Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting
in fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and flames away
from the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system. (Page 17-2)
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is present or gasoline is
visually observed in the bilge area during inspection, DO NOT
START YOUR ENGINE! Remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch and call an authorized MasterCraft dealer for service.
(Pages 7-1, 17-8)
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Always stop the engine and never smoke or al-
low open flames or sparks within fifty (50) feet of the fueling area
when fueling. (Page 7-1)
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally,
wipe up all traces of it with dry rags immediately and dispose of
properly on shore. (Page 7-1)
To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least
four (4) minutes before starting the engine and always when at
idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery
fumes may be present in the engine compartment. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death! (Pages 5-3, 10-1)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause
serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low
concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of exposure to carbon monoxide
can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations. Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or
outboard engines may build up inside and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents, particularly during
slow-speed operations. STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at the stern of the boat,
and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat, includ-
ing, without limitation, the swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in operation. Under no
circumstances should the owner and/or operator allow persons to hold onto the swim platform while the engine
is operating and the boat is in motion. ese activities (sometimes known as “teak surfing” or “platform drag-
ging,” where the participant holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through the water, and/or “body surfs”
immediately behind the boat) are extremely dangerous, highly likely to result in death or serious bodily injury,
and are a misuse of this product. (Pages 2-1, 6-8, 6-9)
e safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator whenever the engine is running. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury! (Page 5-5)
Never override or modify the engine emergency safety shut-off switch in any way. (Page 1-6)
Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel and oil leaks or
the presence of fuel or oil in the bilge. (Page 10-1)
Do not tow more than two (2) persons at one time on a tow tower. e tow tower approved for use on your
boat should be used only for water skis, wakeboards or recreational towables, and not for parasailing, kite
flying or towing other boats. Do not add any attachments that are not approved for use on your MasterCraft
boat. Do not climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off of or dive off of the tower. Never allow passengers to sit
behind the tow rope attachment point. Never allow loose tow rope ends to dangle. Always be certain that all
bolts are in place and tight before and during use. When the tower is up, watch for low obstacles such as tree
limbs, bridges or power lines. (Page 1-7)
Information regarding the maximum number of people and/or additional weight to the boat is included in
the Guide to Individual Models section of this Manual. It is the boat operator’s responsibility to ensure that
the boat is never overloaded. Too much additional weight may cause the boat to overturn or sink, which can
result in serious bodily injury or death. (Page 11-1)
Boat operators should never attempt to duplicate operational skills of professional drivers. When such ma-
neuvers fail, it can result in serious injury or death. (Page 11-2)
Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting
the engine may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others. (Page 1-7)
Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system. Never run the engine without proper ventila-
