Special Attention
MasterCraft reminds consumers to review the Common Sense
Approach section of this Owner’s Manual, and pay particular
attention to avoiding “teak surfing” or “platform dragging,” which
expose the participant to excess carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless 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 eects of exposure to carbon
monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations.
Carbon monoxide from exhaust 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 (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 dangerous, highly likely to result in
death or serious bodily injury, and are a misuse of this product.
Additional Special Attention
Swim platforms, especially those that feature teak wood, require
consistent maintenance to retain luster and finish (see the Care
and Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual for important care
requirements). Failure to follow instructions can result in damage to
the platform that is not covered under warranty.
If at any time the swim platform does not feel secure (there should
be no noticeable movement or “play” in relation to the rest of the
boat), immediately leave the swim platform. Verify that, whether
permanently attached or held in place with brackets, the platform is
fastened as designed. If it is not, stop using the swim platform and
take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for repair.
PLATFORM CARE
All Wood Platforms
If shoes are worn when walking on teak wood platforms, they should
be proper boating shoes. Black-soled shoes are likely to scu the
surface, resulting in marks that may be dicult or impossible to
remove. These marks or stains are not covered under warranty.
To maintain its original appearance and finish, teak wood will need
