SAFETY KNOWLEDGE
Prior to operation, be certain that all passengers are aware of where the safety equipment is stowed, the location of emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers and how this equipment is used. In case of potential emergencies, be sure that at least one other person on-board understands how to operate the boat.
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your boat. You—and anyone who will be operating this boat—should read and seek to fully comprehend this Owner’s Manual, and any additional information provided by component manufacturers and suppliers. Make sure that you understand all of the controls and operating instructions before attempting to operate the boat. Improper operation is extremely dangerous!
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the Owner’s Manual. Additional precautions throughout the Owner’s Manual are noted by the following symbols:
THIS IS THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. IT IS USED TO ALERT YOU TO POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY HAZARDS. OBEY ALL SAFETY MESSAGES THAT FOLLOW THIS SYMBOL TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION used without the
safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
The precautions listed in this Owner’s Manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a pro­cedure, method, tool or part is not specifically recommended by MasterCraft, using it may place you and others in an unsafe situation; in addition, you may render your warranty void. Remember: Always use common sense when operating, servicing or repairing the boat!
Observing the safety recommendations found in this Owner’s Manual is critical to keeping your boating experience as safe as possible during routine operation. Your failure to do so may result in severe personal injury or death to you and/or others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Do not ever take unnecessary chances!

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Be certain that all operators of your boat are aware of the safety information within this Owner’s Manual and that they use it to conform to boat safety principles.
Boating safety starts with a thorough understanding of boat operations. In addition to careful review of this Owner’s Manual, you should also be aware that many sources of helpful information are available. MasterCraft urges you to pursue additional training prior to the independent operation of your boat. Training at any time from a recognized boating and/or safety organizations is beneficial.
The following is a listing of a few agencies and organizations that oer safety training and/or information:

SAFETY AFLOAT
The cause of many boating accidents is often the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Many accidents can be avoided if an operator is completely familiar with the boat, its op­eration, and can recognize potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.
Failure to comply with safety-related information and instructions 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 a boat is extremely dangerous! Operators must read and understand all operating manuals supplied with the boat, before operation.
• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing federal, state and local regulations.
• Always attach the engine emergency safety shut-o 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-o switch in any way.
• Never operate the boat, water ski, wakeboard or engage in other water activities 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. (A seating label is axed in each model.) Never stand or allow passengers to stand in the boat or sit on the motor box or tower (where equipped), gunwale, decks, 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. On models equipped with sliding or adjustable seat backs, ensure that the backs are in the locked position prior to operating the boat.
• Prior to starting the engine, open the engine box and check the engine compartment and bilge for gasoline and oil vapors. Always operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the boat. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or an explosion.
Page 6
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 06
Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine 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 system may cause a hazardous situation and will void the warranty. The modern MasterCraft fuel delivery lines are pressurized and attempting to loosen or remove them may result in the uncontrolled release of fuel, which can be environmentally hazardous, and may potentially cause injury.
• Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may result in fire or explosion.
E
COMMON SENSE ADVICE
Avoid any activity that may result in damage to the boat, thereby voiding the warranty. Some things, such as avoiding stationary objects, are obvious. However, even less obvious activities can cause damage to a boat, no matter how well-built. For example, while a beach or shoreline may seem soft while walking on it,
• File a float plan, as described below, with a relative or friend.
• Ensure the bilge is clean prior to starting.
• Have a complete knowledge of the operation and handling characteristics of your boat.
• Ensure that the boat is not loaded above the maximum capacity and that the load is properly distributed. Reference the seating chart label axed in the boat for proper distribution of persons aboard.
• Learn to navigate your local waterways. Be familiar with your starting and ending locations as well as any waterways along the way.
• Maintain a safe speed at all times to avoid collisions.
• Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions and respond accordingly.
• Know and practice the navigational rules. Know and obey all federal and state regulations and operate the boat properly around all waterway markers.
• Maintain a clear, unobstructed view at all times, especially forward. Scan the water and avoid tunnel vision. Many boating collisions are caused by inattention.
running a boat up onto shore may result in significant scratches in the gel coat and fiberglass finish. The causes of many kinds of damage are usually quite obvious to trained service personnel, and if they determine that damage was caused by misuse or activity such as “beaching,” such results can void the warranty.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect that could result in damage to the boat or that may cause illness, injury or even death to boaters. The operator, owner and/or all persons on board are responsible for using common sense and a careful thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken to keep boating enjoyable for many years to come. A MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless hours of family fun, as well as building friendships, but the boating experience remains safe only if you, and everyone on board, use your head before, during and after your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead with your MasterCraft boat, be sure that first and foremost, you are well-prepared to be responsible.
HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS
There are a number of situations which can result in peril for boats and persons on board. Among these is boating too close to dam spillways, where turbulence and strong currents can result in loss of control of the vessel. These areas as well as other hazardous areas are usually marked. DO NOT ignore such markers.
