that may seriously damage the boat and void your
warranty. (Page 11-1)
3: Continued operation after the warning light has
illuminated may cause severe engine damage. This
will void your warranty. (Page 9-2)
4: Because of the complexity of preparing your boat for
proper winter storage, as well as the possibility of
extreme damage to the engine if a preparation
error was made during winterization, MasterCraft
recommends that you schedule an appointment
with your local MasterCraft dealer and permit the
dealer to perform the winterization procedures.
(Page 17-1)
5: Add-on equipment may adversely affect the alternator
output or overload the
electrical system. Any
damage caused as a
result will not be covered
by, and may void, your
warranty. (Page 15-3)
6: Ignoring elevated
temperatures on a
temperature gauge or
any other evidence of
the engine operating at
temperatures above
recommended levels
can result in serious
damage to the engine.
Any resulting damage
will not be covered by,
and may void, your
warranty! (Page 15-4)
7: Failure to follow the
engine oil recommenda-
tion listed in the manual
can cause additional engine wear and increase the
possibility of engine component failure. Damage to
your engine due to incorrect oil usage can be costly
to repair, and is not covered by your warranty!
(Pages 8-2 and 15-11)
8: Failure to maintain your coolant at the proper level
can cause engine damage. Your warranty will not
cover engine damage due to overheating or any
other cause associated with improper coolant levels.
(Page 15-2)
9: Do not operate the starter motor continuously for
more than fifteen (15) seconds without at least a
two (2) minute “cool-down” period. Failure to do so
may cause the starter to overheat, resulting in
damage. Failure to release the ignition key after the
engine has started may cause damage to the
starter motor and drive. (Page 9-2)
10: Damage to the engine by use of low-quality
gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating below
the minimum level listed will void the warranty on
your boat. (Page 6-2)
11: Fuels that are blended to contain methanol or
wood alcohol are not to be used in MasterCraft
engines. These fuels can corrode some metal
parts in your fuel system and engine. Damage
caused by the use of unapproved fuels is not
covered by warranty. (Page 6-2)
12: Extended storage with fuel in the system can
affect the fuel’s stability and may require system
inspection and fuel filter replacement when the
unit is placed back into service. (Page 6-2)
13: Lifting slings must never
contact shafts, struts or hardware
protruding from the hull. Damage
caused by slings will void your
warranty. (Page 11-1)
14: When your boat is out of the
water, it is important to support
the hull correctly to avoid any hull
damage that will void your war-
ranty. (Page 11-1)
15: Crossing cables or jumper
cables can result in damage to the
electrical components due to
incorrect battery connections.
Such damages are not covered by
your warranty. (Page 15-8)
16: 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. (Page 15-5)
17: Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall
below one-quarter of a tank full may affect the
reliability of the fuel pump or result in damage to
the fuel pump, which is not covered under
warranty. [Page 6-2)
