Step 3: Return the filter in place and recover. Tighten the nut, but do not over-tighten as it may eventually strip the threads holding the nut in place. Inspect the Battery Connections and Hold-Downs Because poor connections or hold-downs may result in erroneous voltmeter readings, MasterCraft recommends 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 seat. -

Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. Again, inspect the fuel system as well as possible. Inspect the fuel pump gasket, fastener gaskets, regulator seal and sender gasket for leaks. 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 that are not available to the public. -
