Step 3: If leakage is apparent, tighten the hose clamps, being careful to avoid crimping the hose. If the leakage is significant, or is occurring at a location other than the joints (such as a split in a hose), see your authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department for parts and service. This is important!Exhaust fumes can cause illness or impairment, including carbon monoxide poisoning. Equally important to consider, leakage can lead to a build-up of potentially explosive fumes within the engine compartment. DO NOT IGNORE OR OVERLOOK THIS INSPECTION! REPAIR AS NECESSARY!

Check That the Battery Is Fully Charged

As the boat is started, check all gauges, but pay particular atten- tion to the voltmeter.

While starting the engine, check that the voltmeter reads be- tween 12.4 and 14.5 volts. An erratic reading may be a sign of low voltage. The voltmeter is the best indication of the state of your battery. However, it is not fool-proof. While the reading may indicate that the battery is producing current, if during a previous operation you had reason to suspect a problem with your battery, check with an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department.

Current models are equipped with a low-voltage battery alarm. In the event that the stereo has been functioning when the boat engine is OFF, the voltage drain on the battery may result in difficulties re-starting the boat. To avoid this situation, when the voltage level falls to 11.5 volts, the system will shut off the stereo system and sound an alarm for a period of two (2) minutes to allow the operator time to turn the ignition key ON and start the engine. Doing so will allow the engine’s alternator to recharge the battery.

Charge dead batteries with a battery charger before attempt- ing to start the engine. (Some MasterCraft models offer an optional battery charger; but never jump-start the battery.)

Jump-starting from another boat or battery is dangerous! Charging a dead battery from an engine will put undue stress on the alternator, which may cause it to fail.

When charging, batteries generate small amounts of danger- ous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, flames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an explosion of the battery, which could cause death or serious injury.

Crossing cables or jumper cables may result in damage to the electrical components due to incorrect battery connections. Such damages may not be covered by your warranty.

After Each Use

General Cleaning and Storage

Refer to the Corrosion Prevention and Cleaning the Boat sec- tions of this Owner’s Manual. After each outing, the boat should receive a general cleaning and drying prior to being stored. Even if the boat is kept in a slip, owners/operators should wipe down the interior and should periodically remove the boat from the water for a general cleaning.
