This Owner’s Manual has been developed to help ensure an enjoyable experience as you
boat, wakeboard and ski with a fabulous MasterCraft boat. As stated earlier, this information is
not all-inclusive. There are many factors to consider and additional information that you need to
research before undertaking any boating activity.
In addition to reading this Owner’s Manual or other related material, and familiarizing
yourself with the proper operation of the MasterCraft boat, you should also always use com-
mon sense when boating. For example, when anchoring the boat, you MUST turn OFF the
engine. In most models, exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide are emitted from the
exhaust flap area of the transom immediately below the swim platform. No one should ever
be on the swim platform or transom while the engine is operating. This includes while using
the shower option in those models where the engine must run in order to create hot water.
In those instances, showering must never be done on the swim platform or transom as the
carbon monoxide fumes are toxic.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accu-
mulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon mon-
oxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of
carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of exposure to carbon
monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations. Carbon mon-
oxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard engines may build up inside
and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed
operations. STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at
the stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports or other
activities in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limitation, the
swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in operation. Under
no circumstances should the owner and/or operator allow persons to hold onto
the swim platform while the engine is operating and the boat is in motion. These
activities (sometimes known as “teak surfing” or “platform dragging,” where the
participant holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through the water, and/
or “body surfs” immediately behind the boat) are extremely dangerous, highly
likely to result in death or serious bodily injury, and are a misuse of this product.
Common
Sense
Approach
All boats have weight limits. Failure to ad-
here to the posted limits can cause operation
instability and/or the boat to sink. This may
result in serious injury or death, as well as
significant damage to the boat, which will not
be covered by warranty.
Overloading a boat may cause it to become un-
stable and may potentially result in the boat’s flo -
tation system becoming overwhelmed. Too much
weight can sink any boat! Within this Manual and
on a label mounted in each boat is the weight and
maximum occupant limit for that specific model.
Bear in mind that total weight limits include ad-
ditional water ballast, gear brought onto the boat,
additional options and all people. Equally critical is
how weight is distributed throughout the boat. If too
much weight is placed in one area it can have seri-
ous impact on maintaining control. Items and people
can also shift positions during operation, potentially
causing a dangerous situation.
