Welcome Aboard! Congratulations on your boating choice! MasterCraft is the recognized world leader for inboard boats today and has been for forty-five (45) years. The quality, innovation, selection and value of MasterCraft boats are unmatched in the industry. Please take a few minutes to read this Owner’s Manual completely in addition to carefully reviewing any additional information provided in the accompanying packet.
Throughout this manual the terms “Danger,” “Warning,” and “Caution” appear, alerting the boat owner and/or operator to dangerous or potentially dangerous situations that may arise. Those terms have the following respective meanings whenever they appear herein: This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Failure to comply with safety-related information and instructions may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others. Always use common sense when operating the boat or participating in any activities associated with the boat, including, but not limited to, periods of time when the boat engine is shut down and the boat is not in operation.
exhaust vent areas, which are located at the stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limitation, the swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in operation. Under no circumstances should the owner and/or operator allow persons to hold onto the swim platform while the engine is operating and the boat is in motion.
When boats are in motion, operators and passengers should always be seated on upholstered designated occupant seating. No other areas should be used during operation, including, but not limited to, the gunwales, towers, sun pads, engine boxes, or any area that is not clearly intended for seating while the boat is underway. People can become dislodged from locations that are not actual seating, which could result in falls in the boat or overboard, resulting in serious injury or death.
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. (Page 3-22) The platform must be raised and locked into position for use of the platform while boating. No one should be allowed on the platform until the platform is securely locked in place and the engine is OFF.
amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service department. Note that damage to your engine from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty. (Page 3-9) While operating attitude adjustment plates use caution. Improper use of plates can cause accidents, which may result in serious injury or death.
damage to the boat transom during transport that will not be covered by the warranty! (Page 3-18) Engines should always be operated within engine manufacturer guidelines. Failure to do so may cause significant damage to the engine and drive train and is not covered under warranty! (Page 4-15) 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.

Safety Knowledge
Prior to operation, be certain that all passengers are aware of where the safety equipment is stowed, the location of emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers and how this equipment is used. In case of potential emergencies, be sure that at least one other person on-board understands how to operate the boat. Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your boat.
General Precautions Be certain that all operators of your boat are aware of the safety information within this Owner’s Manual and that they use it to conform to boat safety principles. Boating safety starts with a thorough understanding of boat operations. In addition to careful review of this Owner’s Manual, you should also be aware that many sources of helpful information are available. MasterCraft urges you to pursue additional training prior to the independent operation of your boat.
Safety Equipment Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be on-board your boat at all times. Responsible boaters carry additional equipment in case of emergency. It is your responsibility to check with the local boating authorities for any additional requirements and/or equipment over and above the federal requirements.
Fire extinguishers require periodic maintenance. Monthly, each fire extinguisher on your boat should be examined to be sure that the seals and tamper indicators are not broken or missing. The pressure gauges or indicators, if applicable, should read in the operable range. There should be no obvious physical damage, rust, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzles.
Fire Suppression and Extinguishing (ProStar 190, ProStar 197, and ProStar 214 direct drive ) These models are specified for two (2) fire extinguishers, both to be held in the void beneath the observer’s seat. One unit is a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammonium phosphate expellant (dry chemical) unit, which shall be rated Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (UL Approved) and Class C (energized electrical equipment). These units should be used in fighting all on-board fires other than engine compartment fires.
Capsizing In addition to fire, a boater’s greatest concern may be with the possibility of capsizing (or overturning) the boat. A number of factors can occur that will result in a boat overturning (high waves, excessive wakes, bad weather, etc.) or sinking as a result of damage such as striking an underwater object or another boat. In the event of such an occurrence, try to turn the engine OFF. Attempt to locate any other people who were on-board and determine whether they are injured.
PFD Accessibility • Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible in the boat. • It should be possible to put on the PFDs within a reasonable amount of time in case of emergency. • PFDs should never be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them. • The U.S. Coast Guard, as well as MasterCraft, recommends the wearing of PFDs at all times when the vessel is underway, even though it is not a requirement.
tight container painted red or orange and prominently marked “Distress Signals” or “Flares” is recommended. U.S.C.G.-approved pyrotechnic visual distress signals and associated devices include pyrotechnic red flares, hand-held or aerial; pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand-held or floating, or launchers for aerial red meteors or parachute flares. Non-pyrotechnic devices may be allowed. These include an orange distress flag (day signal only) or an electric distress light (which is acceptable for night use).
