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

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-
