Operation Manual

or does not register, the battery(ies)
require recharging. Use only a Master-
Craft battery charger. DO NOT attempt
to jump start the battery from a vehicle
or another boat because this can cause
an overload of the boat’s electrical sys-
tem, resulting in signicant damage to
the boat that is not covered under the
warranty!
Attempting to jump start a battery or bat-
teries on a MasterCraf boat, regardless
of battery brand, from a vehicle or another
boat can cause an overload to the boat’s
electrical system, resulting in significant
damage to the electrical system. This is not
covered under warranty!
If sufcient charge appears available,
also check:
a) the throttle is in neutral, and
b) the engine emergency safety stop
switch is attached and operational as
explained in the next section.
Engine Emergency
Safety Stop Switch
Models:
All.
Purpose:
The engine
emergency safe-
ty stop switch,
which is attached
to a lanyard, is an
ignition cut-off
switch designed
to stop the en-
gine in the event
the operator is
thrown or moves
away from the
helm. The lanyard
is equipped with a
hook on one end
that should be at-
tached to your clothing or PFD, and the
opposite end has a slide that ts over the
ignition switch. Be sure that the slide is
rmly attached to the ignition switch be-
fore starting the engine.
Location:
The engine emergency safety stop
connection is located near the throttle
control box, the armrest or on the in-
strument panel. If the slide is left off or
is loose, the engine will crank but will
not start.
Operators should NEVER attempt
to override this safety system!
Troubleshooting:
If the lanyard between the engine
emergency safety stop becomes unat-
tached from the connection point, the
engine will shut down. Reattach the en-
gine emergency safety stop and restart
the engine.
The safety switch lanyard must be attached
to the operator whenever the engine is run-
ning. Attempting to override this system
may result in death or serious injury!
