MasterCraft 2014 14v, Owner'S Manual

Page: 162 / 285

Additional Special Attention:
On-going care of the canvas is re-
quired to keep the material in good
condition for the life of the boat. See
Cleaning the Boat section of this Own-
er’s Manual
for more information.
Additional Special Attention:
Note that towing with unapproved
covers on the boat may result in dam-
age to the gel coat. MasterCraft recom-
mends the use of our towable cover only
for towing. Other canvas covers have
been developed and are available only
through authorized MasterCraft dealers
for a variety of uses.
Additional Special Attention:
The use of canvas covers, especially darkly
colored ones, in hot, sunny conditions, can
result in temperatures inside the boat in
excess of 140
o
F/60
o
C. Prolonged high tem-
peratures can heat interior metal and other
surfaces to the point that brief contact with
the skin may cause serious burns. Carefully
remove the cover and allow the interior to
ventilate and cool before allowing anyone
onboard.
Engine Flush
Models:
Available as
an option on all
boats. There are
two different
types of flushes
and the installed
option will de-
pend on the boat
model.
Purpose:
Boats that will be operated in salt
water (or brackish fresh water) need to
be rinsed after every use, including in-
ternal engine parts where water has been
drawn.
Location:
The engine flush connection is on the
transom, but varies on different models.
Operation:
The engine flush connection al -
lows for quick and easy connection to a
shore-side garden hose or similar hose
to quickly and easily flush the engine.
See the
ILMOR Engine Owner’s Manual
for additional details regarding this im-
portant function. The flush connection is
located on the transom.
Troubleshooting:
1) If a hose will not connect to the flush
connection, locate a different hose. Gar-
den hoses work fine as long as the hose
end is not bent or misshapen.
2) If water will not enter through the flush
connection, disconnect the hose and
check that there is no obstruction in the
connection area.
3) If there is no obvious reason for the
system malfunction, take the boat to an
authorized MasterCraft dealer for assis-
tance.