Operator’s License Some states are implementing operator’s license requirements. These requirements vary widely. Many states now have restrictions regarding age. If you are operating in a location where minors are allowed to operate the boat, careful supervision by an adult should be the rule of thumb always. Whether operating a boat locally or in a remote location, operators should verify with state and local authorities regarding whether a license or training is required.
Failure to comply with safety-related information and instructions may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others. Always use common sense when operating the boat or participating in any activities associated with the boat, including, but not limited to, periods of time when the boat engine is shut down and the boat is not in operation. • • • Improper operation of the boat is extremely dangerous! Operators must read and understand all operating manuals supplied with the boat, before operation.
U.S. Coast Guard data shows that in boating deaths involving alcohol use, over half the victims capsized their boats and/or fell overboard. Alcohol is even more hazardous on the water than on land. The marine environment of motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray accelerate a drinker’s impairment. These stressors cause fatigue that makes a boat operator’s coordination, judgment and reaction time decline even faster when using alcohol.
PROPELLER(S) MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Shut off the engine(s) when near persons in the water, prior to using sunpads, swim platform or boarding ladder. • • • • Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line, nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time. Never ski or wakeboard at night. Never ski or wakeboard directly in front of other boats.
• • (opposite the wind) and turn OFF the engine prior to reaching them. Propellers and engine exhaust are only part of the potential problem for someone in the water. Be aware that propellers may continue to turn for a period of time after the engine is shut OFF, and the edges are often sharp enough to easily cut skin or break bones. Ski and wakeboard only in acceptable areas. Avoid restricted areas. The above mandates are not all-inclusive.
open waters. These charts show the nature and shape of the coast, depths of water, general configuration and character of the bottom. Other markings on the nautical charts include prominent landmarks, port facilities, aids to navigation, and marine hazards. Changes brought about by people and nature require that nautical charts be constantly maintained and updated to aid safe navigation.
• • • If the engine fails, tie a sea anchor on a line from the boat to keep the boat headed into the waves. A bucket will work as a sea anchor in an emergency. Anchor the boat, if necessary. Seek shelter on-shore whenever possible. Particularly avoid riding out a storm that includes high wind and/or lightning, which is especially dangerous. Avoid contact with metal portions of the boat such as handrails, windshields, tower and cleats.
Anchoring Anchoring is done for two principal reasons: first, to stop for fishing, swimming, lunch or an overnight stay, and secondly, to keep a boat from running aground in bad weather or as a result of engine failure. When preparing to anchor, bring the bow of the vessel into the wind or current. Place the engine in neutral. When the boat comes to a stop, slowly lower the anchor. Do not throw the anchor over as it will tend to foul the anchor or tangle line.
using something other than the 406 MHz EPIRB, be sure to understand the capabilities and limitations. Further information and a complete listing of VHF channels and frequencies is available at: www.navcen.uscg.gov.
Speeding and Noise Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits for operation of boats, including but not limited to no-wake zones. Noise regulations may also be imposed. It is the responsibility of the boat operator to be familiar with any and all laws and regulations and to obey them. The U.S. Coast Guard is an excellent source for this information, including penalties for failure to observe the requirements. Radios-Telephones Improper use of a radio-telephone is a criminal offense.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) When anchoring the boat, you MUST turn OFF the engine. In most models, exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide are emitted from the exhaust flap area of the transom immediately below the swim platform. No one should ever be on the swim platform or transom while the engine is operating. This includes while using the shower option in those models where the engine must run in order to create hot water.
certain health-related problems, and age will increase the effects of CO. Persons who smoke or are exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke, consume alcohol, or have lung disorders or heart problems are particularly susceptible to an increase in the effects of CO. However, anyone can be affected. Another factor to consider is that physical exertion accelerates the rate at which the blood absorbs CO.
Where CO May Accumulate • • • • • • Carbon monoxide can accumulate anywhere in or around your boat. This includes: inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures. exhaust gas trapped in enclosed places. blocked exhaust outlets. another vessel’s exhaust. CO from the boat docked next to you can be just as deadly as that emitted from your own boat. back drafting from your own boat’s exhaust. at slow speeds, while idling or stopped.
