Care should also be taken to avoid interfering with the boat operator’s line of sight when the boat is underway.
is applies particularly to individuals riding in the bow. It is possible to quite unintentionally obscure the driv-
er’s view. Even momentary interference can result in the driver’s inability to respond to a situation that requires
avoidance of another vessel or submerged or partially-submerged objects. Everyone on board should always pay
attention to other vessels, people and
objects located in close proximity to
the boat, activities taking place in or
near the water, and should always be
supportive of the boat operator.
MasterCraft strongly encourages
individuals to wear Personal Flota-
tion Devices (PFDs). In many states,
it is a legal requirement for children
to wear them at all times while on
board. Non-swimmers and swim-
mers of limited ability of any age
should never be without a PFD while
on a boat.
Avoid any activity that may result
in damage to the boat, thereby void-
ing the warranty. Some things, such
as avoiding stationary objects, are
obvious. However, even less obvious
activities can cause damage to a boat,
no matter how well-built. For exam-
ple, while a beach or shoreline may seem soft while walking on it, running a boat up onto shore may result in
significant scratches in the fiberglass finish. e causes of many kinds of damage are usually quite obvious to
trained service personnel.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect that could result in damage to the boat or
that may cause illness, injury or even death to boaters. e operator, owner and/or all persons on board are
responsible for using common sense and a careful thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken
to keep boating enjoyable for many years to come. A MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless hours of
family fun, as well as building friendships. But the boating experience remains safe only if YOU use your head
before, during and after your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead with the MasterCraft boat, be sure that, first and foremost, you
are well-prepared to be responsible.
