Specifications

1. Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the handle/bridle
of the ski line, nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.
2. Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.
3. Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water
when the engine is running or "ON".
4. Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing hand signals and common
skiing courtesy.
5. Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the platform while in the water during
engine operation, including at idle. Carbon monoxide fumes are expelled from the
lower transom area of a boat and can cause serious illness or even death.
How do I check my MasterCraft boat's speedometer calibration?
For tournament use and practice, accurate speedometer readings are a must. To calibrate
the speedometer you need an accurately measured course of 850 feet and a certified stop-
watch accurate to a thousandth of a second. To calibrate to AWSA official-tournament
rules:
1. Approach the course at an indicated 36 miles perhour (MPH). Hold the speed steady
and have an observer check the course time with a stopwatch.
2. If the course time is between 15.88 and 16.28 seconds, no adjustment is necessary.
If the course time is not within tolerance, the adjustment switch is on the lower right
panel of the dash.
What should I do when I meet another boat on the water?
Any time two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way. It is
called the stand-on vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the give-
way or burdened vessel. The following rules determine which vessel has the right of way,
and accordingly, what each vessel should do: The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty
to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you
maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to
avoid you. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way has the duty to take positive and
timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, the give-way vessel
should not cross in front of the stand-on vessel. Slow down or change directions briefly and
pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the stand-on
operator can see what you are doing.
How do I dock and tie-up my MasterCraft boat?
Approach docks slowly, with the starboard side of the boat if possible. The natural
tendency to torque steer with the rotation of the propeller at slow speeds makes docking
easier on that side. Also, use wind and current to your advantage when docking. Before
tying-up the boat, be sure to use enough dock bumpers to protect the boat from damage. If
possible, tie-up with the bow toward the waves. Use good quality double-braided nylon
line. Tie-up only to the lifting or tie-down eyes. Never use the handrails or ski pylon. If the