Overloading a boat may cause it to become unstable and may potentially result in the boat’s flotation system becoming overwhelmed. Too much weight can sink any boat! Within this Manual and on a label mounted in each boat is the Maximum Capacity for that specific model. Bear in mind that maximum limits include additional water ballast bags and water put in them, gear brought onto the boat, additional options and all people. Maximum people is limited to the number of designated occupant seating positions.
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) MasterCraft strongly encourages individuals to wear Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs). In many states, it is a legal requirement for children to wear them at all times while on board. Non-swimmers and swimmers of limited ability of any age should never be without a PFD while on a boat. Insurance Even if someone else is operating the boat, the owner is generally held liable for any damages or injuries that occur.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect that could result in damage to the boat or that may cause illness, injury or even death to boaters. The operator, owner and/or all persons on board are responsible for using common sense and a careful thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken to keep boating enjoyable for many years to come. A MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless hours of family fun, as well as building friendships.
Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that apply when you are driving a boat on the water. These rules are used internationally, and they are enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water. In various geographic locations, certain rules prevail that may be unique to the locale.
Meeting If you are meeting another vessel head-on, and you are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. (This rule doesn’t apply if both of you can clear each other by continuing your set course and speed.
Sailing Vessel Right-of-Way Sailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are: • When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has the right-of-way. • Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel. • In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a channel.
The following are the markings under the Uniform State Waterway Marker System: Green or Black Channel Marker Buoy: Traveling upstream, you should pass to the right of the buoy as it marks the left side of the channel. Red Channel Marker Buoy: Traveling upstream, you should pass to the left of this buoy as it marks the right side of the channel. Junction Buoy (Green over red): Means two channels are coming together and you should pass to the right of the buoy as you travel upstream.
Guide to Individual Models Overloading a boat may cause it to become unstable and may potentially result in the boat’s flotation system becoming overwhelmed. Too much weight can sink any boat! Within this Manual and on a label mounted in each boat is the weight and maximum occupant limit for that specific model. Bear in mind that total weight limits include additional water ballast, gear brought onto the boat, additional options and all people.

Electronic Instrumentation
Controls Common to Most Models Introduction 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 buttons within the boat that control various functions from comfort to watersports enhancement to safety-related features.
Manual and Automatic Bilge Pump Switch (All Models) The bilge pumps on all V-drive models will be in the automatic mode when the ignition key is turned ON. Some models may have two (2) switches, one for the forward bilge and one for the aft. In these instances, the switches will be marked. The manual and automatic bilge discharge system is never completely off. When in the automatic (default) position, a sensor alerts the system to discharge water from the bilge area.
Circuit Breakers (All Models) All major boat circuits are protected from shorting and overload by re-settable circuit breakers. If a problem develops with one of the following circuits, switch OFF the circuit and wait for approximately one (1) minute. Then fully push the appropriate breaker button and switch ON the circuit. If the circuit continues to trip, there is a problem somewhere that must be attended to immediately. See your authorized MasterCraft service department to resolve this matter.
The lanyard is equipped with a hook on one end that should be attached to your clothing or PFD, and the opposite end has a slide that fits over the ignition switch. Be sure that the slide is firmly attached to the ignition switch before starting. The ignition switch is located near the throttle control box, the armrest or on the instrument panel. If the slide is left off or is loose, the engine will crank but will not start.
This button only affects the engine. The electrical system will continue to operate as long as the key is turned. If the key is left turned on after the outing, it will eventually run down the battery(ies) and the engine and all systems will not start as a result. • At the conclusion of the outing, turn the key off and remove from the key slot. Doing so will ensure that you have turned OFF the electrical system, and prevent others from starting or running the boat.
Battery Charger (Where Equipped) 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 periods of time. These are three-stage electronic chargers, completely automatic, lightweight, and silent. Unlike most automotive chargers, this charger will not boil off the electrolytes in properly installed and maintained batteries.
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is low. If you do, the engine may become so hot that it, or surrounding components, could catch fire. You or others could be burned and the boat seriously damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service department. Note that damage to your engine from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to repair.
