Ski/Wakeboard Rope

MasterCraft boats are equipped with ski pylons as standard equipment, and may

also oﬀer other optional pylons and towers intended to be used to attach rope for

skiing and wakeboarding. Note that tow ropes should never be attached to anything

but the approved pylon or tower. Care should also be taken by all on board to pay at-

tention to the tow rope as it can snap back and hit people on-board when a skier or

wakeboarder lets go of it. Usually, rope simply skips along the water surface behind

the boat, but it can become airborne, especially if it was taut prior to release.

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 concentra-

tions. 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, including,

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. These activities (sometimes known as

“teak surﬁng” or “platform dragging,” where the participant holds onto the swim platform and is

pulled through the water, and/or “body surfs” immediately behind the boat) are extremely danger-

ous, highly likely to result in death or serious bodily injury, and are a misuse of this product.

Ski/wakeboard rope should never be at-

tached to anything but approved pylons and

towers as it may otherwise break free or

cause other items to break under duress.

People onboard, as well as skiers and/or

wakeboarders could be injured. Also, operators and passengers should always pay attention

to the rope when the boat is underway as rope can snap back into the boat, which could result

in injury.

Stereo Equipment

All stereo equipment, whether standard or optional equipment, comes with ex-

tensive instruction material. Please refer to this material or to the manufacturer’s

website for details and guidance.

Swim/Boarding Platforms

One of the most attractive aspects of all MasterCraft boats are the swim plat-

forms attached to the transom of the boats. Whether teak or ﬁberglass with inlays,

the swim platforms are a source of enjoyment.

MasterCraft reminds consumers to review the Common Sense Approach section

of this Owner’s Manual, and pay particular attention to avoiding “teak surﬁng” or

“platform dragging,” which expose the participant to excess carbon monoxide; and to

the information regarding use of the optional shower while standing or sitting on the

swim platform.
