Page 2: Welcome Aboard
If you have any additional questions after reading these items publications, please feel free to speak with your dealer. MasterCraft wants you to feel comfortable with your boat (and trailer, where applicable) from the very beginning of your experience as an owner of our products. -
Page 3: Dangers, Warnings And Cautions
If there is any doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore and/or dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating again. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury/illness. - Page 4 Do not add any attachments that are not approved for use on your MasterCraft boat. Do not climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off of or dive off of the tower. Never allow passengers to sit behind the tow rope attachment point.
- Page 5 Keep away from moving parts! (Pages 5-6, 17-3, 17-4, 17-5) Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended, and can result in impaired visibility, di- minished handling characteristics and instability when operating your boat, and may result in potential struc- tural and/or engine damage to the boat, which damage will not be covered by your warranty.
- Page 6 (Page 6-10) MasterCraft has determined that for the tower utilized on the current models, the total weight of all acces- sories mounted on the tower should never exceed 85 pounds, regardless of whether the accessories are Mas- terCraft-approved and supplied or have come from an aftermarket supplier.
- Page 7 Because of the complexity of preparing a boat for proper winter storage, as well as the possibility of extreme damage to the drive train if a preparation error was made during winterization, MasterCraft recommends scheduling an appointment with an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department to permit a techni- cian to perform all winterization procedures.
- Page 8 Damage to the engine by use of low-quality gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating below the minimum level listed will void the warranty on the boat. (Page 7-2) Fuels that are blended to contain methanol or wood alcohol should not be used. These fuels can corrode metal parts in the fuel system and engine.

Page 16: Sound Producing Devices
• Coast Guard-approved inflatable PFDs are authorized for use on recreational boats by persons at least 16 years of age. • Some states require children to wear PFDs at all times. Check with your state boating safety officials for details. Be certain to equip children with a PFD that is appropriate for the size of the child. The label will indicate the weight limits for use. Sound Producing Devices The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Meeting, crossing and overtaking situations, which will be described in some detail shortly, are examples of when sound signals are required. Recreational vessels are also required to sound signals during periods of reduced visibility. Your MasterCraft boat is equipped with a horn, but you may also purchase aftermarket devices in case of potential electrical disconnect or failure. Note: The requirement to carry a bell on board no longer applies to vessels operating on International Waters. Visual Distress Signals All vessels used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas and those waters connected directly to them up to a point where a body of water is less than two miles wide, must be equipped with U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals. Vessels owned in the United States but operating on the high seas must be equipped with U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals. Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be Coast Guard-approved, in serviceable condition and readily accessible. This means that:... -
Page 17: Operator's License
The responsible boat owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, the decision regarding the appropriate equipment to take on indi- vidual outings is dependent upon the body of water and the length of the trip. We suggest the following equipment as a minimum (your MasterCraft dealer can also assist you with additional rec- ommendations): • An anchor with at least 75 feet of line (in saltwater operation, particularly); • A manual bailing device for removing water; • A combination oar/boat hook; • A day-and-night visual distress signal;... -
Page 18: Skiing And Wakeboarding Safety
Do not add any attachments that are not approved for use on your MasterCraft boat. Do not climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off of or dive off of the tower. Never allow passengers to sit behind the tow rope attachment point. Never allow loose tow rope ends to dangle. -
Page 19: Operator's Responsibilities
Operator’s Responsibilities • Ensure the boat is in top operating condition and there are no hazards that impede your moving about the boat. • Ensure the bilge is clean prior to starting. • File a float plan, as described below, with a relative or friend. • Have a complete knowledge of the operation and handling characteristics of your boat. • Ensure that the boat is not loaded above the maximum capacity and that the load is properly distrib- uted. • Have familiarity with your starting location and your goal, and the waterways between. • Maintain a safe speed at all times to avoid collisions. • Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions and respond accordingly. • Know and practice the navigational rules. Know and obey all federal and state regulations and operate the boat properly around all waterway markers. • Maintain a clear, unobstructed view at all times, especially forward. Scan the water and avoid tunnel vi- sion. Many boating collisions are caused by inattention. Float Plan A “float plan” is a written record indicating the planned destination and approximate length of time for the outing. Sample forms are available at the Coast Guard’s website. One should be completed and left with a rela- tive or friend prior to each trip. In case of an emergency or failure to return within a reasonable period of time, pertinent information will be available to assist local marine police or the Coast Guard in determining whether a search should be performed. Be sure to notify the float plan holder upon return. Nautical Charts Nautical charts are especially important to boaters planning trips, particularly on 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 naviga- tion, and marine hazards. Changes brought about by people and nature require that nautical charts be con- stantly maintained and updated to aid safe navigation. National Ocean Service (NOS) charts may be purchased either directly by mail from the NOS Distribution Branch or through an authorized agent. There are more than 1,700 nautical chart agents who sell them. -
Page 20: Staying Afloat
• Put on PFDs. • Turn on running lights. • Head for the nearest shore that is safe to approach, if possible. • Head bow of boat into waves at about a 45-degree angle. • Keep bilges free of water. • Seat passengers on bottom of the boat, near the centerline. • 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. Staying Afloat It is commonly believed that someone dressed in heavy cloth- ing or waders will experience considerably more difficulty staying afloat if they fall overboard. This is not true. Air trapped in cloth- ing provides flotation and bending the knees will trap air in wad- ers. To stay afloat: • Remain calm. Do not thrash about or try to remove clothing or footwear. This leads to exhaustion and increases the loss of air that may keep you afloat. • Keep your PFD on. • Keep your knees bent. • Float on your back and paddle slowly to safety. Cold Water Survival Sudden immersion in cold water can induce rapid, uncontrolled breathing, cardiac arrest and other physical body conditions, which can lead to drowning. Always wearing a PFD will help survival in rapid immersion situations. In other situations when entry into cold water is necessary: • Wear a PFD. -
Page 21: Anchoring
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. When the anchor line has been let out, back down on the anchor with the engine in idle reverse to help set the anchor. After it is firmly set, use reference points (landmarks) in relation to the boat to be sure that the boat is... -
Page 22: Common Sense Approach
This Owner’s Manual has been developed to help ensure an enjoyable experience as you boat, wakeboard and ski with a fabulous MasterCraft boat. As stated earlier, this information is not all-inclusive. There are many factors to consider and additional information that you need to research before undertaking any boating activity. In addition to reading this Owner’s Manual or other related material, and familiarizing yourself with the proper operation of the MasterCraft boat, you should also always use common sense when boating. For example, when anchoring the boat, you MUST turn OFF the engine. In most models, exhaust fumes contain- ing 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. - Page 23 MasterCraft strongly encourages individuals to wear Personal Flota- tion Devices (PFDs). In many states, it is a legal requirement for children to wear them at all times while on board. Non-swimmers and swim- mers of limited ability of any age should never be without a PFD while on a boat.

