2017 OWNERS MANUAL
CONGRATULATIONS
On your boating choice! MasterCraft is the recognized world leader for inboard boats today and has been for over forty-five 
years. The quality, innovation, selection and value of MasterCraft boats are unmatched in the industry.
Please take a few minutes to read this Owner’s Manual completely, in addition to carefully reviewing any additional information 
provided in the accompanying packet. These publications will help to answer most of the remaining questions you may have 
regarding the new boat. If you have any additional questions after reading these publications, please feel free to speak with 
your dealer. MasterCraft wants you to feel comfortable with your boat (and trailer, where applicable) from the very beginning 
of your experience as an owner of our products.
All information in this Owner’s Manual is based on the latest product information available at the time of printing. Because 
of our policy of continuous product improvement, we reserve the right to make changes at any time, without notice, in 
specifications and models, and also to discontinue models. We also reserve the right to change specifications, parts or 
accessories at any time without incurring any obligation to equip the same on models manufactured before the date 
of the change. MasterCraft recommends checking www.mastercraft.com periodically, specifically the Knowledge 
Center, for updates and additional information.
Due to changes in specifications, models, parts and/or accessories that may occur after publication of this Owner’s 
Manual, the Owner’s Manual may not cover every circumstance that may arise in owning and operating a boat. Also, 
the illustrations used in this Owner’s Manual are intended only as representative reference views and may not depict 
actual model component parts. Information regarding certain on-board components furnished by suppliers other than 
MasterCraft, including the engine and power train components, is provided separately by the manufacturers of those 
components. This information is available through your dealer. A reasonable effort has been made by MasterCraft and 
it suppliers to provide the applicable information required to ensure a long-lasting and enjoyable boating experience.
