Safety Afloat

The cause of many boating accidents is often the operator’s

failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Many ac-
cidents can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the
boat, its operation and can recognize potentially hazardous situa-
tions before an accident occurs.

Failure to comply with safety-related information and in-

structions may result in serious injury or death to you and/

or others. Always use common sense when operating the

boat or participating in any activities associated with the

boat, including, but not limited to, periods of time when the

boat engine is shut down and the boat is not in operation.

• Improper operation of the boat is extremely dangerous! Opera

tors must read and understand all operating manuals supplied
with the boat, before operation.

• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing fed

eral, state and local regulations.

• Always attach the engine emergency safety shut-off lanyard to

a part of your clothing (such as a belt loop) when operating the
boat.

Never override or modify the engine emergency safety shut-

off switch in any way.

• Never operate the boat while under the influence of alcohol or

drugs.

• All persons must be seated in a designated occupant seating

area while the boat is in motion. Never stand or allow passen-
gers to stand in the boat or sit on the motor box or tower (where
equipped), or

any location other than occupant seating

while

underway. You or others may be thrown within or from the boat,
which could result in serious injury or death. Never allow occupants
to use sun pads or transom seating while the engine is running.

• Prior to starting the engine, you must open the engine box and

check the engine compartment and bilge for gasoline and oil va-
pors. You must also operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes.

Failure to do so may result in fire and/or an explosion.

Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the

blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the en-

gine may result in serious injury or death to you and/or

others.

•

Never remove or modify any components of the fuel system.

Removal or modification of any component of the fuel sys

tem may cause a hazardous situation and will void the war-
ranty. The modern MasterCraft fuel delivery lines are pres-
surized and attempting to loosen or remove them may result
in the uncontrolled release of fuel, which can be environmen-
tally hazardous, and may potentially cause injury.

• Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may re

sult in fire or explosion.

Skiing and Wakeboarding Safety

Skiers and wakeboarders are obligated to be as aware of the funda

mental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water sports, you should

seek certified training before starting. You may find it especially helpful to
join a local water-sports club, if available, and the U.S.W.S.A. (United States
Water Skiing Association).
• Always remember that the majority of water-skiing and wakeboard

ing injuries are the result of impacts with other objects, so always look
where you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.

• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the

handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line, nor wrap the line around
any part of the body at any time.

• Never ski or wakeboard at night.
• Never ski or wakeboard directly in front of other boats.
•

When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total ag-
gregate weight of the accessories does not exceed 85 lbs. (U.S.).
Exceeding the limit may result in structural failure of the tower.
MasterCraft strongly encourages the use of MasterCraft towers and
accessories only as they have been tested and determined to meet
product requirements, including weight.

Towers should never have a total aggregate weight of acces-

sories exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.) total. Excessive weight can cause

tower failure and the collapse of a tower or the disconnection

of the tower from the deck, which could result in serious bodily

injury or damage to the boat that is not covered by warranty.

• Never attempt to fold a manually powered tower without assistance.

Folding a manually powered tower requires at least two (2) people.
(The ZFT towers are not included in this group.)

• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit

the water when the engine is running (ON). (See the

Common Sense

Approach

section of this Owner’s Manual for additional information re-

garding carbon monoxide peril.)

• Never climb, sit or stand on a tower. The tower is intended for towing

only as noted.

• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing/wakeboard

ing hand signals and adheres to common skiing, wakeboarding and
boating courtesy.

• Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the ski platform while in

the water during engine operation, including at idle. Carbon monoxide
fumes are expelled from the lower transom areas of your boat and can
cause death or serious illness.

• The above mandates are not all-inclusive. It is the boater’s responsibil

ity to operate the boat in a safe fashion and become familiar with any
and all rules and regulations governing boat operation.

Do not tow more than two (2) persons at one time on a tow

tower. The tow tower approved for use on your boat should be

used only for water skis, wakeboards or recreational towables,

and not for parasailing, kite flying or towing other boats. Do

not add any attachments that are not approved for use on your

MasterCraft boat. Do not climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off

of or dive off of the tower. Never allow passengers to sit behind

the tow rope attachment point. Never allow loose tow rope ends

to dangle. Always be certain that all bolts are in place and tight

before and during use. When the tower is up, watch for low
