Ballast Systems
Models:
Standard on all boats, but may op-
tionally be canceled during boat order
process. Ballast tanks cannot be re-
moved after the boat has been built due
to tight tolerances for t between the
deck and hull.
Purpose:
Ballast systems were specially de-
signed for each model of MasterCraft
boats to enhance enjoyment of boat-
ing. By creating deeper, more dynamic
waves in the wake, boarding enthusiasts
with skills ranging from beginners to
professional boarders have discovered
more enjoyable, even record-setting ex-
periences. For simple outings and quick-
er reaction by the boat, ballast systems
can be left empty. Filling ballast tanks,
however, sets the stage for exciting and
fun experiences.
Location:
Ballast tanks are located between
deck and hull, out-of-sight. Ballast ll
and empty locations are underwater
and should be kept clear of debris. (See
Care and Maintenance section of this
Owner’s Manual for more detail.) Bal-
last overow locations are on the side of
the boat. Depending on the model, the
overow may be on the bow or the gun-
nel. (See Guide to Individual Models in
this Owner’s Manual to determine the
location of ballast overow.) Fill, empty
and overow locations should never be
obstructed.
In addition to the manual switch on
the driver’s armrest, control may also
be available through the Video Display
Gauge. (See Video Display Gauge sec-
tion of this Owner’s Manual.)
Operation:
The three-position switches and ro-
tary controls are clearly marked: FILL,
OFF (in center), and EMPTY. Turn the
switch in the direction desired. Be cer-
tain to return the switch to OFF when