Additionally, there may be potentially hazardous situations that can adversely aect boating. These include weather conditions (addressed later in this chapter), operating in shallow water where underwater navigational gear may be damaged, or boating in bodies of water that include weeds and other growth that can foul boat operations. These flora can foul your boat engine, restrict water intake to the engine (causing overheating), and restrict the propeller(s) to such an extent that it causes a vibration that can damage the engine and drive train.
OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The following are the operator’s responsibility:
• Ensure the boat is in top operating condition and there are no hazards that impede your moving about the boat.
Page 7
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 08
CONSISTENT ATTENTION REQUIRED
or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limitation, the swim platform, the rear sun deck, and aft facing lounge seats 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.
Carbon monoxide (CO) enters your bloodstream through the lungs, blocking the oxygen your body needs. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to high concentrations can be deadly to all on board.
Early symptoms of CO poisoning include irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness and dizziness. These can be confused with seasickness or intoxication. Altitude, certain health-related problems, and age will increase the eects of CO. Persons who smoke or are exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke, consume alcohol, or have lung disorders or heart problems are particularly susceptible to an increase in the eects of CO. However, anyone can be aected. Another factor to consider is that physical exertion accelerates the rate at which the blood absorbs CO.
CARBON MONOXIDE (C0)
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.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the eects of long term carbon monoxide exposure can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations. Carbon monoxide 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 water sports

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 10
EMERGENCY TREATMENT FOR CO POISONING
CO poisoning or toxicity is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate action. The following is a list of things that should be done if CO poisoning is suspected. Proceed with caution. The victim may be in an area of CO concentration, which means you or others could be in danger from exposure to CO:
• Evaluate the situation and ventilate the area if possible.
• Evacuate the area and move the aected person(s) to a fresh air environment.
• Observe the victim(s).
• Administer oxygen, if available.
• Contact medical help. If the victim is not breathing, perform rescue breathing or approved cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as appropriate until medical help arrives. Prompt action can mean the dierence between life and death.
• Shut o potential sources of CO, if possible. Correct ventilation problems and/or repair exhaust problems as appropriate. Investigate the source of CO and take corrective action, such as evacuating and ventilating the area or shutting o the source of the CO, while at the same time evacuating and ventilating the area.
to do so can result in the accumulation of CO fumes.
• Never sit, teak surf, or hang on the back deck or swim platform while the engine is running. Teak surfing is NEVER a safe activity.
• Never move into areas under swim platforms where exhaust out­lets are located unless the area has been properly ventilated.
• Operation of boats at mile-high (5,250 ft.) or higher altitudes may aect CO production. Check with an authorized MasterCraft deal­er before operating at higher altitudes to determine whether the engine may require additional tuning to prevent excessive CO.
• Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if you smell exhaust fumes, CO is also present. Take immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
• Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person(s) into fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention.
• Install and maintain CO alarms inside your boat. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Follow Coast Guard safety checklists.
• Get a Vessel Safety Check. They are free! Your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary can provide details or check www.uscgaux.org online to locate assistance.
WHERE CO MAY ACCUMULATE
Carbon monoxide can accumulate anywhere in or around your boat. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures.
• Exhaust gas trapped in enclosed places.
• Blocked exhaust outlets.
• Another vessel’s exhaust. CO from the boat docked next to you can be just as deadly as that emitted from your own boat.
• Back drafting from your own boat’s exhaust.
• At slow speeds, while idling or stopped. Be aware that CO can remain in or around your boat at dangerous levels even if your engine or the other boat’s engine is no longer running.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Follow these simple steps to help keep CO from poisoning you, your passengers and others nearby:
• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat. This is particularly important when starting or running engines in boathouses, or near a sea wall. Boats that are moored in close proximity are also potential problems as the fumes from your boat or another boat can aect air drafts on all boats. Back drafting sometimes called the “station wagon eect” occurs when the fumes curl up over the swim platform and transom and into the boat, especially when canvas or other coverings trap the fumes. Even in open air, consider wind direction, the boat’s speed and trim angles.
• Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times. CO concentration is greater when the engine is cold. Ensure the boat is situated to take advantage of maximum dissipation of fumes.
• If your boat is equipped with a generator, know where the exhaust outlet(s) is located and keep everyone away from the area.
• Ensure that appliance, air conditioning, heater, generator, or other on-board function that emits fumes is routinely and regularly pro­vided with maintenance as described by manufacturers. Failure

WEIGHT LIMITS AND DISTRIBUTION
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere 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 unstable and may potentially result in the boat’s flotation system becoming over­whelmed. Too much weight can sink any boat. Within this Owner’s Manual and on a label mounted in each boat is the Maximum Capacity for that specific model. Bear in mind that maximum limits include additional water ballast bags and water put in them, gear brought onto the boat, additional options and all people. Maximum people is limited to the number of designated occupant seating positions. Equally critical is how weight is distributed throughout the boat. The weight must be distributed evenly throughout the boat. If too much weight is placed in one area it can have serious impact on maintaining control. Items and people can also shift positions during operation, potentially causing a dangerous situation.