Page 24: Rules Of The Open Water
Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that ap- ply 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. Each state also has laws and boating limitations that may be applicable only within their boundaries. It is the operator’ s responsibility to seek out this information and become familiar with all safety-related information, laws and rules governing boating operation. The rules presented in this Owner’s Manual are condensed and have been provided for convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA), Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be using your boat. If you plan to travel—even for a short trip—you would be well-served to contact the regional USCGA, DMV or DNR in the area where you will be boating. Often, basic information is available through websites sponsored and prepared by these organizations and governing bodies. Steering and Sailing Rules/Sound Signals Any time two (2) vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way. It is called the stand-on vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the give-way or burdened vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right of way, and accordingly, what each vessel should do. The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate col- lision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you. The vessel that does not have the right of way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, the give-way vessel should not cross in front of the stand-on vessel. Slow down or change direction briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the stand-on operator can see what you are doing. Rules When Encountering Vessels There are three (3) main situations in which you may encounter other vessels, and you must avoid a colli- sion. These are: • Meeting (you are approaching another vessel head-on). Crossing (you are traveling across the other vessel’s path). • Overtaking (you are passing or being passed by another vessel). •... -
Page 25: Crossing
Crossing When two (2) power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel that views the crossing vessel to the starboard (right) side must give way. If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, you are the stand-on vessel, and provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way, maintain your course and direction. Overtaking If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way as you clear it, altering course and speed as necessary. Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you are the stand-on vessel, and you should maintain your speed and direction so that the vessel can be steered around you. Other Special Situations There are additional rules to remember when operating your boat around other vessels, such as: • When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. • When preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct your view of other water vessels, you should sound a prolonged blast on the horn or with a whistle for four (4) to six (6) seconds. Even if no reply is heard, you should still proceed around the bend with caution. 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. Fishing Vessel Right-of-Way Under international rules, all vessels that are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be fishing vessels; however, boats with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing vessels have the right of way, regardless of position, but these vessels cannot impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels. The General Prudential Rule This rule is called Rule 2 in the International Rules and says, “In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.”... -