Other Alarms (All Models) Sensors check the oil pressure, engine and transmission temperatures. If the system detects readings outside the acceptable range, the system shuts off the stereo and sounds the alarm for a period of one (1) minute. This signals the need to return to shore as soon as possible and seek assistance from your authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department to diagnose and, if necessary, repair the problem.
• Approach the course at 36 miles per hour (MPH) as indicated on the speedometer. Hold the speed steady and have an observer check the course time with a stopwatch. • If the course time is between 15.88 and 16.28 seconds, no adjustments are necessary. • If the course time is not within that tolerance range, press up or down on the calibration rocker switch to adjust the speedometer’s speed interpretation. Tachometer (All Models) On some boats, a separate tachometer gauge is found.
Video Display Gauge On most MasterCraft boats considerable information about functionality is shown in a video display gauge. A separate short manual can walk you through the intuitive steps required to review a substantial amount of information. On the ProStar 190 and 197 models, four different potential screens appearing on the bottom of the tachometer gauge provide operational information. These screens are: Fuel Consumption: An approximate percentage of the fuel appears along side the channel number.
Sport Enhancement Controls Attitude Adjustment or Trim Tab Switch (All X-Series) MasterCraft utilizes Lenco attitude adjustment plate kits on several models. A single plate kit is used on the X2, X25, X30, X35, X45, and X55. If used properly, the plate improves the ride, reduces drag, increases speed and improves the fuel efficiency of the boat. The operation of the attitude adjustment plates is basic. The plane or planes are mounted with the actuator(s) on the transom of the boat.
the stern of the boat and will keep the bow down. As you throttle up and speed increases, raise the tab(s) by pressing BOW UP on both sides of a dual system, and BOW UP on the single system. Uneven Load: When equipped with a dual system, if one side of the boat is higher than the other while running, press BOW DOWN on the switch on that side. This will lower the tab on the listing side (low side) to bring the boat level.
Plug ’n Play The Plug ’n Play ballast system gives consumers the ability to mix and match ballast loads as an option on X-Star boats. If ordered as an option, the plumbing for the Plug ’n Play will come from the factory ready to install bags forward and aft. MasterCraft strongly recommends using only the Plug ’n Play bags from Fly High as they have been customized to fit neatly in storage areas.
2. Once the bags are installed, you are ready to go. In order to fill the ballast bags, after the hard tanks are filled, find the Plug ’n Play switches and simply move the switch to the right so the indicator light turns from green light (tanks) to a red light (bags). This activates the electronic valve that switches water flow from the hard tanks to the bags. Once red, the bags are ready to fill by selecting the appropriate ballast switch.
operators to be aware of how it impacts handling. Maneuvering a boat with the surf tabs extended requires practice to master. Initial times running with the surf tabs extended should be done at low speed with plenty of room. This is critical to learning how the surf tabs affect control and maneuverability. Electromechanical actuators provide an instant response. When making adjustments, use short momentary taps of the switch.
Folding Down the Platform Remove the safety hinge pins in each swim platform bracket. Begin by lifting the platform about four (4) inches upward while easing the platform away from the boat transom. This will allow the platform to move freely on the hinge. NOTE: Ensure there is no tightness while the swim platform is being folded. There should be no binding during this action. The platform must be raised and locked into position for transportation of the boat, as well as use of the platform while boating.
Clockwise from left: ZFT0 tower; ZFT5 tower; and the ZFT5P tower. The ZFT0 tower (left) is an upright tower. The ZFT4 tower (right)can be manually raised or lowered (for storage or ease of towing over the road.) Note the arrows on the photo. The locking mechanisms located on each side of the tower are removed to allow the tower to raise or lower. Always reinstall the locking mechanism on both sides of the ZFT4 tower immediately after raising or lowering the tower.
Convenience Controls 12-Volt Receptacle (All Models; Some May Have Multiple Receptacles) MasterCraft boats have one (1) or more 12-volt receptacles. Examine your boat to determine 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 damaged by the connection to the receptacle.
Display Selector Switch (ProStar 190, ProStar 197) On the models equipped with multi-function in the Tachometer gauge, this switch allows the operator to toggle between functions. Heater Switch (Optional Installation for All Models) Among the accessory options available for your boat is a heater function. The heater’s three-position switch is turned up for ON (LOW), or turned down for ON (HIGH). The center position is OFF.
