See also the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
Models
All
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a
fire inside can cause the fire to flare up and/or spread, which may
result in serious injury or death to people onboard.
Never attempt to fight a fire with your hands, feet, clothing,
or other material onboard the boat, other than approved fire
suppression or fire extinguishing products as specified by
MasterCraft. Failure to follow directions as outlined in this section
can result in serious injury or death.
Purpose
MasterCraft has developed an extensive fire suppression
and extinguishing system for its boats. All MasterCraft boats
are equipped with an automatic fire suppression system. The
automatic system operates from sensors in the engine room and
will automatically release a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that
does not leave residue behind. All boats have also been specified
to carry a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammonium phosphate expellant
(dry chemical) unit, which is rated Class A (trash, wood and
paper), Class B (UL Approved) and Class C (energized electrical
equipment). These units should be used in situations other than
engine compartment fires.
Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as soon as
possible after use, or after 12 years from the date of manufacture.
In the event of any evidence of a fire within the engine
compartment, DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (BOX).
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a
fire inside can cause the fire to flare up and/or spread, which may
result in extensive damage or even sinking of the boat and/or
serious injury or death to people on board. Shut down the engine
and blowers. Continuously discharge the entire contents of the fire
suppression unit immediately.
