Quarterly

(Every Fifty [50] Hours)

MasterCraft recommends that your quarterly—or fifty (50) hour—maintenance requirements be performed by an autho- rized MasterCraft dealer. The staff there has the proper equip- ment and technical training to best meet your service needs.

Lubricate the Engine Starter Gear and Shaft

Some engine parts become very hot during operation. This main- tenance must be completed while the engine is cool to prevent burns to your skin. Perform this task before starting the boat.

Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch is disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. The engine must be cool.

Step 2: Disconnect the positive (+) battery terminal.

Step 3: Open the engine cover and locate the starter on the lower starboard side of the engine.

Step 4: Disconnect the starter and carefully remove it.

Step 5: Lubricate the starter bendix with a light coating of waterproof grease or white lithium grease.

Step 6: Return the starter to the engine and reconnect. After closing the engine compartment, reconnect the positive

(+) battery terminal.

Annually

(Every One Hundred

[100] Hours)

MasterCraft recommends that your annual—or one hundred

(100)hour—maintenance requirements be performed by an authorized MasterCraft dealer. The staff there has the proper equipment and technical training to best meet your service needs.

Annual Maintenance

Some boat owners choose to personally execute some main- tenance procedures on their boats. MasterCraft has provided information on several procedures. For safety reasons, a few must be performed by authorized MasterCraft service techni- cians only, such as anything involving checks and repairs on the fuel line, which is under pressure.

These matters must be addressed on a regular basis, at one hun- dred (100) hours or annually, whichever comes first, and these procedures are in addition to seasonal preparation and winter- ization (see Storage and Winterization section for additional details). All of these issues are extremely important to continued boating pleasure, as well as long life for the boat, and the critical matter of safety.

Even if the annual maintenance work is completed by an authorized MasterCraft service technician, boat owners and operators should still review this section and ensure that they have some understanding of what is necessary to keep the boat in top condition.
