that your speed has reduced during normal operation, but you have not manually slowed the throttle, monitor your temperature gauge. If the gauge indicates excessive tem- peratures during operation, slow down immediately and turn off the engine. This indicates an engine problem that needs to be checked by the dealer!
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is above normal operating parameters may cause serious damage to your engine. Damage to your engine resulting from operating the engine in an overheated condition can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty!

Video Display Gauge
(Standard on MariStar 230, MariStar 280,
Many MasterCraft boats feature a color display gauge. The video display gauge is capable of display- ing engine, boat, and Perfect Pass speed control information.
NOTE: At press time for this Owners Manual, ad- ditional functionality was being added to the Video Display Gauge. All of the functions listed herein will be available. Additional items will be described by the brief manual provided by the manufacturer.
Information is divided into manageable pages or screens and organized into a straightforward menu structure for presenta- tion to the driver. Display controls, conveniently located along the bottom of the gauge, allow rapid navigation of the menu structure to display any desired information.
Display navigation is intuitive. Pressing the MENU button brings up a display of the available information organized and illustrated as file tabs with each tab representing a screen of
information. Repeatedly pressing the MENU button shuffles the tabs to bring a new tab to the top of the stack. Pressing the SELECT but- ton initiates the screen represented by the tab on the top of the stack.
The system anticipates the need to display information and auto- matically brings up certain screens when they are necessary. For example, the system automatically displays a related screen when it senses any of the following events:
•Adjusting the trim brings up the Trim screen
•Adjusting the ballast brings up the Ballast screen
•Pushing the Perfect Pass but- ton brings up the Perfect Pass screen
•Any alarm condition brings up a warning screen
Selecting the DEPTH tab goes to the screen illustrated follow- ing. This screen digitally displays depth, water temperature, air tem- perature, and illustrates the depth trend. The system also has a user adjustable depth alarm that can be adjusted from the SETUP tab.
Selecting the BALLAST tab goes to the screen illustrated below. It allows the driver to see the status of all the ballast tanks installed in the boat. This tab is a plug and play tab so uninstalled ballast tanks do not appear on the screen.
