Safety Checks & Services
2007 MasterCraft Owners Manual - Page 7-1
The following checks and services are essential to safe boating and must be performed. Get in the habit of
performing these checks in the same order each outing so that it becomes routine.
DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found during the Safety Check. A problem could lead to an
accident during the outing, resulting in serious injury or death. Any and all problems should receive attention im-
mediately. See your MasterCraft dealer for assistance.