Adding weight of any type to the boat will aect the handling char-
• The U.S. Coast Guard, as well as MasterCraft, recommends the wearing of PFDs at all times when the vessel is underway, even though it is not a requirement. The best PFD is the one that is worn and that can save your life.
• Inflatable PFDs must have a full cylinder and all status indicators on the inflator must be green, or the device is NOT serviceable, and is NOT considered a usable PFD for anyone on-board the vessel.
• Coast Guard-approved inflatable PFDs are authorized for use on recreational boats by persons at least 16 years of age.
• Some states require children to wear PFDs at all times. Check with your state boating safety ocials for details. Be certain to equip children with a PFD that is appropriate for the size of the child. The label will indicate the weight limits for use.
NOTE: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters dier. Check with the local boating authorities for more information.
acteristics of the boat while it is underway. Caution should always be exhibited when putting the boat into motion or attempting to stop it, particularly when the added-weight characteristics have changed.
LINE OF SIGHT
Care should also be taken to avoid interfering with the boat opera­tor’s line of sight when the boat is underway. This applies particu­larly to individuals riding in the bow. It is possible to quite uninten­tionally obscure the driver’s view. Even momentary interference can result in the driver’s inability to respond to a situation that requires avoidance of another vessel or submerged or partially-submerged objects. MasterCraft recommends using the driver seat bolster or standing to maintain a safe lookout and proper visibility when necessary. Everyone on board should always pay attention to other vessels, people and objects located in close proximity to the boat, activities taking place in or near the water, and should always be supportive of the boat operator.
The law requires the boat operator to maintain clear visibility at all times and in all directions when the boat is in motion.
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (PFDS) AND ACCESSIBILITY
Federal law requires at least one wearable Type I, II, III or Type V Personal Flotation Device (“PFD”) for each person on-board or being towed on water skis, wakeboards, surfboards or other recreational equipment. A Type V PFD provides perfor­mance of either a Type I, II or III PFD (as marked on its label) and must be used according to the label requirements. In addition, one throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board. As the owner, obtaining the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. You must also determine whether people on-board, including those who are underage, are required to wear PFDs when underway. Your Master­Craft dealer can, and will be happy to, assist you with your purchase of appropriate PFDs.
People on-board who cannot swim or who are not strong swimmers, as well as children, should wear PFDs at all times.
• Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible in the boat.
• It should be possible to put on the PFDs within a reasonable amount of time in case of emergency.
• PFDs should never be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them.
Page 10
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 14
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
The engine compartment in every MasterCraft boat is equipped with an automatic fire suppression system. The system has a manual deployment handle mounted in the helm area (domestic boats only) which uses a clean agent canister to suppress fires in the engine compartment.
Every boat MasterCraft builds is required by law to have on board one (1) 2.5-pound, dry chemical fire extinguisher rated for Type A, B and C fires. The dry chemical fire extinguisher is standard equip­ment, and is automatically included in your boat from the factory. Replacement units can be ordered from MasterCraft.
If any of the fire suppression system canisters on board your boat are discharged (whether a canister in an automatic system or a portable fire extinguisher), then they must be replaced immediate­ly. If the automatic fire suppression system has been discharged, the video display at the helm will notify the driver. If the clean agent canister associated with the automatic fire suppression system has been discharged, it must be replaced. Contact your authorized Mas­terCraft dealer to obtain a replacement for the clean agent type of canister. If the dry chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged, it must be replaced with a fire extinguisher that is rated for Type A, B and C fires from an authorized MasterCraft dealer or another source.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE
Fire on-board is among the most serious of matters that boaters can experience. Due to the close proximity of fuel tanks and a num­ber of electrically operated items that can result in a spark or arc, any and all fires on a boat should be a matter for immediate action.
While your MasterCraft boat is equipped with a fire suppression system and fire extinguishers (except models imported into Japan), it is important to make a quick and calculated decision regarding any fires. If the extinguishing/suppression materials do not quickly extinguish the fire, it may become necessary to abandon ship. Make sure everyone on board has a PFD and swims as quickly and as far as possible, up wind and upstream, from the boat. If gasoline is released, it will float on top of the water. It may spread out or move with the body of water’s current.
EVENTS REQUIRING SAFETY KNOWLEDGE
Page 11
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 16
Fire extinguishers require periodic maintenance. Monthly, each fire extinguisher on your boat should be examined to be sure that the seals and tamper indicators are not broken or missing. The pres­sure gauges or indicators, if applicable, should read in the operable range. There should be no obvious physical damage, rust, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzles. Additionally, if the extinguisher has not been used, it should be weighed annually to assure that the minimum weight as stated on the label still exists. Any fire extin­guisher that has been partially emptied must be replaced as soon as possible.
In an automatic/manual system, ensure the pin inserted to protect the system at the helm during transit from the factory (pictured above) has been pulled to activate the system. This is part of dealer preparation, but it is the responsibility of the boat owner to ensure that the system is functional.
