LOADING THE BOAT
Never overload the boat. The maximum weight capacity as
listed on the certification plate includes all items added to the
boat (including persons and gear). Proper distribution of weight
is critical to boat performance. Allocate the load as evenly as
possible. The maximum weight capacity includes filled, factory
installed ballast tanks and/or ballast bags, as well as any added by
the customer.
The maximum weight capacity is calculated with full factory-
installed fuel and ballast tanks. The weight of occupants, gear
and water in any ballast bags added by the customer reduces
the Maximum Capacity of the boat. Failure to adhere to the total
Maximum Capacity may result in too much strain on the drive train
or may sink the boat. This is not covered under warranty. See the
Common Sense Approach information in the Safety section of this
Owner’s Manual regarding weight.
Adding supplementary aftermarket ballast to a MasterCraft
boat is not recommended, and can result in impaired visibility,
diminished handling characteristics and instability when
operating your boat. Such condition may result in potential
structural and/or engine damage to the boat. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
Information regarding the Maximum Capacity for each boat is
included in the Guide to Individual Models section of this Owner’s
Manual and on a placard located near the operator’s position.
It is the boat operator’s responsibility to ensure that the boat is
never overloaded. Too much additional weight may cause the
boat to overturn or sink, which can result in serious bodily injury
or death.
EMERGENCIES
Know how to use and spot distress signals, and to oer
assistance if possible. Remember, you may need assistance
someday. Review the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
COURTESY
Always respect the rights of others on the water. Keep wide when
passing, slow down in crowded areas, be alert and be aware of
your wake and wash. See the Rules of the Open Water information
in the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
