Troubleshooting
If the key switch is in the ON position and the engine will not start by
pressing the START-STOP BUTTON, check the voltmeter for a read-
ing. If it is lower than 10.5 volts or does not register, the battery(ies)
require recharging. Use only a MasterCraft battery charger. DO NOT
attempt to jump start the battery from a vehicle or another boat
because this can cause an overload of the electrical system.
ENGINE EMERGENCY SAFETY
STOP SWITCH
The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator
whenever the engine is running. Attempting to override this
system may result in death or serious injury!
Purpose
The engine emergency safety stop switch, which is attached to a
lanyard, is an ignition cut-off switch designed to stop the engine in
the event the operator is thrown or moves away from the helm. The
lanyard is equipped with a hook on one end that should be attached
to your clothing or PFD, and the opposite end has a slide that fits
over the ignition switch. Be sure that the slide is firmly attached to
the ignition switch before starting the engine.
Location
The engine emergency safety stop connection is located near the
throttle control box on the armrest. If the slide is left off or is loose,
the engine will crank but will not start. Operators should NEVER
attempt to override this safety system!
Troubleshooting
If the lanyard between the engine emergency safety stop becomes
unattached from the connection point, the engine will shut down.
Reattach the engine emergency safety stop and restart the engine.
