Starting and Basic Operation
NOTE: If you are operating this boat for the first time, you must follow the engine and drive
train break-in procedures as described in the previous section and the engine manual. Failure to
follow these procedures may result in serious damage and may void any warranties!
Before Starting
Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators used on this MasterCraft boat. Perform all Safety
Checks and Services as described earlier. Also perform all Scheduled Maintenance Checks and Services.
Step 1: Lift the engine cover and inspect the bilge and engine compartment for any fluid/vapor leakage.
MasterCraft recommends lifting the engine compartment cover for inspection before each use.
Step 2: Check the hull drain plugs. Make sure they are installed and secure.
Step 3: Operate the bilge blower for at least four (4) minutes. Leave the bilge blower ON through the starting
process and until the boat has planed.
To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the
engine and always when at idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery fumes may be
present in the engine compartment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death!
Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel and oil
leaks or the presence of fuel or oil in the bilge.
NOTE: Always start the engine with the control lever in the neutral position or with the shift disen-
gaged. Your boat is equipped with a neutral-start safety switch that will not allow the engine to be
started when in gear.
Starting the Engine
Step 1: Attach the emergency engine safety switch tether (lanyard) to an article of your clothing and to the
switch.
Step 2: For normal starting, leave the throttle lever in neutral. The electronic controls will meter the correct
fuel and air automatically.
Step 3: Turn the key switch to the start position and hold until the engine starts. Release the key as soon as
the engine starts.
Do not operate the starter
motor continuously for
more than fifteen (15)
seconds without at least
two (2) minutes for a “cool-down” period. Failure to do so may cause
the starter to overheat, resulting in damage. Failure to release the
ignition key after the engine has started may cause damage to the
starter motor and drive.
Note: While the engine is warming up, check to see that
all lights and gauges operate properly. Check that the steer-
ing system operates freely. There should be no apparent leaks
under pressure. Re-engage the control lever after warm-up by
returning the lever to neutral and pushing the throttle button
back into the engage position.