Page 82: Comfort And Convenience
MasterCraft offers significant standard and optional items to make the boating experience more enjoy- able. 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 in- stances, 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. Anchor and Windlass Some models are equipped with anchors, and there will be a designated 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 winch, particularly in instances where the boat is expected to be used in deeper water. The windlass is a powered winch to raise the anchor and 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. -

Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual for additional battery information.) If the battery charger ever appears to be malfunctioning, see your authorized MasterCraft dealer for as- sistance. When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explo- sive. Keep all sparks, flames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an explosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury. -
Page 84: Gps And Chartplotter
Type A, B and C fires from an authorized MasterCraft dealer or from another source. Fire extinguishers require periodic maintenance. Monthly, each fire extinguisher on your boat should be exam- ined 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. Additionally, if the extinguisher has not been used, it should be weighed annually to assure that the minimum weight as stated on the label still exists. Any fire extinguisher that has been partially emptied must be replaced or taken to a qualified fire extinguisher servicing company for recharging. Considerable additional information regarding the proper use of the fire suppression and extinguishing func- tions on MasterCraft boats is included in the Boating Safety section of this Owner’s Manual. Be certain to thor- oughly review and understand that information prior to use of the boat the first time. MasterCraft recommends that boat owners include a check of the fire suppression and extinguisher units during the annual maintenance to be sure that they are always ready for use. Some units may not require annual checks; refer to the signage and labeling on the individual units for further guidance. GPS and Chartplotter All GPS and chartplotter systems come with extensive instruction manu- als. Please refer to these manuals or the manufacturer’s website for details and guidance.

NAVIGABLE BODIES OF WATER, WHERE SUCH DISPOSAL IS ILLEGAL OR CREATES AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.) Step 2: Keep the system clean, using mild detergent or cleaner. Both types of heads are supplied with in-depth instructions, which will be found in the head and should be removed and read prior to the first use of the system. Store the instructions with this Owner’s Manual and other important material regarding the boat. Use only rapid-dissolve toilet paper with these head systems, and only deodorant specially formulated for this type of head system. See instructions for details. In the event that anything from the head’s bowl or holding tank escapes, it should be cleaned as soon as practicable. Failure to clean any spillage may result in unpleasant odors, mildew, mold and damage to the deck or other areas of the boat. This is not covered under warranty. See the Storage & Winterization section of this Owner’s Manual for important information regarding the prepa- ration of the head for storage. Heater All MasterCraft models offer a heater option. The heater’s three-position 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 main- tenance. However, it is advisable to avoid placing items in front of the vents, par- ticularly when the heater is in use. The heated air coming out could cause damage. Never run the heater in a confined space, such as a garage or shop. Fumes from 2011 Owners Manual...Comfort and Convenience...Page 6-4... -

Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system. Never run the engine without proper ventilation. Do not run the engine in a confined space or where fumes may be trapped. Hydraulic Steering System Some models offer a hydraulic steering system as an option. At any time, if the steering is sluggish, difficult, or shows any signs of not working smoothly and properly, the boat should immediately be taken to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for attention. The hydraulic steering system is not accessible to the con- sumer for repair or maintenance, all of which should be done by an authorized MasterCraft dealer.

