While operating attitude adjustment plates use caution. Improper
use of plates can cause accidents, which may result in serious injury
or death.
While the boat is underway do not move one plate up or down
signicantly as this may cause listing.
While at higher speeds do not over-trim, as this will cause the bow
to lower quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed and may cause the
boat to veer.
When in following seas or when running an inlet, the plates should be
fully retracted. This will allow for optimal performance.
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ACTUATORS PROVIDE AN INSTANT
RESPONSE. WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, USE SHORT MO-
MENTARY TAPS OF THE SWITCH. (Page 5-2)
Improperly stored anchors and/or anchor line that has been improp-
erly re-wound through the windlass system, may create a hazardous
situation. People on-board can trip on improperly stored materials,
which can result in injury. Improperly stored materials can also move
too freely during boat operation and make contact with individuals,
again causing injury. Properly store all anchor and lines whether the
boat is in operation or not, unless the anchor and line are in use.
(Page 6-1)
The platform must be raised and locked into position for use of the
platform while boating. No one should be allowed on the platform
until the platform is securely locked in place and the engine is OFF.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death! (Page 6-7)
MasterCraft has determined that for the tower utilized on the cur-
rent models, the total weight of all accessories mounted on the tower
should never exceed 85 pounds, regardless of whether the acces-
sories are MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have come from an
aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this restriction can result in tower
failure, which could result in serious injury or death to the boat op-
erator and/or passengers. (Page 6-7)
Engaging the engine synchronization functionality requires practice to
master. Because the boat will be in gear and will move during the
process, even after mastering the maneuver boat operators should
synchronize engines only on bodies of water of sufcent size to ac-
complish the maneuver without making contact with other vessels
or with inanimate objects, which could cause serious bodily injury or
signicant damage to the boat. (Page 5-4)
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 corrosion.
(Page 13-1)
All replaced fuel components must meet United States Coast Guard
(“USCG”) and American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. (“ABYC”) stan-
dards, and must be Underwriter’s Laboratory (“UL”)-approved. Infe-
rior quality components pose a serious safety threat to you and oth-
ers, and the use of inferior components may result in serious injury or
death. Resulting damage may void the warranty. (Page 17-6)
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 others could be burned and the boat seriously
damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate amount of ap-
proved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced
by your local authorized dealer’s service department. Note that dam-
age to your engine from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to repair.
Such damage is not covered by your warranty. (Page 5-4)
Some engine parts become very hot during operation. This inspection
must be completed while the engine is cool to prevent burns to your
skin. Perform this task before starting the boat.
(Pages 17-2, 17-5)
When boating, avoid using the windshield as an aid for balance or getting
out of a seat. This causes undue stress to the window frame and could
damage it, which may not be covered under warranty. (Page 8-1)
To ensure proper break-in and lubrication, boat owners should not
remove the factory break-in oil until after the initial ten (10) hours
of operation. At that time, an oil change should be performed on the
Indmar engines by an authorized MasterCraft service technician at
an authorized MasterCraft dealer. (Page 9-1)
DO NOT use the ski pylon or any portion of any tower for lifting.
They are NOT designed to be used as a central lifting point. Also, DO
NOT use the stern ski tow as a lifting ring. The deck may be damaged.
See the Storage Cradle sub-section of this section. Also never lift a boat
with water in the bilge or containing a water-lled device such as a
ballast system or sack. The extra stress will put an excessive load on
the hull and lifting equipment that may seriously damage the boat. Such
damage may not be covered by the warranty. (Page 12-1)
Continued operation after the warning light has illuminated may cause
severe engine damage. This will void your warranty. (Page 10-2)
Because of the complexity of preparing a boat for proper winter stor-
age, as well as the possibility of extreme damage to the drive train if
a preparation error was made during winterization, MasterCraft rec-
ommends scheduling an appointment with an authorized MasterCraft
dealer’s service department to permit a technician to perform all win-
terization procedures. (Page 18-1)
