moving too far from the helm. The lanyard is equipped with a hook on one end for
attachment to your clothing or PFD, and the opposite end has a slide that fits over the
switch. Be sure that the slide is firmly attached to the switch before starting. The switch is
located near the throttle control box. If the slide is left off or loose, the engine will crank but
will not start. The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator whenever the
engine is started. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Can you please explain the bilge pump switches?
A three-position rocker switch activates the bilge pump. Push the top half of the switch to
turn the bilge pump to the manual ON position. Press the switch down to activate the bilge
pump for automatic mode while the boat is underway. When the switch is centered, the
bilge pump is OFF. The bilge pumps on all V-drive models will be in the automatic mode
when the ignition key is turned ON. On boat models equipped with a ballast system, a
three-position switch will allow for the filling or emptying of the ballast tanks and/or bags.
It is important to be aware that the engine must operate at 1500 RPM during the fill and
empty processes. Failure to do so can result in malfunction or permanent damage to the
ballast pumps that force the water through the system. This is not covered under warranty.
How do I operate the throttle? And can I shift the throttle when the boat is not
running?
A one-hand, single-lever control operates as both a gear shifter and a throttle. The lever
automatically locks in the neutral position (straight up and down) for safety. The lever can
be moved from neutral only by raising the lifter under the ball knob. Shifting is
accomplished by moving the lever into the first 45 degrees of travel. Moving the lever
forward engages the running gear; moving it back from center puts the drive train into
reverse. By advancing the lever beyond 45 degrees you move from the shifting range to the
throttle range. Never attempt to shift without the engine running! The shift mechanism of
this control can be temporarily disengaged by engaging in the black button in the side of
the throttle handle. This allows the engine to increase RPM in neutral during warm-up.
How do I operate the MasterCraft cruise control system?
On boats equipped with a Cruise Control System, it is possible to review various functions
by toggling to the cruise control read-outs on the multi-function gauge. Note also that the
throttle position must always be greater than the speed set on the cruise control. For
example, if the cruise was set at 35 mph but the throttle position is equivalent to 25 mph,
the boat will not reach 35. This is also true of the RPMs. Also, the cruise control cannot be
engaged when the boat is at idle speed. System Start-Up: When the ignition is turned on the
cruise control system starts in the OFF mode. While it is in OFF mode, the LCD display will
show the current time. RPM Set-Point Adjustment: In order to adjust the RPM Set Point in
OFF Mode, first move the RPM/SPEED mode selection switch to the RPM position. Using
the +/- switch, select the desired Set Point. The RPM icon will illuminate and the LCD will
display the current Set Point. Briefly pressing the +/- switch will increase or decrease the
Set Point by 20 RPM. Holding the switch will increase or decrease by 100 RPM. The RPM
Set Point is limited to a minimum of 1200 RPM and a maximum of 5000 RPM. Speed Set