To install the bags, you will need to remove the plugs that will come with all the plumbing. MasterCraft recom- mends you keep track of these plugs and place them back in the plumbing when and if the bags are removed. Without the plugs or bags in place, water will make its way into the boat through these lines. -
Page 88: Refrigeration
Seat Heaters For real comfort, some models offer a seat heater option, which will be for the driver’s seat, and sometimes in the observer’s seat. It is not offered for any other seat- ing in the boat. Note that the ignition must be ON for the seat heater to work. The heater(s) operate by a switch on the control panel. If the switch is turned ON and the seat does not warm up, or appears to become too warm, turn the switch to OFF and seek assistance from your authorized MasterCraft dealer in remedying the issue. Seating Comfortable seating is a hallmark of MasterCraft. Not only does the seating enhance the overall boating experience but it also is the designated area for operators and passengers to be while the boat is underway. 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. -
Page 89: Shower Or Wash Down
Some specialized optional seating adds more comfort. Convertible seats allow the seat back to be moved forward or back, changing the orientation. Note that there is a button that is depressed to allow the seat back to slide. Be sure that the seat back locking mechanism is securely engaged before using the seat back. Failure to engage the locking mechanism may allow unintended movement that could result in a per- son losing balance or even falling. The convertible seat back at the transom seating is intended to be used only when the boat is stationary and the engine is OFF. The seat back must be in the forward facing position, never aft facing, when the engine is run- ning or the boat is underway. Positioned aft facing, 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. Open the observer seat adjacent to the jump seat and note that there is a lock pin that should be inserted to hold the jump seat secure against the side deck of the observer seat. Failure to do this could allow the jump seat to move during boat operation, which could result in passenger injury. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of exposure to carbon monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations. -
Page 90: Ski/Wakeboard Rope
Stereo Equipment All stereo equipment, whether standard or optional equipment, comes with ex- tensive instruction material. Please refer to this material or to the manufacturer’s website for details and guidance. Swim/Boarding Platforms One of the most attractive aspects of all MasterCraft boats are the swim plat- forms attached to the transom of the boats. Whether teak or fiberglass with inlays, the swim platforms are a source of enjoyment. MasterCraft reminds consumers to review the Common Sense Approach section of this Owner’s Manual, and pay particular attention to avoiding “teak surfing” or “platform dragging,” which expose the participant to excess carbon monoxide; and to the information regarding use of the optional shower while standing or sitting on the swim platform. -
Page 91: Tables
OFF. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death! 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. Stored away, they should also be situated so that the metal top and bottom of the leg cannot rub against the table top and cause scratches. This type of damage will not be covered under warranty. The bow table option on the CSX 265 does not remove for storage. Therefore, care should be taken to clean it regularly and avoid damage from spray or UV rays. See the Cleaning the Boat section of this Owner’s Manual for information on cleaning the surfaces of all tables. Towers Many MasterCraft models are now equipped with a tower, whether as part of a standard package or as an optional addition. Again, MasterCraft strongly encourages the occupants of the boat to review the Com- mon Sense Approach and the Boating Safety sections of this Owner’s Manual prior to use of the boat and the 2011 Owners Manual...Comfort and Convenience...Page 6-10... -

