2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 306
Failure to operate the boat from a seated position at the helm 
may result in a loss of control which could cause serious injury or 
death. Do not operate the boat with the reversible seat facing the 
main cockpit (aft). Always position the reversible seat facing the 
bow before operating the boat. Operating the boat with the seat 
facing the main cockpit (aft) could lead to loss of control of the 
boat, injury or property damage.
SURF SLEEVES
Models 
Optional on all boats equipped with a ZFT4 or ZFT7 tower.
X46 REVERSIBLE HELM SEAT
Models 
Optional X46 Models  
 
Purpose  
The 36” wide helm seat was designed to seat up to two adults at 
the helm. The seat can be reversed to face the main cockpit of 
the boat when stopped. As with all MasterCraft helm seats, the 
reversible helm seat includes a flip up bolster to aid in visibility while 
driving. Do not operate the boat with the helm seat in the rear facing 
position.  
 
Location  
The X46 Reversible Helm Seat is located at the helm. 
 
Operation 
To change the orientation of the X46 reversible helm seat, pull on 
the lever mounted inside the hinge bracket to release the seat, then 
flip the seat forward or aft. The bracket holding the backrest will 
guide the seat into place. 
 
Troubleshooting  
Should the reversible helm seat ever bind up or get stuck in either 
position, take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for 
repair.
Purpose
Surf sleeves allow surf boards to be stowed during boat operation 
without taking up additional space on deck. This is particularly con-
venient for surf boards which do not fit in storage compartments.
Location
Surf sleeves are mounted on top of Bimini canvas.
Operation
Slide surf boards inside one of the four pockets and snap the pro-
tective strap to secure each board. Always secure the surf boards 
with the straps and be sure that the boards are fully inserted into 
the sleeves, as boards can become dislodged and fall onto the 
deck, potentially harming passengers. Never trailer a boat with surf 
boards in the surf sleeves, even if the straps are snapped. The force 
on the system could cause the straps to break and allow the boards 
to come out of the sleeves.  
 
 
Never tow over the road with anything in the surf sleeve, even 
with the straps connected. Wind and air currents can be sucient 
to break straps and/or force the surf boards or other items to 
dislodge. This could result in damage to vehicles following and/or 
serious injury or death to individuals in those vehicles. 
GOPRO VIEWING SYSTEM
Models
X10, X20, XT23, X23, X26, X46 and XStar, as an option. 
 
Purpose
The video cable ensures correct GoPro camera placement by dis-
playing on the 7” dash a live stream of what the camera is actively 
recording.  Connecting the video cable also makes it possible to 
control the camera’s angle and zoom settings while it is mounted to 
the boat tower
NOTE:  When towing with the GoPro tower mount, tow ropes should 
be mounted as indicated in the picture on the previous page. Each 
GoPro viewing system has a sticker indicating where the rope 
should be attached.
