aft. The next lever is the starboard engine shifter and per-
forms the same function. If both engines are running and
the boat is moving, the shifters should be shifted together
and in the same direction. Doing otherwise can damage
the system.
The next middle lever is the port engine throttle, which
allows the boat to feed fuel into the engine and operate in
motion. Pushing forward on it will signal the system that
fuel should be sent to the port engine. The engines can
be run at different levels of throttle.
This system allows greater maneuverability in docking,
as well as when the boat is in operation.
However, it
requires more practice and skill in order to avoid po-
tential damage to the boat.
Variations in Gauges and Switches
Please note that not every gauge or switch explained in
this Manual found on every model. Some equipment is
optional and not every option is available on all models
of MasterCraft boats.
Also, MasterCraft utilizes a
variety of gauge and switch
styles. These differences are
not in functionality. If a boat
is equipped with a gauge or
switch that is labeled as de-
scribed above, it will operate
in the same fashion as the
description even if its ap-
pearance is different.
If the owner and/or operators are uncertain about a
gauge’s or switch’s purpose, do not operate the boat
until consulting with an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
Some gauges monitor information that is critical to safe
and long-term usage of the boat. Some switches can af-
fect maneuverability, as well as operations that impact
long-term use of the boat.
