SEAT HEATERS
Models
Optional on all models for driver’s seat; certain models for observ-
er’s seat.
Purpose
The seat heat option allows equipped seats to be warmed to tem-
peratures above those of the ambient air.
Location
The electrical seat-heat mechanisms are located inside equipped
seats. The seat heat switch is on the driver’s armrest. In some
models, an optional observer seat heat switch is available and will
be found on the deck below the observer seat cushion.
Operation
A two-position switch allows heat to be turned ON for the driver’s
seat. Note that this switch and the observer’s seat heat switch will
operate only when the ignition is in the ON position.
Special Attention
Do not leave open food, sun tan oil, or other materials on the seats
if the seat heat function is ON. Although the heat does not exceed a
temperature at which skin can touch without burning, nonetheless
the additional heat could cause some types of food or other mate-
rials to melt, causing a stain or damage that is not covered under
warranty.
Do not leave unattended, open food or other materials that could
melt, on a seat equipped with a seat heater that is or will be turned
ON. The additional heat could cause melting, resulting in a stain or
other damage that is not covered under warranty.
Troubleshooting
If the seat heat system does not work when the switch is ON, check
at the main circuit breaker panel to ensure the circuit has not
tripped. If so, reset. If the seat heater(s) still does not work or if the
circuit continues to trip, take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft
dealer.
ANCHOR
Models
All models (excluding ProStar) have a bow cleat for securing anchor
lines. Anchors are optional on all models
Purpose
The anchor allows the boat to be temporarily moored in relatively
shallow water. Note that standard equipment does not include the
line for the anchor. This is because needs will vary considerably by
location of the body of water. The general rule of thumb is that the
boat owner should purchase anchor line from a marine aftermarket
company at a length about three-to-four (3-4) times the depth of
the body of water in which the boat will be moored.
Location
Some models are equipped with anchors, and there will be a desig-
nated storage area or stowage location on the boat, normally in the
forward area of the bow. Check with your dealer if you are uncertain
about this area because it is important to keep the anchor stowed
when it is not in use. In some instances, ladders may also be stowed
in this location.
Operation
MasterCraft anchors are manually operated. The anchor has a
storage compartment at the front of the bow. After purchasing
and securely attaching a line manufactured to be used in a
marine environment as an anchor line, open the anchor storage
compartment and remove the anchor. Drop the anchor over the
side, ensuring that the anchor does not make contact with the boat
deck or hull, as such contact could cause damage to the gel coat,
which is not covered under warranty. Also use care in retracting the
line and anchor to avoid damaging the deck and/or hull.
Always tie off to the bow. Never tie off solely to any position aft,
including the transom.
The anchor has been provided to assist boaters in remaining in a
chosen location. Boats should always be tied off to the bow and
never solely to the aft. Note that use of the anchor system will not
guarantee a properly anchored boat or that the boat will remain in
a stationary position. Environmental, bottom conditions, current
and tidal conditions must be taken into consideration when
anchoring the boat. Only properly trained operators should set the
anchor for this system. Establishing a secure anchorage requires
practice. Damage to your boat may result due to improper anchoring
techniques.
Swimmers or anyone in the water in the area of the bow should
remain aware of the anchor line anytime it is deployed. Even if it
