MasterCraft ProStar 190 - Performance Controls; Battery Charger; Cruise Control Gauge

This section discusses the performance controls. On some models,
information is provided via traditional gauges and switches. On many
models, however, this information (as well as some convenience and
support data described elsewhere in this owner’s manual) is given
through a video display gauge. Several dierent video display gauges
are mounted in the boats, depending on the model. Descriptions of
the functionality of those gauges follows in the next section. Please
note that some renement of these gauges was in progress at press
time. Therefore, the gauge in your boat may have some minor vari-
ances to what is described in this manual. MasterCraft strongly en-
courages you to review ALL instrumentation with your authorized
MasterCraft dealer prior to operating the boat for the rst time, and
at any time during ownership of the boat if you are uncertain as to
proper and applicable functionality.

 Ifthebatterychargereverappearstobemalfunctioning,seeyourautho-
rizedMasterCraftdealerforassistance.
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hy-
drogen 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 explo-
sion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.
Cruise Control Gauge