Page 94: 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 incorpo- rated into the fuel delivery system. The system uses a fuel pump mounted in a capsule that is installed directly in the fuel tank. A similar system has been used in automotive vehicles for many years and has demonstrated reliable service. The 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. Any parts in need of service or maintenance will need to be addressed by an authorized MasterCraft dealer. The authorized MasterCraft dealer there is equipped with the special tools necessary to disassemble and service the fuel capsule and associated parts. Replacement parts must meet OEM requirements as specified by MasterCraft. The fuel line in the boat’s bilge area that goes from the tank to the engine is a special multi-layer armored line that is covered with a special material known as a fire sleeve. The fire sleeve affords protec- tion to the fuel line in the unlikely event of a boat fire. The sleeve is colored orange for easy identification of the fuel line. MasterCraft recommends daily inspec- tion of the bilge for foreign materials and the possibility of gas or oil leakage detection. As part of your daily inspection, include a visual check of the orange fire-sleeved fuel line. If you see damage to the sleeve or line or in any way suspect damage or fuel leakage, DO NOT START THE BOAT! Immediately call an authorized MasterCraft servicing dealer and let him or her assess the situation. Even if the outing is canceled, leaking fuel can cause serious damage to the environment and may be a potentially hazardous situation for people and property in the area. Therefore, it is critical to attend to any indication that there is fuel line damage or fuel leakage as soon as possible. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within fifty (50) feet of the fueling area when fueling. -
Page 95: Indmar Engines
Using Oxygenated Fuels or Fuels with Alcohol MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is an oxygenate and octane enhancer. This compound may be blended with fuel. Fuel that is no more than fifteen percent (15%) MTBE is acceptable for use in the Indmar engine. Ethyl alcohol, ethanol or grain alcohol is acceptable as long as it is a blend and the blended fuel contains no more than ten percent (10%) ethanol. Fuels Outside the United States and Canada If the Indmar-equipped boat is operated outside the USA or Canada, unleaded fuels may be difficult to obtain. Leaded fuels are not recommended as engine components will last longer using unleaded fuel. Volkswagen Diesel Engine If the MasterCraft boat is equipped with a Volkswagen diesel engine, refer to the owners manual that comes with it for important information regarding fueling and starting the engine. 2011 Owners Manual...Using Care When Fueling...Page 7-2... -
Page 96: Ilmormarine Engines
ILMORMARINE Engines What Type of Gasoline To Use The ILMOR MV8 engine (5.7, 6.0 and 6.2L) requires a minimum of 87 octane fuel. The octane number is based on the pump octane number, which is (R + M)/2, where R is the research octane number and M is the motored octane number. For better performance, 93 octane fuel is recommended. Fuels other than specified will negatively alter performance, emissions and could damage the engine. Use of lower octane fuels will cause spark knock (pinging). Continued heavy spark knock can cause severe engine damage. The engines have knock detection systems that offer the best engine performance by con- trolling knock through precise ignition timing. The higher octane fuel will cause less knock for the ignition system to process and adjust for. Poor quality or old fuels can cause problems such as loss of performance, rough idling, hard starting and hesitation. If the engine experiences any of these symptoms, first try another brand of gasoline and/or replace the old gasoline with fresh gasoline. Many engine manufacturers believe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) detergent levels in gasolines do not provide sufficient deposit controls to allow for optimal engine performance. As a result, TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were created to ensure gasolines have all the necessary additives and detergents to reduce the build-up of deposits in an engine. ILMOR recommends purchasing fuel from a supplier that confirms their fuel meets TOP TIER specifications. For a list of TOP TIER retailers, check www. toptiergas.com, and click on “Retailers.” Damage to the engine by use of low-quality gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating below the minimum level listed for ILMOR MV8 engines will void the warranty on the engine. -
Page 97: Safety Checks And Services
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.

Page 100: Shifting Gears
Shifting Gears When shifting gears, always move the control lever smoothly and quickly into gear. Do not hesitate. Slow gear engagement could damage the shifting mechanism in the transmission. NOTE: When shifting from forward to reverse or reverse to forward, be sure to stop the control lever in the neutral position and allow the engine to fall between 600-800 RPM before completing the shift. With the exception of the 280V, X-80 and CSX-265, a one-hand, single-lever control operates as both a gear shifter and a throttle. The lever automatically locks in the neutral position (straight up and down) for safe- ty. The lever can be moved from neutral only by raising the lifter under the ball knob. Shifting is accomplished by moving the lever forward or backward. Center (straight up) is neutral. Moving the lever forward engages the... -