Also note that the underwater lights should never be operated unless the boat is in the water. Even though these are L.E.D. lights, they generate some heat and require the cooling effect of the water to avoid premature burn-out of the bulb. Wash Down Switch (Optional installation for X Series) A water tank option within available models can provide a fresh-water wash of the boat interior. The tank will be eight (8) or twenty-five (25) gallons capacity, depending on the boat model.
Canvas Covers One of the most popular options for MasterCraft boats are the variety of canvas covers available. Speak with an authorized MasterCraft dealer for details about what is available for each model. MasterCraft strongly recommends having an authorized MasterCraft dealer perform the installation as snap installation can cause “crazing” (unwanted spider-web-like lines in the gel coat) if the installation is not done correctly.
Fire Suppression and Extinguishing See also the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual. All MasterCraft X-Series are equipped with an automatic fire suppression system. The automatic system operates from sensors in the engine room and will automatically release a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that does not leave residue behind. In boats sold domestically, this is the FE-241 system; internationally, it is the FM-200 system. It is also possible to activate the system manually on the FE-241 system only.
Step 2: Remove the water cap and fill the upper tank until it reaches about 1 inch (25 mm) below the opening. Replace the cap. Step 3: Pull the flush handle to open slide valve. Step 4: Pour deodorant directly into the lower tank, then close the slide valve. Do NOT pour deodorant into the bowl with the slide valve closed. Step 5: Stroke the air pump about 15 times or until air emits through the relief valve on the water cap. Do not overpressurize the upper tank by covering the relief valve.
Heater All MasterCraft models offer a heater option. The heater’s threeposition switch is turned up for ON (LOW), or turned down for ON (HIGH). The center position is OFF. Warmed air from an electrically powered heater box will be blown from vents within the boat deck. In regular use, the heater should not require any routine maintenance. However, it is advisable to avoid placing items in front of the vents, particularly when the heater is in use. The heated air coming out could cause damage.
Food items or anything that can create an odor should not be left in the refrigerator or cold plate areas. Neither should anything that can leak be left in these units as they could potentially damage the units, and this type of damage is not covered under warranty. The condenser on the refrigerator should be kept free of dust, dirt and anything that inhibits its proper operation. The manufacturer also recommends leaving the drawer slightly open if it will not be used for a period of time.
the seat back offers no security to persons seated at the back of the boat and they could slide off and into the water, with the possibility of making contact with the transom or swim platform, which could result in injury. Also, while the seat back is positioned to allow aft seating, individuals may be exposed to carbon monoxide if the engine is running. Optional jump seats also have latches to hold them in place.
Shower or Wash Down Many models offer a shower or wash down option. The switches are marked for each and may also include the underwater lights, where equipped. The switches are operated as ON-OFF and should always be left in the OFF position when the system(s) is not in use. The instructions work whether the boat is equipped with one (1) or both of the options, but will not be found in boats that are not equipped with either option.
Stereo Equipment All stereo equipment, whether standard or optional equipment, comes with extensive instruction material. Please refer to this material or to the manufacturer’s website for details and guidance. Tables If the cockpit table option was selected for the applicable models, the table can be removed and stored. In doing so, ensure that the table and leg are secure in a storage compartment. If they are left out on the deck of the boat, they may shift or move and cause injury.
Preparation
MasterCraft boats are equipped with a highly innovative fuel system. This system is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Some of the latest innovations related to fuel handling safety are also incorporated into the fuel delivery system. The fuel pump system in your boat was specifically designed for the marine environment and contains a number of added safety components that are unique to the marine environment. Because of the special nature of the design, there are no user-serviceable parts.
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is present or gasoline is visually observed in the bilge area during inspection, DO NOT START YOUR ENGINE! Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch and call an authorized MasterCraft dealer for service. Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of a tank full may affect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in damage to the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
The following checks and services are essential to safe boating and must be performed. Get in the habit of performing these checks in the same order each outing so that it becomes routine. DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found during the Safety Check. A problem could lead to an accident during the outing, resulting in death or serious injury. Any and all problems should receive attention immediately. See your authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department for assistance.