CAPSIZING
In addition to fire, a boater’s greatest concern may be with the possibility of capsizing or overturning the boat. A number of factors can occur that will result in a boat overturning (high waves, excessive wakes, bad weather) or sinking as a result of damage such as striking an underwater object or another boat.
In the event of such an occurrence, try to turn the engine OFF. Attempt to locate any other people who were on-board and determine whether they are injured. Unless there is fire or release of gasoline, in most instances it is wise to remain with the boat. Except the cases of sinkable damage, it will float. Climbing on the hull will make it easier for rescuers to locate you and others.
should be used in situations other than engine compartment fires.
Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as soon as possible after use. Chemical discharge should be cleaned from all surfaces as soon as possible and prior to running the boat again, unless operation is necessary to return to shore.
The boat should never be operated following a fire until after a determination has been made whether operation may result in an­other fire. If any danger of an additional fire exists, the boat should be towed to shore or dock rather than running the engine(s).
Consumers who choose to purchase fire control equipment from resources other than MasterCraft must follow the instructions and requirements as listed within the engine compartment regarding suitability for the compartment volume. These standards are estab­lished by the Coast Guard Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).
Following the activation of the automatic fire suppression system or a hand-held fire extinguisher, a careful determination should be made as to whether the boat can safely be operated. If there is any doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore and/or dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating again. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury/illness.
FIRE SUPPRESSION AND EXTINGUISHING
All MasterCraft boats are equipped with an automatic fire suppres­sion system. The automatic system operates from sensors in the engine room and will automatically release a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that does not leave residue behind.
It is also possible to activate the system manually on the domestic boats only. Pull the pin with the red tag (pictured to left), and then pull the red fire handle to set the system in operation. (International boats are automatic only.)
In case of an engine compartment fire, shut down the engine and blowers before manual discharge, or immediately following the automatic discharge. Boats are equipped with a discharge indica­tion light at the instrument panel or on the video display gauge at the helm.
After the suppression system has been used, the fire extinguisher canister will be empty. The boat owner/operator should have the canister replaced as soon as possible.
MasterCraft boats have also been specified to carry a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammonium phosphate expellant (dry chemical) unit, which is rated Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (flammable liquids, fuel, gas) and Class C (energized electrical equipment). These units

RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING UNDERWATER OBJECTS
Ascertain whether there is damage to the hull. If water can be stopped from entering the boat, cautiously return to dock. Have the boat checked out by your authorized MasterCraft dealer to be certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water does not intrude initially, diculties may occur later.
If water is entering the boat after running aground or striking an underwater object, call or signal for assistance. Abandon ship, if necessary. Do not attempt to out-run a significant leak to shore as it can be dicult to estimate how long it will take for enough water to intrude and sink the boat.
Maintain a distance of at least six (6) feet from the ski platform when wake surfing or tubing. Any closer risks exposure to CO fumes, which can be deadly. Never launch a surfboard from the ski platform (or any part of the boat) or end a surfing session by surfing onto the ski platform. Such activities can damage the boat, which is not covered under warranty. Being on the ski platform at any time the boat is running can potentially expose individuals to CO poisoning as well.
• 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. See the Com­mon Sense Approach section following for more details.
• 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/wake­boarding hand signals and adheres to common skiing, wake­boarding and boating courtesy. Inexperienced skiers might not know that there are waterskiing hand signals, similar to bicycle and motorcycle hand signals, that can be used while skiing. For example, giving a thumbs up or palm facing up signal while motioning upwards means “speed up,” and the opposite, thumbs down or palms facing down, means “slow down.” There are also signals for speed—turn right, turn left, stop—and signals for
• Never follow another boat pulling a rider or tuber. The person may fall and could make it necessary to take immediate evasive mea­sures. This is an unsafe from of operation that should be avoided.
• When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total ag­gregate 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 accessories exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.). 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 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 regarding carbon monoxide peril.)
INWATER ACTIVITIES SAFETY
Individuals in the water are obligated to be as aware of the funda­mental 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).
Remember that the majority of in-water 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.
PROPELLER(S) MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Shut o the engine(s) when near persons in the water, prior to using sunpads, the swim platform or the boarding ladder.
• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line. Never wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing at night.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing directly in front of other boats.

when you are down in the water. Learning these help the water skier communicate with the boat over the loud roar of the engine. The best way to utilize these signals is by having a spotter. Many states require at least two people be aboard the boat while towing a skier—one driver and one spotter. Having a spotter to watch the water skier allows the driver of the boat to concentrate on the water in front of and around the boat. The spotter watches the water skier and communicates hand signals to the driver and also can alert the driver when the skier falls.
• Give immediate assistance to anyone who falls because they are vulnerable and may not be seen by other boaters. Approach individuals in the water from the leeward side (opposite the wind) and turn OFF the engine prior to reaching them. Propellers and engine exhaust are only part of the potential problem for some­one in the water. Be aware that propellers may continue to turn for a period of time after the engine is shut OFF, and the edges are often sharp enough to easily cut skin or break bones.
