  sparks,  ames  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 result in death or 
serious injury. (Page 15-2 and 15-4)
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The en-
gine 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! 
(Page 15-2, 15-3 and 15-4)
Adding additional ballast to your MasterCraft boat is not 
recommended, and can result in impaired visibility, di-
minished handling characteristics and instability when 
operating your boat, and may result in potential struc-
tural and/or engine damage to your boat, which dam-
age will not be covered by your warranty. (Page 10-1)
Use of improper parts may cause component or engine 
failure. Such failure may result in death or serious in-
jury! (Page 12-1)
Towers on boats are intended for use for water skis, wake-
boards or recreational towables only. Use of the tower to 
tow other boats, kites or for any other purpose may re-
sult in serious injury or death, and may damage the boat, 
which will not be covered by warranty. (Page 1-3)
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the 
posted  limits  can cause  operational  instability  and/or 
the boat  to sink. This may result  in serious  injury or 
death, as well as signicant damage to the boat, which 
will not be covered by warranty. (Page 2-1)
Be sure all fasteners used are approved and rated for 
marine use. Most fasteners used on MasterCraft boats 
are stainless steel or specially coated to resist corro-
sion. (Page 12-1)
All replaced fuel components must meet United States 
Coast  Guard  (“USCG”)  and  American  Boat  &  Yacht 
Council,  Inc.  (“ABYC”)  standards,  and  must  be  Un-
derwriter’s Laboratory (“UL”)-approved. Inferior quality 
components  pose a serious safety threat to you and 
others, and the use of inferior components may result 
in serious injury or death. Resulting damage may void 
the warranty. (Page 15-8)
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is 
low. If you do, the engine may become so hot that it, or 
surrounding components, could catch re. You or oth-
ers could be burned and the boat seriously damaged. 
Check your oil level and add an appropriate amount of 
approved motor oil before operating again or have your 
boat serviced by your local authorized MasterCraft ser-