During Operation • Check gauges frequently for operating conditions. • Pay attention that controls operate smoothly. • Note any excessive vibration. After Operation • Check for fluid leaks. • In boats equipped with a ballast system, drain water from the ballast system before placing the boat on the trailer.
The first fifty (50) hours of operation are the most important for the boat. Proper break-in will ensure maximum performance and the longest possible power-train life. The break-in period allows moving parts within the engine and transmission to wear-in properly. All MasterCraft boats are lake-tested on the water before leaving the factory, but the break-in must continue for the first fifty (50) hours of your ownership.
• Pay close attention to the gauges. It is important to stop the engine immediately if the gauges indicate a problem. Low oil pressure and overheating are serious issues and require immediate attention. • Abnormal vibration or noises. These symptoms can precede trouble and should not be ignored. Occasionally, hardware may work loose, mountings may need to be tightened or the driveline may require attention. • Fuel, oil or water leaks. Leaks can pose a serious safety threat.
NOTE: If you are operating this boat for the first time, you must follow the engine and drive train break-in procedures as described in the previous section and the engine manual. Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious damage and may void any warranties! Before Starting Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators used on this MasterCraft boat. Perform all Safety Checks and Services as described earlier. Also perform all Scheduled Maintenance Checks and Services.
• ON (engine is running) • Start (turn the key to engage the engine starter, then release to allow the key to automatically return to the ON position) Never leave the ignition switch in the ON position without the engine running, as this will cause the battery to discharge. All other models will have a removable ignition key. Its purpose is for safety and security. The key should be inserted prior to starting an outing, and removed at the conclusion.
Underway If the oil pressure gauge indicates low or no oil pressure, immediately stop the boat as outlined below and check the oil level. If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, stop the boat when it is safe to do so as outlined below and check the raw water system for blockage. DO NOT operate the boat until the cause for the warning has been found and corrected. Continued operation after the warning light has illuminated may cause severe engine damage. This will void your warranty.
2013 MasterCraft Owners Manual • Preparation • Page 4-12
MasterCraft urges all who will be operating the boat to seek certified instruction from the local boating authorities. This section is designed to present the most basic operational principles. It is NOT intended to cover all conditions encountered during operation.
Courtesy Always respect the rights of others on the water. Keep wide when passing, slow down in crowded areas, be alert and be aware of your wake and wash. First Time Operation When taking to the water for the first time, you must keep in mind a few general guidelines: • Practice makes perfect! Start in calm water with no wind or current and plenty of room until you get the feel for the boat and its controls. • Proceed slowly! Give yourself time to think, react and maneuver.
High Speed Operation MasterCraft boats are designed to be high-performance boats. Professional drivers with advanced operating skills perform high-speed maneuvers and turns on-a-dime. DO NOT attempt to duplicate or simulate these feats. Paid, professional drivers log thousands of hours on the water and carefully choreograph every move. Plans are made in advance in the event the routine must be aborted.
Elevation and weather also have a very noticeable effect on the wide-open-throttle power of an engine. Since oxygen gets thinner as elevation increases, the engine begins to starve for air. Humidity, barometric pressure and temperature have a noticeable effect on the density of air since heat and humidity thin the air.
Care and Maintenance
When the boat is hoisted from the water, proper use of the stern eyes or a sling system is required for all MasterCraft models. Though stern eyes are designed to lift a boat from the water, care must be taken to ensure you do not damage your boat. A spreader bar used at the stern, will help ensure that the load at the stern eyes is vertical.
Storage Cradle If a storage cradle is used, the hull must be properly supported to prevent load damage. This can occur with as little as fifteen (15) pounds per square inch of pressure. DO NOT support the boat by resting the hull on the keel (the central fore-and-aft structural member in the bottom of the boat’s hull, extending from the bow to the stern).
NOTE: DAMAGE DUE TO CORROSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! Galvanic Corrosion Galvanic corrosion (electrolysis) to the boat is the decomposition of metal due to the effects of electrolytic action. When two (2) dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive fluid (e.g., salt water), an electric current is produced, much like the action of a battery. As the current flows, it takes with it tiny bits of the softer metal. If left unchecked, severe damage may occur over time.
