Every boat MasterCraft builds is required by law to have on board
one (1) 2.5-pound, dry chemical fire extinguisher rated for
Type A, B and C fires. The dry chemical fire extinguisher is standard
equipment, and is automatically included in your boat from
the factory. Replacement units can be ordered from MasterCraft.
If any of the fire suppression system canisters on board your
boat are discharged (whether a canister in an automatic system
or a portable fire extinguisher), then they must be replaced
immediately. If the automatic fire suppression system has
been discharged, the video display at the helm will notify the
driver. If the clean agent canister associated with the automatic
fire suppression system has been discharged, it must be

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE
Fire on-board is among the most serious of matters that boaters
can experience. Due to the close proximity of fuel tanks and a
number of electrically operated items that can result in a spark
or arc, any and all fires on a boat should be a matter for
:immediate action.
While your MasterCraft boat is equipped with a fire suppression
system and fire extinguishers (except models imported into
Japan), it is important to make a quick and calculated decision
regarding any fires. If the extinguishing/suppression materials
do not quickly extinguish the fire, it may become necessary to
abandon ship. Make sure everyone on board has a PFD and swims
as quickly and as far as possible, up wind and upstream from the
boat. If gasoline is released, it will float on top of the water. It may
spread out or move with the body of water’s current.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
The engine compartment in every MasterCraft boat is equipped
with an automatic fire suppression system. The system has a
manual deployment handle mounted in the helm area (domestic
boats only) which uses a clean agent canister to suppress fires in
the engine compartment.
chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged, it must be
replaced with a fire extinguisher that is rated for Type A, B and C
fires from an authorized MasterCraft dealer or another source.
