Refrigeration
 Some models offer optional refrigeration. In the MariStar 280
and X-80 models, it is a refrigerator unit, which is free of CFCs,
andinstructionsareprovidedbythemanufacturer.IntheCSX265
models,coldplatesareprovidedinthetwostoragebinsunderthe
seatthatareimmediatelyaftofthesteeringhelm.Theselargestainless
steelplatesattachtothewallinsidethestoragebin,throughwhich
coolantcirculates,similartotheoperationofaregularrefrigerator.
 Notethattherefrigeratorandthecoldplatesfunctionofftheboat’s
electricalsystem.AttentionshouldbepaidtotheVoltmeter(s)tobe
certainthatthesesystemsdonotover-draintheelectricalsystem.
 OntheMariStar280andX-80refrigeratorunitnotethatitcan
beusedinanambientairtemperaturerangeof-4degreesFahrenheit
(-20Celsius)to130F(55C),andamaximumof90percentairhumid
-
ityinconstantoperation.Thedevicecancoolgoodsinatemperature
rangeof28degreesF(-2C)to53degreesF(12C).Itisequipped
withabatterymonitorthatswitchesthecompressoroffandonagain,
protectingthebatteryandthecompressoragainstdamage.
 Therefrigeratorissuitableforcoolingfood.Ifyouwishtocool
medicine,pleasechecktodeterminewhetherthecoolingcapacityis
sufcientforthemedicineinquestion.
 Fooditems oranythingthat cancreate an odor should not be
leftin the refrigeratoror cold plateareas. Neithershouldanything
thatcanleakbeleftintheseunitsastheycouldpotentiallydamage
theunits,andthistypeofdamageisnotcoveredunderwarranty.The
condenserontherefrigeratorshouldbe keptfreeofdust,dirtand
anythingthatinhibitsitsproperoperation.Themanufactureralsorec-
ommendsleavingthedrawerslightlyopenifitwillnotbeusedfora
periodoftime.Thishelpspreventunpleasantodorsfromforming.
 Refrigerator cleaning instructions have been provided by the
manufacturer. Note that it shouldalways be OFF, and should never
becleanedunderowingwaterorsubmergedinanykindofbodyof
water,including,butnotlimitedto,asink.Donotuseabrasivecleaning
agents.Ifitisnecessarytodefrosttheinterior,neverremovelayers
oficewithhardorsharptoolsastheycandamagetheplasticofthe
vaporizer.Allowtheunittoairdefrost.
 Therefrigeratoroperatesbyopeningthecoolboxdoorandturn-
ingthethermostatknobclockwise.Shuttingitoffrequiresturningthe
thermostatknobcounterclockwise.
Seat Heaters
 Forrealcomfort,somemodelsofferaseatheateroption,which
willbeforthedriver’sseat,andsometimesintheobserver’sseat.Itis
notofferedforanyotherseatingintheboat.Notethattheignition
mustbeONfortheseatheatertowork.Theheater(s)operatebya
switchonthecontrolpanel.IftheswitchisturnedONandtheseat
doesnotwarmup,orappearstobecometoowarm,turntheswitch
toOFFandseekassistancefromyourauthorizedMasterCraftdealer
inremedyingtheissue.
Shower or Wash Down
 Manymodelsofferashowerorwashdownoption.Asinglethree-
positionswitchmountedinanaftpositionstorageareacontrolsthe
optionalshowerandoptionalSlickBootfunctions.Theswitchismarked
foreach.TurntheswitchtowardtheShowermarkingtoturnONthe
shower.ReturntocenterforOFF.Turntotheotherdirectiontoturn
ONtheSlickBoot.ReturntocenterforOFF.Theseinstructionswork
whethertheboatisequippedwithone(1)orbothoftheoptions,but
willnotbefoundinboatsthatarenotequippedwitheitheroption.
 OnMariStars,CSX220or265,theX-StarandtheSaltwaterSeries
atankoptionwithinavailablemodelscanprovideafresh-waterwash
oftheboatinterior.Thetankwillbeeight(8),ten(10)ortwenty-ve
