T
his owner’s manual has been developed to help
ensure an enjoyable experience as you boat,
wakeboard and ski with your MasterCraft boat. As
stated earlier, this information is not all-inclusive. There
are many factors to consider and additional information
that you need to research before undertaking any boat-
ing activity.
In addition to reading this Owner’s Manual and other re-
lated material, and familiarizing yourself with the proper
operation of your MasterCraft boat, you should also al-
ways use common sense when boating. For example,
when anchoring your boat, you MUST turn OFF the en-
gine. In most models, exhaust fumes containing carbon
monoxide are emitted from the exhaust ap area of the
transom immediately below the swim platform. No one
should ever be on the swim platform or transom while the
engine is operating.
MasterCraft strongly encourages individuals to wear Per-
sonal Flotation Devices (PFDs). In many states, it is a
legal requirement for children to wear them. Non-swim-
mers and swimmers of limited ability of any age should
never be without one.
Your MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless
hours of family fun, as well as building friendships. But it
works only if YOU use your head before, during and after
your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead with your Mas-
terCraft boat, be sure that, rst and foremost, you are
well-prepared to be a responsible operator.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odor-
less and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly
and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure
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 concentra-
tions. Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of
inboard or outboard engines may build up inside
and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents.
STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which
are located at the stern of the boat, and DO NOT
swim or engage in any watersports or other activi-
ties in or near the stern area of the boat, includ-
ing, 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 plat-
form while the engine is operating and the boat
is in motion. ese activities (sometimes known
as “teak surfing” 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 dan-
gerous, highly likely to result in death or serious
bodily injury, and are a misuse of this product.
Overloading a boat may cause it to become unstable
and may potentially result in the boat’s otation system
becoming overwhelmed. Too much weight can sink any
boat! Within this Manual and on a label mounted in each
boat is the indication of the weight limits for that specic
model. Bear in mind that total weight limits include water
ballast, gear brought onto the boat, additional options
and all people.
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to
the posted limits can cause operational instability
and/or the boat to sink. is may result in serious
injury or death, as well as significant damage to
the boat, which will not be covered by warranty.
