• activate them as indicated above and attempt to put out the fire.
Remain alert to the fact that a fire near or in the fuel tank or fuel
lines is especially dangerous. Follow the instructions in the pre-
ceding paragraph, if a fuel fire begins or if the fire extinguisher(s)
has not been effective in putting out the fire.
CLEATS
Models
All
Purpose
Cleats are an important feature of MasterCraft boats. The cleats
allow boaters to tie-up to docks with ease and confidence.
Location
Cleat locations vary by model. (See Guide to Individual Models in
this Owner’s Manual to determine the locations for your model.)
Cleats will be on top deck sides of the bow, and aft near the
transom. Some larger models also have mid-ship cleats. Some
cleats are elevated slightly above the deck while others are pop-up
cleats that fit flush with the deck when not in use.
Operation
Use marine-grade lines to loop over the cleat and tie up to the dock,
allowing some slack in the rope. If there is any motion in the body of
water, MasterCraft recommends also purchasing “fenders” from an
aftermarket supplier to provide a cushion between the boat and the
dock. Without a cushion, the boat’s finished gel coat and graphics
can be damaged. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
The boat should be tied to docks with marine-grade lines ONLY
to the cleats, and allowing some slack. Never tie-up the boat to
the tower, mirror, seats or any other part of the boat. If the ability
exists to tie up to all cleats on the side nearest to the dock, opera-
tors should do so. MasterCraft also recommends using fenders to
cushion the side of the boat in the event of water motion. Other-
wise, the boat gel coat and graphics may be damaged, and such
damage is not covered under the warranty.
