MasterCraft 2009 MariStar X-Series Manuel D’Utilisation

Proper control of MasterCraft boats 

extends beyond the steering wheel. Each 

boat is equipped with multiple gauges 

that provide information to guide the 

operator in maintaining control. There 

are also a variety of switches and but-

tons within the boat that control various 

functions from comfort to watersports 

enhancement to safety-related features. 

It is important for the boat owner and/or 

operator to become familiar with all 

gauges and switches in the boat, the func-

tionality of each, and how to respond to 

alarms and warnings that the instrument 

panel may provide.

In the Guide to Individual Models section 

of this Owner’s Manual is a listing of 

the locations of gauges and switches for 

the various model instrument panels. 

Operators should match up these listings with the actual panel. 

Prior to boating, owners and operators should also review and 

understand the following section regarding the boat’s electrical 

components and operations through the battery or batteries, as 

well as the circuit breaker system. A thorough understanding 

of these systems is critical to avoiding potential issues that may 

arise during an outing. 

The following is an explanation of the functionality of the gauges 

and switches that are listed for the various models. 

MasterCraft boats have one (1) or more 

12-volt receptacles. Examine your boat to de-

termine whether there are additional outlets. 

Prior to plugging any accessory into a 12-volt 

receptacle, ensure that the device is designed 

for use when connected to a 12-volt receptacle and will not be dam-

aged by the connection to the receptacle.

   (All Models—Actual Switch Usage Will 

Instrument panels may be equipped with 

Accessory Switches. In some instances, the 

indicator may be labeled with the name of 

the accessory, such as “Heater.” Accessory switches are two-posi-

tion switches. Turning the switch upwards will turn a connected 

accessory ON, while turning it down will turn the accessory OFF.

Where equipped, an aft light switch allows 

the operator to turn on aft facing tower 

lights. The two-position switch is pressed 

up for ON and down for OFF.

 

   (Stereo Standard Installa-

Boats may be equipped with a range of entertainment opportunities 

from radios and CD players to connections for personal devices. 

ALL radio and CD players will be located within the glovebox of the 

boat. Remotes may be in the armrest or on the transom. 

 

The iPod interface option features a cable located inside the 

glovebox that allows the unit to simply be plugged in and run 

off the boat’s electrical system. An optional plug-in location for 

MP3 players is available. Be aware that all such devices are a 

drain on the boat’s battery and electrical system. Care should be 

taken to avoid excessive usage of such devices and by responding 

to any alarms that sound so that the boat’s battery(ies) does not 

become fully discharged.

Another option is a wireless stereo remote that will float if ac-

cidentally dropped overboard. The remote can also double as a 

key fob for a limited number of keys.