• Ski and wakeboard only in acceptable areas. Avoid restricted areas.
• The above mandates are not all-inclusive. It is the boater’s
responsibility 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, surfboards or recreational two-person 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 o of or dive o 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 obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or power lines.

EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The responsible boat owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, the decision regarding the appropriate equipment to take on individual outings is dependent upon the body of water and the length of the trip. We suggest the following equipment as a minimum (your MasterCraft dealer can also assist you with additional recommendations):
• Anchor with at least 75 feet of line (in saltwater operation, particularly)
• Manual bailing device for removing water
• Combination oar/boat hook
• Day-and-night visual distress signal
• First aid kit and manual
• Airway breathing tube
• Waterproof flashlight
• Non-electric horn or whistle
• Set of local navigational charts
• Mooring lines and fenders
• Extra engine oil
• Tool kit
• Portable, battery-operated AM/FM radio or weather radio/scanner
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be on-board your boat at all times. Responsible boaters carry additional equipment in case of emergency. It is your responsibility to check with the local boating authorities for any additional requirements and/or equipment over and above the federal requirements.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Your MasterCraft boat was equipped at the factory with most of the federally required safety equipment for inland waters (Class II, 26-foot-to-40-foot watercraft). This equipment includes:
• ABYC-approved (American Boat & Yacht Club) marine muers with water injection
• USCG-approved (United States Coast Guard) marine flame arrestor
• USCG-approved engine box ventilation with sparkless blower
• ABYC-approved electric horn sound-warning device
• USCG-approved inland lighting
• Automatic and manual fire extinguishers

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 24
SOUND PRODUCING DEVICES
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Meeting, crossing and overtaking situations, which will be described in some detail shortly, are examples of when sound signals are required. Recreational vessels are also required to sound signals during periods of reduced visibility. Your MasterCraft boat is equipped with a horn, but you may also purchase after­market devices in case of potential electrical disconnect or failure.
The following are standard signals when using a whistle:
• One prolonged blast: WARNING.
• One short blast: PASS ON MY PORT SIDE.
• Two short blasts: PASS ON MY STARBOARD SIDE.
• Three short blasts: MY ENGINES ARE IN REVERSE.
• Five or more blasts: DANGER!
NOTE: The requirement to carry a bell on board no longer applies to vessels operating on International Waters.
VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS
All vessels used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas and those waters connected directly to them up to a point where
Check with local authorities regarding the best visual distress signal for use in the area in which you will be boating.
Non-pyrotechnic devices may be allowed. These include an orange distress flag (day signal only) or an electric distress light (which is acceptable for night use). Use of these devices must still meet Coast Guard requirements, information for which is available online and from the Coast Guard.
Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light flashing at regular intervals from 50-70 times per minute is considered a distress signal. Such devices do NOT count toward meeting the visual distress signal requirement, however. Regulations prohibit display of visual distress signals on the water under any circumstances except when assistance is required to prevent immediate or potential danger to persons on board a vessel.
All distress signals have distinct advantages. No single device is ideal under all conditions or suitable for all purposes. Pyrotechnics are universally recognized as excellent distress signals. However, there is potential for injury and property damage if not properly handled. Particular care should be used in stowage of pyrotechnics if children will be on board. These devices produce a very hot flame and the residue can cause burns and ignite flammable materials.
a body of water is greater than two miles wide, must be equipped with U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals. Vessels owned in the United States but operating on the high seas must be equipped with U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals.
Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be Coast Guard-approved, in serviceable condition and readily accessible. This means that:
• They are marked with an expiration date. Expired signals may be carried as extra equipment, but cannot be counted toward meeting the visual distress signal requirement, since they may be unreliable.
• If pyrotechnic devices are selected, a minimum of three are required. That is, three signals for day use and three signals for night. Some pyrotechnic signals meet both day and night use requirements.
• Pyrotechnic devices should be stored in a cool, dry location, if possible. A watertight container painted red or orange and prominently marked “Distress Signals” or “Flares” is recommended.
U.S.C.G.-approved pyrotechnic visual distress signals and associated devices include pyrotechnic red flares, hand-held or aerial; pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand-held or floating, or launchers for aerial red meteors or parachute flares.

NAVIGATIONAL LIGHTS
Your MasterCraft boat is equipped with navigational lights. See the Guide to Individual Models section to determine the location of the navigational lights on your boat or verify with your dealer.
Anytime you are moving on the water between sunset and sunrise, you are required to have your navigational lights operating.
WARNING PLATES AND LABELS
Read and note ALL warning plates and labels from bow to stern, including those that are installed inside the engine compartment, lockers and under seating.
YOU MUST READ AND ADHERE TO ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN AND ON YOUR BOAT!

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 28
BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be as deadly as driving a car while under the influence!
