Specifications

The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must
be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing or body parts can
get caught in moving parts, causing serious injury or death.
Keep away from moving parts!
Step 3: This portion of the inspection requires the operation of the engine with
the engine compartment open and should be performed by your MasterCraft
dealer. Your dealer will start the engine with the engine compartment open and
should ensure that the water hoses are connected and that the engine plugs are
installed in order to properly inspect the shaft log for leakage. DO NOT run the
engine if there is no water supply as this will burn out the seal. With another person
operating the boat, inspect the shaft log for leakage. Ten-to-fifteen drops of water per minute is normal. If the water entry is
excessive, however, then the packing gland must be adjusted.
Attention must be paid to any leakage occurring in the propeller shaft
log area. Water intrusion into the transmission, which can happen if
excessive leakage is occurring, can cause serious damage and void your warranty.
INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
This inspection requires the operation of the engine with the engine
compartment open, thereby creating a potentially dangerous
situation. Therefore, this inspection should be performed by your
authorized MasterCraft dealer. Whenever this inspection is
performed, utmost care must be exercised to avoid personal
injury or death. Your MasterCraft dealer will perform the following
steps in conducting this inspection:
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting
switch disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is
in neutral. The engine must be cool.
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite
resulting in fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and
flames well away from the area while inspecting the boat’s
fuel system.
Step 2: Open the engine compartment and visually check as much of the fuel system from the tank to the engine as you
can see.
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must
