Some engine parts become very hot during operation. This inspection 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 disconnect the engine safety starting switch. Be sure that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. The engine must be cool.

Step 2: Open the engine box and locate the four (4) motor mounts.

Step 3: Check the tightness of the mounting hardware and adjustment lock-nuts. Tighten any loose hardware securely.

Check the Propeller Shaft

Coupling Alignment

Later-model MasterCraft boats are equipped with a dripless propeller shaft log. If it is showing signs of drips, it must be cor- rected by an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service technician.

Inspect the Exhaust Flaps for Damage

Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and disconnect the engine safety starting switch. Be sure that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral.

Step 2: Inspect the exhaust flap hinge for signs of deteriora- tion. Replace the flap if necessary.

Lubricate the Steering System

Because this process should be completed while all movable com- ponents of the drive train are NOT in motion, MasterCraft recom- mends this be done while the boat is out of the water.

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

Step 2: Remove the access panel in the rear trunk compart- ment in direct drive boats. In V-drive engines the steer- ing is located in the engine compartment, beneath the engine.

Step 3: Turn the steering wheel so that the maximum amount of steering cable is seen.

Step 4: Use solvent to clean old lubricant from the cable end, pivot and rudder shaft.

Step 5: Spread a generous amount of white lithium grease over the cable end. Work the steering wheel back and forth and re-apply grease if necessary.

Step 6: Using the flexible end of a grease gun, give two (2) full shots of white lithium grease to the two (2) grease fittings: one on the rudder shaft, and one on the pivot. Clean up any old grease purged from the areas.

Step 7: Rotate the steering wheel back and forth several times to work the lubricant in.

Step 8: Re-install the access panel.