Did you know:
• A boat operator is likely to become impaired more quickly than a vehicle driver, drink for drink?
• The penalties for BUI can include large fines, revocation of oper­ator privileges and serious jail time?
• The use of alcohol is involved in about one-third of all recreation­al boating fatalities?
It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in every state. The Coast Guard also enforces a federal law that prohibits BUI.
Alcohol aects judgment, vision, balance and coordination. These impairments increase the likelihood of accidents afloat for both boat operators and passengers. U.S. Coast Guard data shows that in boating deaths involving alcohol use, over half the victims cap­sized their boats and/or fell overboard.
Alcohol is even more hazardous on the water than on land. The marine environment of motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray accelerate a drinker’s impairment. These stressors cause fatigue that makes a boat operator’s coordination, judgment and reaction time decline even faster when using alcohol.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
A vessel underway, when hailed by a Coast Guard vessel, is required to heave to, or maneuver in such a manner that permits a boarding ocer to come aboard.
Other federal, state and local law enforcement ocials may board and examine a vessel. The Coast Guard may impose a civil penalty up to $1,000 for failure to comply with equipment requirements; failure to report a boating accident; or comply with other federal regulations. Failure to comply with the Inland Navigation Rules Act of 1980 can result in a civil penalty up to $5,000. Details of the Act are available online or through the U.S. Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
OPERATOR’S LICENSE
Some states are implementing operator’s license requirements. These requirements vary widely. Many states now have restrictions regarding age. If you are operating in a location where minors are allowed to operate the boat, careful supervision by an adult should be the rule of thumb always. Whether operating a boat locally or in a remote location, operators should annually verify with state and local authorities regarding whether a license or training is required.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Page 18
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 30
As a result of alcohol’s eects, a boat operator with a blood alcohol concentration of approximately .10 percent is estimated to be more than 10 times as likely to die in a boating accident than an operator with zero blood alcohol concentration. Passengers are also at great­ly increased risk for injury or death, especially if they are also using alcohol.
The Coast Guard and every state have stringent penalties for vio­lating BUI laws. Penalties can include large fines, suspension or re­vocation of boat operator privileges, and jail time. The Coast Guard and the states cooperate fully in enforcement in order to remove impaired boat operators from the waters.
In waters that are overseen solely by the states, the states have the authority to enforce their own BUI statutes. In state waters that are also subject to U.S. jurisdiction, there is concurrent jurisdiction. That means if a boater is apprehended under Federal law in these waters, the Coast Guard will (unless precluded by state law) request that state law enforcement ocers take the intoxicated boater into custody. Depending on the circumstances, the operator may be arrested. Penalties vary, but in many jurisdictions operators found guilty of BUI can expect a civil penalty of at least $1,000 or criminal penalty of $5,000, one year of imprisonment or both. Civil lawsuits in cases of property damage or injury/death to others can result in significantly more serious penalties.
Intoxication from drugs, including legal prescription drugs, is an equally serious matter and is dealt with as seriously as alcohol.
• A Person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid
• Damage to vessels and other property totals $2,000 or more (the amount may be lower in some states and territories; verify with local boating authorities)
• The Boat is destroyed
If the boat operator is deceased or unable to make the report, the boat owner is required to file the report.
Your responsibility does not end with your own craft. You are required by law to respond to any distress signal, visual or auditory. Render immediate assistance, EXCEPT in instances in which you and your passengers will be endangered or those situations that exceed your capabilities or the capabilities of your boat. Good Samaritan protection is provided to boaters who provide good faith assistance and protects them from civil liability for assistance given.
SPEEDING AND NOISE
Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits for operation of boats, including but not limited to no-wake zones. Noise regulations may also be imposed. It is the responsibility of the boat operator to be familiar with any and all laws and regulations and to obey them. The U.S. Coast Guard is an excellent source for this information, including penalties for failure to observe the requirements.
The owner of a vessel must notify the agency which issued the certificate of number within fifteen (15) days if the vessel is transferred, destroyed, abandoned, lost, stolen or recovered, or if the certificate of number is lost, destroyed or the owner’s address changed. If the certificate of number becomes invalid for any reason, it must be surrendered in the manner prescribed to the issuing authority within 15 days.
ACCIDENT REPORTING
Federal law requires the boat operator to file a boating accident report with the state reporting authority when, as a result of an occurrence that involves a boat or its equipment:
• A Person dies
• A Person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that indicate death or injury
REGISTRATION, NUMBERING AND DOCUMENTATION
Although it might not be immediately obvious as to how this re­lates to boating safety, in fact it can be critical in emergencies. All undocumented vessels equipped with propulsion machinery must be registered in the state of principal use. A certificate of number will be issued upon registering the vehicle. These numbers must be displayed on your vessel. The owner/operator of the vessel must carry a valid certificate of number whenever the vessel is in use. When moving to a new state of principal use, the certificate is valid for 60 days. Check with your state boating authority for registration requirements.
