charge or even an explosion of the battery, which could result in 

death or serious injury. (Page 16-2, 16-4, and 19-2)

The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must 

be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing or body parts can 

get caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep 

away from moving parts! (Page 5-5, 16-3)

 Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recom-

mended, and can result in impaired visibility, diminished han-

dling 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. 

Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. 

Such failure may result in death or serious injury! (Page 12-1)

Towers on boats are intended for use for the towing of a maxi-

mum of two (2) individuals using water skis, wakeboards or rec-

reational towables only. Use of the tower to tow other boats, kites 

or for any other purpose may result in serious injury or death, 

and may damage the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. 

All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits 

can cause operation instability and/or the boat to sink. This may 

result in serious injury or death, as well as significant damage to 

the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. (Page 2-1)

  While operating attitude adjustment plates use caution. Im-

proper use of plates can cause accidents, which may result in 

serious injury or death. 

  While the boat is underway do not move one plate up or down 

significantly as this may cause listing.

  While at higher speeds do not over-trim, as this will cause the 

bow to lower quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed and may 

cause the boat to veer.

  When in following seas or when running an inlet, the plates 

should be fully retracted. This will allow for optimal performance.

  ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ACTUATORS PROVIDE AN IN-

STANT RESPONSE.  WHEN MAKING 

ADJUSTMENTS, USE SHORT MO-

MENTARY TAPS OF THE SWITCH. 

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 materi-

als, which can result in injury. Improp-

erly stored materials can also move too 

freely during 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.  

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. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or 

death! (Page 19-8)

MasterCraft has determined that for the tower utilized on the 

2009 models, the total weight of all accessories mounted on the 

tower should never exceed 85 pounds, regardless of whether 

the accessories are MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have 

come from an aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this restriction 

can result in tower failure, which could result in serious injury 

or death to the boat operator and/or passengers. (Page 19-9)

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. (Page 12-1)

All replaced fuel components must meet United States Coast 

Guard (“USCG”) and American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. 

(“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 compo-

nents may result in serious injury or death. Resulting damage 

may void the warranty. (Page 16-8)

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 ap-

propriate 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 inap-

propriate oil levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not 

covered by your warranty. (Page 5-5)
