being re-installed in the boat. Never store batteries close to heat, spark or flame-producing devices.

Step 3: Leave the engine box cover propped open about two inches (2”) to ventilate the engine compartment.

Other Winterization Preparations

Step 1: Remove the bilge drain plug immediately after taking the boat out of the water. After a general bow-to-stern washing, raise the bow of the boat higher than the stern to allow as much water as possible to drain from the bilge, while performing other storage preparations.

Step 2: Thoroughly clean the hull, deck and interior of the boat as soon as it is removed from the water. Cleaning at this time is easier because any marine growth is still wet. Be sure to allow a few days of air drying to prevent mildew that results from trapped moisture. (See the Cleaning section of this Manual.)

Step 3: Apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the boat. We suggest MasterCraft Premium Marine Wax for excellent coverage.

Step 4: If the boat is equipped with a heater, shower or ballast bags/tanks, be sure to disconnect the hoses and drain any remaining water in the lines to avoid freezing. Even small amounts of water in any of these areas can cause significant damage upon freezing and such damage is not covered under the warranty!

Note: Be sure that hoses will not become entangled in the engine V-belt when the engine turns over or the hose and/or the belt will be damaged.

Step 5: Use duct tape to seal the exhaust flaps to prevent dirt and nesting rodents from entering.

Step 6: On CSX 265 models equipped with the hot water heater, any water in the tank must be removed to avoid the risk of freezing and damage to the tank. The water pumped into the heater comes from a freshwater hold- ing 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 win- terized to avoid freezing that may cause damage to the boat, the holding tank or the water heater. The water is removed 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.

Step 7: On MariStar 280s and X-80s equipped with heads, clean the tanks with a mild cleaner or warm soapy water that will not harm the finish. Avoid all petroleum-based household cleaners. Store the head dry and clean. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary odors and damage to the tanks, and this is not covered under warranty.

On CSX 265 models equipped with heads, thoroughly flush the system with fresh water. Empty the holding tank and shut off the water supply to the head, remov- ing the inlet waterline. Do not remove the brass cap on the bottom of the valve. Press the flush lever until all water is drained from the system.

If using anti-freeze in this head, drain the potable water tank and add freshwater anti-freeze to the potable water tank. Flush the anti-freeze and water mixture through the head and into the waste holding tank. Then empty the holding tank. Never use automotive-type anti-freeze in this freshwater system.

Step 8: MasterCraft recommends the battery or batteries be removed from the boat for winter storage. Batteries should be fully charged before being stored ina cool, dry location, protected from the elements and fully re- charged before being re-installed in the boat.
