CHECK THE
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Because you will get an accurate reading
only after the engine has run long enough to
thoroughly warm up, this should be one of the
last checks you conduct before boating. Run the
engine in the water at least five minutes in the
water, and check the fluid immediately after shut-
ting down to get an accurate reading.
Step 1: After operating the engine at idle while in
the water for at least five minutes or until warm,
turn the engine OFF and disconnect the engine
safety starting switch. Be sure the throttle/shift
control lever is in neutral. Open the engine com-
partment and locate the transmission dipstick.
Note: The transmission fluid level must be
checked immediately after the engine shut-
down to prevent an incorrect reading. Fluid drains back into the transmission from the cooler and cooler lines, and the
dipstick could give a false reading if not done quickly.
Step 2: Remove the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean rag. Quickly re-insert it fully and immediately remove. Check that the level
is at the FULL WARM mark on the stick.
Step 3: Add or remove fluid as necessary to maintain the level at the mark. It is as important to avoid overfilling the transmission
fluid as it is to avoid underfilling. Use only the recommended automotive-type transmission fluid. Check with your MasterCraft
dealer for the specifications. Never mix different types or brands of fluid! The manufacturer specifies Dexron-III fluid in the
direct drive 1:1 transmission and 15W40 motor oil in the V-drives and gear-reduction transmissions.
LUBRICATE THE ENGINE
STARTER GEAR AND SHAFT
Because this process should be completed while the engine is
cool and cannot cause burns to your skin, we recommend you do
this before starting your boat.
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the en-
gine safety starting switch is disconnected. Be
certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in
neutral. The engine must be cool.
Step 2: Disconnect the positive (+) battery
terminal.
Step 3: Open the engine cover and locate
the starter on the lower starboard side of the
engine.
Step 4: Disconnect the starter and carefully
remove it.
