instrument gauges & switches

Proper control of MasterCraft boats extends beyond the steering wheel. Each boat is equipped with multiple gauges that provide information to guide the operator in maintaining control. There are also a variety of switches and but- tons within the boat that control various functions from comfort to watersports enhancement to safety-related features. It is important for the boat owner and/or operator to become familiar with all gauges and switches in the boat, the func- tionality of each, and how to respond to alarms and warnings that the instrument panel may provide.

In the Guide to Individual Models section of this Owner’s Manual is a listing of the locations of gauges and switches for the various model instrument panels.

Operators should match up these listings with the actual panel. Prior to boating, owners and operators should also review and understand the following section regarding the boat’s electrical components and operations through the battery or batteries, as well as the circuit breaker system. A thorough understanding of these systems is critical to avoiding potential issues that may arise during an outing.

The following is an explanation of the functionality of the gauges and switches that are listed for the various models.

12-Volt Receptacle

(All Models; Some May Have Multiple

Receptacles)

MasterCraft boats have one (1) or more

12-volt receptacles. Examine your boat to de- termine whether there are additional outlets. Prior to plugging any accessory into a 12-volt receptacle, ensure that the device is designed

for use when connected to a 12-volt receptacle and will not be dam- aged by the connection to the receptacle.

Accessory Switches

(All Models—Actual Switch Usage Will

Vary)

Instrument panels may be equipped with Accessory Switches. In some instances, the indicator may be labeled with the name of

the accessory, such as “Heater.” Accessory switches are two-posi- tion switches. Turning the switch upwards will turn a connected accessory ON, while turning it down will turn the accessory OFF.

Aft Light Switch

(Models Equipped with Optional Lights) Where equipped, an aft light switch allows the operator to turn on aft facing tower lights. The two-position switch is pressed up for ON and down for OFF.

AM/FM Stereo,

CD Player,

Remote Control,

iPod and MP3

Player Connections

(Stereo Standard Installa- tion on X-Series; Optional on All Other Models; Remote Control on Armrest, iPod and

MP3 Player Connections with Stereo Installation)

Boats may be equipped with a range of entertainment opportunities from radios and CD players to connections for personal devices. ALL radio and CD players will be located within the glovebox of the boat. Remotes may be in the armrest or on the transom.

The iPod interface option features a cable located inside the glovebox that allows the unit to simply be plugged in and run off the boat’s electrical system. An optional plug-in location for MP3 players is available. Be aware that all such devices are a drain on the boat’s battery and electrical system. Care should be taken to avoid excessive usage of such devices and by responding to any alarms that sound so that the boat’s battery(ies) does not become fully discharged.

Another option is a wireless stereo remote that will float if ac- cidentally dropped overboard. The remote can also double as a key fob for a limited number of keys.