Numbers must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward half of the vessel. The validation stickers must be axed within six inches of the registration number. With the ex­ception of the vessel fee decal, no other letters or numbers may be displayed nearby. Lettering must be in plain, vertical block charac­ters of not less than three (3) inches in height. Spaces or hyphens between letter and number groupings must be equal to the width of a letter other than “i” or a number other than “1.”

RADIOSTELEPHONES
Improper use of a radio-telephone is a criminal oense. The use of obscene, indecent or profane language during radio communica­tions is punishable by a $10,000 fine, imprisonment for two years or both. Other penalties exist for misuse of a radio, such as improper use of Channel 16 VHF-FM, a calling and distress channel. It is not to be used for conversation or radio checks. Such communications should be conducted on an authorized channel.
REFUSE AND POLLUTION
There are stringent requirements regarding pollution, discharge of oil, discharge of garbage and the operation and discharge from san­itation devices. It is the boat owner’s and operator’s responsibility to determine laws and regulations and to ensure that those laws and regulations are respected and enforced.
Details are available through the U.S. Coast Guard.
The preceding information provides requirements within the United States territorial waters. Boats operated under other autonomous governmental agencies throughout the world will have their own legal requirements, including the international MARPOL Treaty.
Boat owners and operators are responsible for determining what those requirements are and complying with them, regardless of the owner/operator’s citizenship.
This Owner’s Manual was developed to help ensure an enjoyable boating experience 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 and other related ma­terial, and familiarizing yourself with the proper operation of the MasterCraft boat, always use common sense when boating.

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 34
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
distress alert with registration information to the responsible U.S. Coast Guard (or International) Rescue Coordination Center (RCC).
406MHz EPIRBs with GPS (internal or attached) also provide an immediate GPS position in the information passed to the RCC.
Geostationary satellites make detection almost immediate. If the EPIRB does not have the ability to provide a GPS position, the pro­cess to determine a position takes about an hour on average and almost always less than two hours. Satellite EPIRBs also include a homing beacon and strobe to help rescue forces quickly locate the distress scene.
Satellite beacons have significant coverage, alerting timeliness, position accuracy, and signaling advantages over other types of EPIRBs (121.5 MHz). Before purchasing or using something other than the 406 MHz EPIRB, be sure to understand the capabilities and limitations.
Further information and a complete listing of VHF channels and frequencies is available at: www.navcen.uscg.gov.
COMMUNICATIONS
The following applies to the Great Lakes and salt water boating:
When boating o-shore, carry communications gear such as a ma­rine VHF-FM and/or HF transceiver(s), appropriate to the operating area. Cellular phone coverage is available in many coastal areas. However, cellular phones should NOT be considered a substitute for VHF-FM marine band radios for emergency purposes.
In distress situations, press the VHF transmit button and clearly say: MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY. Follow this with the vessel name and/or description, the location, nature of emergency and number of people on-board. Then release the transmit button and wait for 10 seconds. If there is no response, repeat the MAYDAY call.
Satellite EPIRBs (406 MHz) are designed to quickly and reliably alert rescue forces, indicate an accurate distress position, and guide rescue units to the distress scene, even when all other com­munications fail.
When activated, the satellite EPIRB transmits a distress signal with a beacon-unique identifying code. The system detects the signal, calculates an accurate distress position, checks the unique iden­tifying code against the EPIRB registration database (vessel and point of contact information supplied by the owner) and routes the

INSURANCE
Even if someone else is operating the boat, the owner is generally held liable for any damages or injuries that occur. It is in the owner’s best interest to maintain sucient personal liability and property damage insurance on the boat in anticipation of potential judg­ments. Guarding against theft is another consideration.
WEATHER
Never leave the dock without first checking the local weather fore­cast. Weather information is available from television, radio, local newspaper, online or from a weather channel on a VHF radio.
At certain times of the year, weather can change rapidly and boaters should always keep an eye out for weather conditions.
While boating, pay attention to the following:
• Watch for cloud build-up, especially rapid, vertically rising clouds.
• Sudden drop in temperature.
• Sudden change in wind direction and/or speed.
FLOAT PLAN
A “float plan” is a written record indicating the planned destination and approximate length of time for the outing. Sample forms are available at the Coast Guard’s website. One should be completed and left with a relative or friend prior to each trip. In case of an emer­gency or failure to return within a reasonable period of time, perti­nent information will be available to assist local marine police or the Coast Guard in determining whether a search should be performed. Be sure to notify the float plan holder upon return.
STAYING AFLOAT
It is commonly believed that someone dressed in heavy clothing or waders will experience considerably more diculty staying afloat if they fall overboard. This is not true. Air trapped in clothing provides flotation and bending the knees will trap air in waders.
To stay afloat:
• Remain calm. Do not thrash about or try to remove clothing or footwear. This leads to exhaustion and increases the loss of air that may keep you afloat.
