Specifications

3: Gasoline is explosive. If you see or smell the
presence of gasoline during your inspection, DO
NOT START YOUR ENGINE! Remove your ignition
key from the ignition switch and call your
MasterCraft dealer for service. (Page 15-17)
4: Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive
under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within
50 feet of the fueling area when refueling. (Page 6-2)
5: Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled
accidentally, wipe up all traces of it with dry rags
immediately and dispose of properly on shore.
(Page 6-2)
6: Failure to operate the blower as instructed could
cause improper ventilation of the boat engine and
bilge areas. Fuel vapors can accumulate in this
area and cause a fire or
explosion which may result
in serious injury or death!
(Page 5-3)
7: To prevent a possible
explosion, operate the
blower for at least four (4)
minutes before starting the
engine and always when at
idle or slow-running speed.
Explosive gasoline and/or
battery fumes may be
present in the engine
compartment. Failure to do
so may result in serious
injury or death! (Page 9-1)
8: 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 effects
of exposure to carbon monoxide are cumulative
and can be just as lethal as at 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. 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 activties 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 “teak surfing” or similar activities be per-
formed during the operation of your MasterCraft
boat–such activities are a misuse of this product.

9: The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the
operator whenever the engine is started. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
(Page 5-3)
10: Never override or modify the engine safety shut-off
switch or engine neutral starting safety switch in
any way. (Page 1-3)
11: Before starting the engine, open the engine
compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel
and oil leaks or the presence of fuel or oil in the
bilge. (Page 9-1)
12: Do not tow more than two persons at one time on
a tow tower. The tow tower should be used only
for water skis, wakeboards, or recreational
towables and not for parasailing, kite flying or
towing other boats. Do not add any attachments
that are not installed by MasterCraft. Do not climb
on, sit on, stand on, jump off or dive off the tower.
Never allow passengers to sit
behind the tow rope attachment
point. Never allow loose tow
rope ends to dangle. Always be
certain that all bolts are in place
and tight before and during use.
When the tower is up, watch for
low obstacles such as tree
limbs, bridges or power lines.

WARNING indicates a
potentially hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
1: DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem
is found during the Safety Check. A problem could
lead to an accident during the outing, resulting in
serious injury or death. Any and all problems
should receive attention immediately. See your
MasterCraft dealer for assistance. (Page 7-1)
2: Running the engine with the flame arrestor
removed increases the possibility of fire or explo-
sion if the engine should backfire and gasoline
fumes are present. If the engine is operated
without the flame arrestor secured, extreme care
must be taken to ensure that the engine compart-
ment is well-ventilated and that no fuel leaks are
present. (Page 17-1)
3: Battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains
sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and
caustic. If electrolyte is spilled or placed on any part
of the human body, immediately flush the area with
