INSPECT COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGE
Although your boat engine is similar to your automobile engine, the engine compartment differs substantially. The
underside of your automobile engine compartment is totally open to the atmosphere. This allows complete air circulation
and ventilation. Your boat engine is housed in a closed compartment, the underside of which is the bottom of the boat.
The enclosed engine compartment limits the ventilation of gasoline and oil fumes. Because confined gasoline vapors
mixed with a little air can form an explosive atmosphere, it is important to be especially vigilant in performing the following two
operations:
Step 1: Run your bilge blower for at least four minutes to ventilate the bilge area each time before starting the engine.
Step 2: Inspect your boat bilge area under the engine for the evidence of oil and gasoline–or any gasoline odor. This
inspection should take place the first time the boat is started each day. Raise the engine cover and visually look at the bilge
area under the engine.
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.
Note: If you notice loose fuel fittings, deteriorated lines or other problems associated with the fuel system,
call your MasterCraft dealer. Fuel system service on later-model MasterCraft boats require special service
tools and special training. Due to the potential for serious consequences when errors occur in servicing the fuel
system, MasterCraft strongly encourages all boat owners to seek professional assistance from your
MasterCraft service department whenever any service or perceived problems occur within the fuel system.
All replaced fuel system components must meet United States Coast Guard (“USCG”)
and American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. (“ABYC”) standards, and must be Underwriter’s
Laboratory (“UL”)-approved. Inferior quality components pose a serious safety threat to you
and others, and the use of inferior components may result in serious injury or death.
Resulting damage may void your warranty.