2-3 minute cool-down period at low idle (600-800 RPM). Step 2: Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to stop the engine. Step 3: If any problems were encountered during operation, have the boat inspected by an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Request any necessary repairs before resuming operation of the boat. 2011 Owners Manual...Starting and Basic Operation...Page 10-3... -
Page 102: Operational Hints
Manual are limited to the facts related directly to the operation of the boat, while the responsibility for the proper application of these principles belongs with the boat owner and/or operator. Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended, and can result in impaired visibility, diminished handling characteristics and instability when operating your boat, and may result in potential structural and/or engine damage to the boat, which damage will not be covered by your warranty. -
Page 103: Basic Maneuvering
Stopping—or checking headway—is a technique that must be mastered. With no brakes, reverse must be used to stop the boat. The momentum of the boat will vary according to the load. Make it a practice to slow to no-wake speed before shifting into reverse. When practicing maneuvering techniques, always do so in open water that is free of traffic. Adequate practice may make the difference between a pleasurable boating experience or a potentially damaging (at the very least, embarrassing) one. High Speed Operation MasterCraft boats are designed to be a high-performance boat. Professional drivers with advanced operat- ing 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. Maneuvers of this nature could cause serious injury or death, as well as damage to your MasterCraft boat that will not be covered under warranty. Boat operators should never attempt to duplicate operational skills of professional drivers. When such maneuvers fail, it can result in serious injury or death. -
Page 104: Unusual Operating Conditions
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 pres- sure and temperature have a noticeable effect on the density of air since heat and humidity thin the air. This phenomenon can become particularly apparent when an engine is propped for use on a cool, dry day in spring and then is operated on a hot, humid day in summer, and does not have the same performance. Although some performance can be regained by dropping to a lower-pitch propeller, the basic condition still exists. The propeller is too large in diameter for the reduced power output. An experienced marine dealer can determine how much diameter to remove from a lower-pitch propeller for specific high- elevation locations. MasterCraft’s engine manufacturers suggest that consumers consult with the dealer from whom the boat was purchased re- garding the best propeller for the application in which the boat will primarily be run. However, be aware that changing the propeller may void the warranty. Again, working with an authorized Mas- terCraft dealer is your best bet to ensure excellent performance. Unusual Operating Conditions If the body of water is unknown, talk to local boaters about the type of obstacles that may be encountered beneath the wa- ter’s surface. Rocks, tree stumps and sandbars are all dangerous and damaging. Be especially wary of rivers and man-made lakes. -
Page 106: 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. A strap placed between stern eyes, and then lifted from the mid-point, is not the recom- mended method, and will put substantial additional stress on the stern eye mounting location. DO NOT use the ski pylon or any portion of any tower for lifting. They are NOT designed to be used as a central lifting point. Also, DO NOT use the stern ski tow as a lifting ring. The deck may be damaged. -

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... -
Page 108: Cleaning The Boat
Do not soak the cushion, and dry thoroughly after washing to prevent mildew ac- cumulations when the boat is covered. Spray the cushions with a mildew repellent and prop them up in the boat when it is covered to take advantage of air circulation. MasterCraft vinyl is made to withstand the effects of sun, heat, acid rain and soiling, under normal conditions, but this does not preclude the cleaning requirements. Please consult the following cleaning recommendations before cleaning your upholstery. Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and industrial cleaners may cause damage and discoloration, and are not recommended for use. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer solvents should not be used as they will remove the printed pattern and gloss. Waxes are not recom-... -
Page 109: Carpet
This situation is worsened if the boat is stored without proper ventilation or if the boat cover is put on while the vinyl is still wet, creating a situation in which all forms of fungi (mold and mildew) thrive. Failure to follow these instructions in the proper care of upholstery may cause your warranty to be voided! The cleaning table presented in this section is offered only as a suggestion and as an aid in attempting to deal with stains. We do not guarantee that the cleaning methods will work. Stains from any external source are unlikely to be covered by warranty. 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. Teak Wood Full teak platforms: If shoes are worn when walking on the teak, they should be proper boating shoes. Black-soled shoes are likely to scuff the surface, resulting in marks that may be difficult to remove or even leave permanent marks that are not covered under warranty. -

allow to air dry. Sanded areas will appear lighter after sanding and will blend in with the surrounding areas within a day or two. If a chemical stain is allowed to dry and soap and water do not remove it, the surface can be lightly sanded with 60-grit sandpaper. Sand the stain in the same direction as the black caulk seams. Sanded areas will appear lighter after sanding and will blend in with the surrounding areas within a day or two. If bleach is used on areas surrounding the teak inlay deck, first spray the surface with water to dilute any bleach that may run onto the deck surface. After cleaning the other area(s) with bleach, re-spray both the bleached surfaces and the teak surfaces to rinse away any bleach residue. Note that bleach should never be applied directly to the teak! Fiberglass Swim Platform... -

Check—Verify the operational readiness by physical measurement, i.e., measuring the oil level with the dipstick gauge or alignment with a feeler gauge. Inspect—Determine the operational readiness by examination, i.e., by sight, sound or feel. Change—Tasks required periodically to keep the boat in proper operating condition, i.e., drain, replen- ish or service. New Boat Break-In Note: MasterCraft recommends the following functions be performed by authorized MasterCraft technicians at an authorized MasterCraft dealer. • Lubricate the engine starter drive gear and shaft. (See Quarterly Maintenance also.) • Check the alignment of the propeller shaft. (See Annual Maintenance also.) • Have an authorized MasterCraft service department change the fuel filter after the first fifty (50) hours of operation, and then again at one hundred (100) hours for Indmar engines. The fuel filter should be changed annually even if less than one hundred (100) hours are run during the previous season. The Volkswagen diesel engine requires oil and filter changes every two hundred (200) hours, or annually, whichever comes first. - Page 116 • Boats equipped with an optional flushing system for use in salt water or brackish water should operate the flushing system. Quarterly (Every Fifty [50] Hours) Note: MasterCraft recommends that the following functions be performed by authorized Master- Craft technicians at an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Before the engine has been started or after it has cooled: • Lubricate the engine starter gear and shaft.