Be sure all fasteners used are approved and rated for marine use. Most fasteners used on MasterCraft boats are stainless steel or specially coated to resist corrosion. Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such failure may result in death or serious injury! Stainless Steel and Chrome/Anodized Aluminum Stainless steel, chrome-plated and anodized aluminum parts are not totally resistant to corrosion.
Periodic cleaning is the best way to keep your boat looking like new. Regular washing and waxing keep dirt and build-up from deteriorating the finish. If you keep your boat in showroom-new condition, then your personal satisfaction will be higher and the resale value of your boat will be greater. The boat is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic resin material that is easy to clean and care for. Several layers of resin material are chemically bonded together to form the hull.
Carpet Occasionally washing with mild detergent and warm water or household carpet cleaners will help keep the carpet clean. Thoroughly hose the detergent out of the carpet and into the bilge. (This is a good time to clean the bilge also.) Allow the boat to remain uncovered to air dry for several days to prevent any mildew or odor caused by moisture. Cleaning the Boat Teak Wood Full teak platforms: If shoes are worn when walking on the teak, they should be proper boating shoes.
AquaTrac platforms: AquaTrac should be handled only with clean hands. Oil, grease or dirt may leave permanent imprints on the surface. Whenever possible, keep the platform covered when the boat is not in use. It should be stored dry. Spills: Scoop or scrape up as much of the spill as possible, followed by a thorough blotting of the remaining spotting with a dry, clean cloth. If cloth is not available, paper towels are an acceptable substitute.
If stains still appear, the surface may be restored by lightly sanding the area with 2436 grit sandpaper. The sanded area will probably appear slightly lighter than the rest of the platform but should blend into the overall color in time. Fiberglass Swim Platform The fiberglass swim platform requires the same kind of regular—and gentle—cleaning that the rest of the boat needs. After cleaning off any environmental debris, wash with mild soap and warm water.
Canvas Covers The material used in constructing Bimini tops and boat covers is made from 100 percent solution-dyed polyester fiber with a urethane coating to provide excellent water repellency and mildew resistance. This design allows the material to be easily maintained. By following a few simple care and cleaning steps, the fabric will continue to look good and maintain its fine qualities for seasons to come. Important Background Information Because the fabrics are woven, they are breathable.
chlorine bleach will not change the color of the fabric, but chlorine bleach will eventually break down the fiber of any fabric. Therefore, this cleaning method should be used as infrequently as possible. The cleaning mixture should be mixed as follows: • Four ounces (one-half cup) of chlorine bleach. • Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of natural soap. • One gallon of water. Clean with a soft-bristle brush and allow the mixture to soak no longer than twenty (20) minutes.
Upholstery While the vinyl is made to withstand the elements, it is important to care for vinyl by keeping it clean at all times. Many substances may stain the vinyl if left untreated over a period of time. Remember to remove any contaminant and clean vinyl immediately. Regular washing with mild detergent (see attached information) and warm water or vinyl cleaners is sufficient to keep the cushion and vinyl coverings in good condition.

MasterCraft Spray Wax MasterCraft Spray Wax is a simple way to give your marine craft that showroom shine while gaining the important UV protection that helps to prevent damage from the sun.
Frequency and Scheduled Maintenance Proper care, maintenance and adjustment will contribute to the peak performance of the MasterCraft boat, while also extending the overall service life and the resale value. The pages that follow provide instructions on how to accomplish the required checks, inspections and services listed. An authorized MasterCraft service department is the best source for proper maintenance.
• Check the cooling system level (fresh water cooling-equipped boats only). See the engine owner’s manual for details. • Inspect the battery connections and hold-downs. • Inspect the drive train for loose or missing hardware. • Inspect the throttle and shift cables for kinks, wear and interference with other components. • Inspect the propeller shaft log for excessive water entry. • Inspect the fuel system lines and connections for leaks. • Check for water leaks or excessive exhaust odor.
Before Each Use (Prior to Starting the Engine) Review the Safety Checks and Services section of this Owner’s Manual. There are important functions that must be followed before, during and after every outing, without fail! The Safety Checks and Services notes that all drain plugs must be reinstalled prior to operating the boat! Inspect Seacock Strainer Because a clogged seacock strainer puts undue strain on the engine(s), the strainer should be checked prior to starting the boat.
