air circulation and ventilation. A boat engine is housed in a closed compartment, the underside of
which is the bottom (hull) of the boat.
The enclosed engine compartment limits the ventilation of gasoline and oil fumes. Because con-
fined gasoline vapors mixed with a little air can form an explosive atmosphere, it is important to be
especially vigilant in performing the following two (2) operations:
Step 1: Inspect the boat bilge area under the engine for the evidence of oil and gasoline—or any
gasoline odor. This inspection should take place the first time the boat is started each day.
Raise the engine cover and visually look at the bilge area under the engine.
Step 2: Run the bilge blower for at least four (4) minutes to ventilate the bilge area each time before
starting the engine.

Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is present or gasoline is visually observed in the bilge area
during inspection, DO NOT START YOUR ENGINE! Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch and
call an authorized MasterCraft dealer for service.
Note: If there is evidence of loose fuel fittings, deteriorated lines or other problems associated with the
fuel system, call an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Fuel system service on later-model MasterCraft
boats requires special service tools and special training. Due to the potential for serious consequences
when errors occur in servicing the fuel system, MasterCraft strongly encourages all boat owners and
operators to seek professional assistance from an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department
whenever any service or perceived problems occur within the fuel system.
All replaced fuel components must meet United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) and American Boat
& Yacht Council, Inc. (“ABYC”) standards, and must be Underwriter’s Laboratory (“UL”)-approved.
Inferior quality components pose a serious safety threat to you and others, and the use of inferior
components may result in serious injury or death. Resulting damage may void the warranty.
Fire Extinguisher and Suppression Units
MasterCraft recommends that boat owners include a check of the fire suppression and extinguisher units
during the annual maintenance to be sure that they are always ready for use. Some units may not require an-
nual checks; refer to the signage and labeling on the individual units for further guidance.
Other Maintenance
Boat owners are required to perform routine regular maintenance as well as annual requirements, as out-
lined in the engine owner’s manual. Some standard or optional equipment on boats may come with their own
printed information that includes maintenance required to keep such components in excellent long-term
operating condition. Always follow these instructions.
