comfort and convenience

MasterCraft offers significant standard and optional items to make the boating experience more enjoyable. Some of these items come with their own instructions and information from the original manufacturer. In those instances, such as with the stereo equipment, the manual is included with the boat. In other instances, some general information is provided in this section.

If, at any time, you are uncertain about the use or care of anything on the boat, never hesitate to contact your authorized MasterCraft dealer for additional information and guidance.

the anchor door and remove any pins or lines securing the an- chor in the bow roller. Remove the hand control from the under- side of the door. Stand clear of the anchor and chain. Press the ON button to enable the windlass. Press the DOWN button to lower the anchor.

The anchor, sometimes accompanied by a windlass, has been provided to assist boaters in remaining in a chosen location. Note that use of the anchor system will not guarantee a properly anchored boat or that the boat will remain in a stationary position. Environmental, bottom conditions, current and tidal conditions must be taken into consideration when anchoring the boat. Only properly trained operators should set the anchor for this system. Establishing a secure anchorage requires practice. Damage to your boat may result due to improper anchoring techniques.

To raise the anchor when accompanied by a windlass system, start the engines to provide sufficient power. Raise the anchor locker door. Remove the hand control from the underside of the door. Stand clear of the anchor and chain. Press the ON but- ton to enable the system, and press the UP button to raise the anchor. Properly stow the anchor and line.

Anchor and Windlass

Some models are equipped with anchors, and there will be a des- ignated storage area or stowage location on the boat. Check with your dealer if you are uncertain about this area as it is important to keep the anchor stowed when it is not in use. In some models, the anchor is used in concert with a windlass, or guide, particu- larly in instances where the boat is expected to be used in deeper water. The windlass will help avoid or reduce the likelihood of a tangled anchor line.

Improperly stored anchors and/or anchor line that has been improperly re-wound through the windlass system, may create a hazardous situation. People on-board can trip on improperly stored materials, which can result in injury. Improperly stored ma- terials can also move too freely during boat operation and make contact with individuals, again causing injury. Properly store all anchor and lines whether the boat is in operation or not, unless the anchor and line are in use.

To lower the anchor when accompanied by a windlass system, leave the engine(s) running to provide sufficient power. Raise

Battery Charger

As a convenience, a battery charger is offered as an option. The charger is designed to recharge the batteries and also to extend the battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long peri- ods of time. These are three-stage electronic chargers, complete- ly automatic, lightweight, and silent. Unlike most automotive chargers, this charger will not boil off the electrolytes in properly installed and maintained batteries. The red and green LED