• Clean corrosion from the battery posts with a battery terminal cleaner. • Clean the battery with a waterand-baking-soda solution. Use care to avoid allowing the solution to enter the battery vents. Rinse the battery with fresh water. Battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and caustic.
If a replacement battery is required, be certain to select a marine battery with at least seven-hundred-fifty (750) cold-cranking-amps at zero degrees (0o) Fahrenheit. Before disconnecting the battery, make sure the ignition key and all accessories are in the OFF position. Also remember to re-attach the cables in the proper order, with the positive cable connected to the positive [+] post and the negative cable connected to the negative [-] post.
limited area. If the odor of gasoline is strong or if you see visual evidence of fuel outside the system, cease all operations and take the boat immediately to an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department to determine the source of the leak. The leak must be repaired before the engine is restarted. Because the lines on late model MasterCraft boats are pressurized, they can be disconnected and/or removed ONLY by using specialized tools. The engine box serves as a machinery guard.
stereo has been functioning when the boat engine is OFF, the voltage drain on the battery may result in difficulties restarting the boat. To avoid this situation, when the voltage level falls to 10.5 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.
After Each Use General Cleaning and Storage Refer to the Corrosion Prevention and Cleaning the Boat sections 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.
Check the Engine Mounts 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.
V-drive engines the steering 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.
for the reinstallation process. Swing the cover out of the way to allow access to the impeller location. Step 2: Using needle-nose pliers, pull the old impeller out of the casing. Step 3: Install a new impeller. (It is intentionally larger than the case. While gently squeezing it in, ensure that the paddle wheels angle in the same direction— counterclockwise—all the way around.) Step 4: Slide the plate back into place. No silicone is necessary.
(“ABYC”) standards, and must be Underwriter’s Laboratory (“UL”)approved. Inferior quality components pose a serious safety threat to you and others, and the use of inferior components may result in serious injury or death. Resulting damage may void the warranty. Some MasterCraft models are equipped with a fuel fill cap such as shown in this section. These caps are hinged, and they snap open or closed to seal with an audible click. This is important for the system on these boat to operate correctly.
Storage or winter lay-up requires special preparation to prevent damage to the boat. Since winter storage is an annual event, it presents an excellent opportunity to perform the annual maintenance at this time, depending upon the amount of usage. Check with an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department regarding the boat’s needs to determine if this is the appropriate time for annual service.
• • • • pushing out gasoline vapor-and-air mixtures. When the temperature falls, pressure lowers and the system will seek to draw fresh air and water vapor (depending on the humidity level) into the tank. Fresh air is replaced with “light ends,” which are low-boiling components that vaporize at ambient temperatures. Light ends are required during cold starts to vaporize the fuel.
Fuel systems on all boats MUST be properly prepared for storage periods exceeding two (2) weeks, as outlined in this Owner’s Manual. Failure to do so will void the warranty. General Power Package Preparation Step 1: Lubricate the throttle and shift linkages and cables with multi-purpose grease. Step 2: MasterCraft recommends that batteries be removed from the boat for winter storage.
Step 8: Cover the boat with a boat cover or tarp. Note: If the boat is to be stored outside and subject to accumulations of snow, water and ice, a support should be made for the boat cover so that it will not sag, rip or tear, thereby allowing water to enter the boat. Two-inch diameter PVC plumbing pipe is ideal for this purpose. It is readily available at local hardware stores, and it is easy to work with. Also, its rounded shape will prevent damage to the canvas.
gauge can be inserted at any point, the engine must be re-adjusted until proper alignment is obtained. This should be performed by an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department. Step 15: For all models, with the boat in the water, cycle the key ON and then OFF two (2) or three (3) times, allowing ten (10) seconds between key cycles, before cranking the engine. This allows the fuel pump to prime the fuel lines; then start the engine.
The following chart will assist you in finding and correcting minor mechanical and electrical problems with your MasterCraft boat. Engine manuals include troubleshooting suggestions regarding drive train issues. To correct a problem, first determine what the symptom is. Start with the first cause and eliminate the possibility of each until the problem is corrected. Due to the specialized skill and tools needed to correct major issues, that information has not been discussed below.