Step 3: Return the filter in place and recover. Tighten the wing nut, but do not over-tighten as it may eventually strip the threads holding the wing nut in place. Inspect the Battery Connections and Hold-Downs Because poor connections or hold-downs may result in erroneous voltmeter readings, MasterCraft recom- mends doing this before starting the boat. Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. Locate the battery. Batteries are placed in a variety of locations, depending on the model. Check under the observer seat or behind the rear... - Page 118 Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting in fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and flames away from the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system. Step 2: Open the engine compartment and visually check as much of the fuel system from the tank to the engine as you can see. If the odor of gasoline is strong or if you see visual evi- dence 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 that are not available to the public. 2011 Owners Manual...Scheduled Maintenance...Page 17-2...

Step 2: Inspect the exhaust flap hinge for signs of deterioration. Replace the flap if necessary. Lubricate the Steering System Because this process should be completed while all movable components of the drive train are NOT in mo- tion, MasterCraft recommends 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. -
Page 124: Fire Extinguisher And Suppression Units
Due to the potential for serious consequences when errors occur in servicing the fuel system, MasterCraft strongly encourages all boat owners and operators to seek professional assistance from an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department whenever any service or perceived problems occur within the fuel system. -
Page 125: Storage And Winterization
Because of the complexity of preparing a boat for proper winter storage, as well as the possibility of extreme damage to the drive train if a preparation error was made during winterization, Mas- terCraft recommends scheduling an appointment with an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department to permit a technician to perform all winterization procedures. -

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. Batteries should be fully charged before being stored in a cool, dry location, protected from the elements and fully re-charged before being re-installed in the boat. Never store batteries close to heat, spark or flame-producing devices. -
Page 127: Ballast System Preparations
Step 8: MasterCraft recommends the battery or batteries be removed from the boat for winter storage. Batteries should be fully charged before being stored in a cool, dry location, protected from the elements and fully re-charged before being re-installed in the boat. Step 9: If the tower will be lowered during storage, be certain that the tower does not rest on the boat upholstery or on any support that rests on the upholstery. The tower or support(s) may leave a permanent imprint on the upholstery. This is not covered under warranty. Step 10: 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, there- by allowing water to enter the boat. -
Page 128: Propeller Maintenance
Propeller damage is caused by striking solid objects. If the propeller is not rotating at the time it strikes a solid object, the damage is usually confined to just one blade and may be difficult to see. If the propeller is rotating when it strikes an object, usually the resulting damage can easily be seen on all blades. Checking/Repairing Propellers Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the emergency safety stop switch is disconnected. Step 2: Clamp a small rule scale to the shaft strut, parallel to the shaft so that the end of the scale is 3/32- inches from the leading edge of a propeller blade. Step 3: Rotate the propeller slowly. There should be no more than 3/32-inch variance between the blades. If the propeller is damaged, see an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Changing Propellers Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch is disconnected. Step 2: Remove and discard the cotter pin. Step 3: Remove the propeller nut. Step 4: Tap the center hub of the propeller with a rubber mallet to release the propeller. Inspect the shaft and propeller splines for damage. Step 5: Thoroughly clean and apply a light coat of waterproof marine multi-purpose grease to the splined area of the shaft and propeller. Step 6: Align the splines and carefully install the propeller onto the shaft. DO NOT FORCE THE PROPEL- LER INTO PLACE. - Page 129 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 pos- sibility 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. If a problem is not addressed herein, please contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department. When experiencing a problem, check the surroundings before shutting down the boat. If a sudden stop would place other boaters in jeopardy, continue on until it is safe to slow or stop to analyze the situation. Always be aware of the surroundings and how actions may impact other boaters! Throttle/shifting problems. Corroded cables. Clean and lubricate the cables. Low transmission oil level.
