as instructed may cause improper ventilation of the boat engine and
bilge areas, and fuel vapors can accumulate in this area, causing a re
or explosion which may result in death or serious injury! (Page 5-3)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas
that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Expo-
sure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure
to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored
because the effects of exposure to carbon monoxide can build up and
be just as lethal as high concentrations. Carbon monoxide from exhaust
pipes of inboard or outboard engines may build up inside and outside
the boat in areas near exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed
operations. STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are lo-
cated at the stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any
watersports or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat,
including, without limitation, the swim platform and the rear sun deck,
when the engine is in operation. Under no circumstances should the
owner and/or operator allow persons to hold onto the swim platform
while the engine is operating and the boat is in motion. These activities
(sometimes known as “teak surng” or “platform dragging,” where the
participant holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through the
water, and/or “body surfs” immediately behind the boat) are extremely
dangerous, highly likely to result in death or serious bodily injury, and
are a misuse of this product. (Page 2-1, 6-6)
The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator whenever
the engine is running. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury! (Page 5-4)
Never override or modify the engine emergency safety shut-off switch
in any way. (Page 1-5)
Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check
for gasoline fumes, fuel and oil leaks or the presence of fuel or oil in
the bilge.
(Page 10-1)
Do not tow more than two (2) persons at one time on a tow tower.
The tow tower approved for use on your boat should be used only
for water skis, wakeboards or recreational towables, and not for para-
sailing, kite ying or towing other boats. Do not add any attachments
that are not approved for use on your MasterCraft boat. Do not climb
on, sit on, stand on, jump off of or dive off of the tower. Never allow
passengers to sit behind the tow rope attachment point. Never allow
loose tow rope ends to dangle. Always be certain that all bolts are in
place and tight before and during use. When the tower is up, watch for
low obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or power lines. (Page 1-5)
Information regarding the maximum number of people and/or addi-
tional weight to the boat is included in the Guide to Individual Mod-
els section of this Manual. It is the boat operator’s responsibility to
ensure that the boat is never overloaded. Too much additional weight
may cause the boat to overturn or sink, which can result in serious
bodily injury or death. (Page 11-1)
Boat operators should never attempt to duplicate operational skills of
professional drivers. When such maneuvers fail, it can result in serious
injury or death. (Page 11-2)
Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for at
least four (4) minutes before starting the engine may result in serious
injury or death to you and/or others. (Page 1-5)
Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system. Never
run the engine without proper ventilation. Do not run the engine in a
conned space or where fumes may be trapped. Do not run the en-
gine when the boat is stationary in calm wind conditions. (Page 5-6)
Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system. Never
run the engine without proper ventilation. Do not run the engine in a
conned space or where fumes may be trapped. (Pages 6-4, 6-5)
DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found dur-
ing 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 attention immediately. See your authorized Master-
Craft dealer’s service department for assistance. (Page 8-1)
Battery electrolyte uid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poi-
sonous, 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 17-1)
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. (Pages 6-1, 17-1, 17-3)
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine 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! (Pages 5-4, 17-2, 17-3, 17-4)
Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended,
and can result in impaired visibility, diminished handling characteristics
and instability when operating your boat, and may result in potential
structural and/or engine damage to the boat, which damage will not be
covered by your warranty. (Page 11-1)
Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such
failure may result in death or serious injury! (Page 13-1)
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits can
cause operation 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)
