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
be just as lethal as high concentrations. Carbon monoxide from ex-
haust 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 located 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
the participant holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through the

ly dangerous, highly likely to result in death or serious bodily injury,

The tow tower approved for use on your boat should be used only for
water skis, wakeboards or recreational towables, and not for para-
that are not approved for use on your MasterCraft boat. Do not climb
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 1-7)
Information regarding the maximum number of people and/or addi-
tional weight to the boat is included in the Guide to Individual Models
section of this Manual. It is the boat operator’s responsibility to en-
sure 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 3-8)
Boat operators should never attempt to duplicate operational skills
of professional drivers. When such maneuvers fail, it can result in se-
rious injury or death. (Page 3-9)

made as to whether the boat can safely be operated. If there is any
doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore
and/or dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior
to operating again. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in death or serious injury/illness. (Page 2-70)

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 3-4)

tention. (Page 4-13)
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydro-
well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a
battery may cause an electrical charge or even an explosion of the bat-
tery, which could result in death or serious injury. (Pages 2-33, 4-13, 4-14)
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 2-67, 4-13, 4-14, 4-15, 4-16)
Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended,
and can result in impaired visibility, diminished handling characteris-
tics and instability when operating your boat, and may result in poten-
tial structural and/or engine damage to the boat, which damage will
not be covered by your warranty. (Page 3-8)
Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such
failure may result in death or serious injury! (Page 4-3)
