• Fold tower back and rest it on the motor box (or the tower
stands included with the boat to protect upholstery). Some
padding is advised to protect adjacent surfaces.
If Removing, Follow These Additional Steps:
• Pull excess wires out from under the deck.
• Disconnect the light wires. Note: On the tower side, fold the
wires and push them up into the tube. On the deck side, fold/
loop the wires up and stuff them back into the access hole.
Do not plug the wires together. This will act as a direct short
if the light switch is turned on, resulting in a tripped circuit
breaker.
• Looping the wires up so they create pressure against the
deck/hole will provide additional resistance to help prevent
them from falling down.
• Do no If this happens, the side access panel will have to be
removed to re-route them through the access hole.
• Ensuring the wires are clear, stand the tower all the way back
up to its normal operating position.
• From the back side of the tower, push the base of the tower
leg forward.
• It should easily slide about 1/2” before catching on a small,
raised feature intended to keep the tower from sliding out
too easily and the operator losing control of it.
Because Z towers are specifically designed and tested for our
boats, MasterCraft discourages installation of after-market
towers. After-market towers may lead to damages and will most
likely void the warranty. We urge owners to buy towers and related
accessories from an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
Operation
Each MasterCraft tower has a unique operation method. The Z6 is
operated using a lock-pin mechanism, while the Z8 and Z10 utilize
hydraulic support. For detailed instructions on how to use a specific
model, refer to its respective section in this manual.
Raising and Lowering the ProStar Tower
Lowering (and Leaving the Tower Attached):
• While applying some upward/forward pressure on the tower
header, disengage one of the hand knobs.
• Repeat for the other side (or a second person can do this
simultaneously). Note: Typically, it is easier to disengage both
sides first compared to completely removing one knob and then
disengaging and removing the second. The angled thread on the
knobs can put the tower/threads in a bind.
• Completely unscrew the hand knobs until they are disengaged
(a spring pushes them out).
