Owner`s manual

tower component.
Occupants of the boat should never stand, sit or jump from the tower. Nothing
but MasterCraft-approved towing should be attempted. (See Boating Safety section
of this Owners Manual.)
Boat owners are strongly urged to purchase tower accessories only through an
authorized MasterCraft dealer. MasterCraft has carefully determined the maxi-
mum amount of accessories and total weight that the tower can safely hold. Ignor-
ing this information could result in injury to the boat operator and/or passengers.
2011 Owners Manual...Comfort and Convenience...Page 6-11
MasterCraft has determined that for the
tower utilized on the current models, the
total weight of all accessories mounted on
the tower should never exceed 85 pounds,
regardless of whether the accessories are
MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have come from an aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this
restriction can result in tower failure, which could result in serious injury or death to the boat opera-
tor and/or passengers.
Video Screen
e CSX 265 offers a video screen that drops down from the T-Top option. See
the accompanying instructional information to determine how to use the unit. (See
image above.)
Water Heater
On the CSX 265 model, a four-gallon hot water heater is an option. Unlike the
shower option on other models, which draws heat from a running engine, the CSX
265 water heater functions as a hot water retention tank after the engine has run.
e shower is located in the head compartment and at the transom. Water is
drawn in by way of a pump that is turned on at the breaker panel in the head com-
partment. e heat is provided by running the port side engine for 15-to-20 min-
utes. After the water has been heated, however, the insulated tank will retain the
hot water for several hours. is allows the shower to be run without the engine
running, and if the engine is OFF, it is possible to shower while standing on the
swim platform. (See Common Sense Approach section for cautions regarding using
the shower with the engine running.)
e water pumped into the heater comes from a freshwater holding tank, and
it can be left in the water heater when the boat is not in use, EXCEPT during
extended periods of storage. As with any part of the boat in which there is water,
it must be removed at the time the boat is winterized to avoid freezing that may
cause damage to the boat, the holding tank or the water heater. e water is re-
moved by running the shower until all the water has come out or by disconnecting
the plumbing fittings in the forward service bay under the helm seats.