NAUTICAL CHARTS
Nautical charts are especially important to boaters planning trips, particularly on open waters. These charts show the nature and shape of the coast, depths of water, general configuration and character of the bottom of the body of water. Other markings on the nautical charts include prominent landmarks, port facilities, aids to navigation, and marine hazards. Changes brought about by people and nature require that nautical charts be constantly maintained and updated to aid safe navigation.
National Ocean Service (NOS) charts may be purchased either directly by mail from the NOS Distribution Branch or through an authorized agent. There are more than 1,700 nautical chart agents who sell them.
FAA/NATIONAL AERONAUTICAL CHARTING OFFICE
Distribution Division, AVN-530 1305 East-West Highway Silver Spring, MD 20910 Telephone: (301) 427-5000 Email: 9-AMC-aerochart@faa.gov http://naco.faa.gov/
• On-board barometers, where placed on-board by the boat owner, should be checked every two-to-three hours. A rising barometer indicates fair weather and a rise in wind velocity; a falling barometer indicates stormy or rainy weather.
What to do in severe weather:
• Reduce speed, keeping enough power to maintain headway.
• Put on PFDs.
• Turn on running lights.
• Head for the nearest shore or safe harbor that is safe to approach, if possible.
• Head bow of boat into waves at 45-degree angle, if possible.
• Keep bilges free of water.
• Seat passengers on bottom of the boat, near the centerline.
• If the engine fails, tie a sea anchor on a line from the bow of the boat to keep the boat headed into the waves. A bucket will work as a sea anchor in an emergency.
• Anchor the boat, if necessary.
• Seek shelter on-shore whenever possible. Particularly avoid riding out a storm that includes high wind and/or lightning, which is especially dangerous. Avoid contact with metal portions of the boat such as handrails, windshields, tower and cleats.
Page 22
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 38
• Keep your PFD on.
• Keep your knees bent.
• Float on your back and paddle slowly to safety.
COLD WATER SURVIVAL
Sudden immersion in cold water can induce rapid, uncontrolled breathing, cardiac arrest and other physical body conditions, which can lead to drowning. Always wearing a PFD will help survival in rapid immersion situations.
In other situations when entry into cold water is necessary:
• Wear a PFD.
• Button all clothing.
• Cover your head if possible and enter the water slowly.
• Keep your head out of the water if at all possible.
• Assume the Heat Escape Lessening Posture (HELP) position as taught within a Coast Guard-taught safety course. Information about HELP is available online.
Immersion in water speeds the loss of body heat and can lead to hypothermia, the abnormal lowering of internal body temperature. If a boat capsizes, it will likely float on or just below the surface.
ANCHORING
Anchoring is done for two principal reasons: first, to stop for fishing, swimming, lunch or an overnight stay, and secondly, to keep a boat from running aground in bad weather or as a result of engine failure.
When preparing to anchor, bring the bow of the vessel into the wind or current. Place the engine in neutral. When the boat comes to a stop, slowly lower the anchor. Do not throw the anchor over as it will tend to foul the anchor or tangle line. When the anchor line has been let out, back up away from the anchor with the engine in idle reverse to help set the anchor. After it is firmly set, use reference points (landmarks) in relation to the boat to be sure that the boat is not drifting. Check the points frequently.
To reduce the eects of hypothermia, get in or on the boat. Try to get as much of your body out of the water as possible. If you can’t get in the boat, a PFD will enable you to keep your head out of the water. This is very important because about 50 percent of body heat loss is from the head.
It may be possible to revive a drowning victim who has been under water for some time and shows no sign of life. Cases document instances where victims have been resuscitated after extended periods. Start CPR immediately and get the victim to a hospital as quickly as possible.
Immersion suits will delay the eects of hypothermia in cold water and are available through many retailers who specialize in sales of marine products. The suits should be stored and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
INFLATABLE LIFE RAFTS
An inflatable life raft can provide a survival platform for an extended period of time. Be sure the life raft is large enough for everyone on board when the boat operates o-shore. It should have the appro­priate emergency equipment pack and should be professionally serviced periodically, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Coast Guard-approved life rafts must meet a number of stringent material and performance standards.

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 40
GENERAL PRUDENTIAL RULE
This rule is called Rule 2 in the International Rules and says,
“In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.”
RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING VESSELS
There are three (3) main situations in which you may encounter oth­er vessels, and you must avoid a collision. These are:
• Meeting (you are approaching another vessel head-on).
• Crossing (you are traveling across the other vessel’s path).
• Overtaking (you are passing or being passed by another vessel).
STEERING AND SAILING RULES/ SOUND SIGNALS
Any time two (2) vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way. It is called the stand-on vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the give-way or burdened vessel.
These rules determine which vessel has the right of way, and accordingly, what each vessel should do.
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.
The vessel that does not have the right of way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, the give-way vessel should not cross in front of the stand-on vessel, but should slow down or change direction briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the stand-on operator can see what you are doing if you are operating the give-way vessel.
RULES OF THE OPEN WATER
Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that apply when driving a boat on the water. These rules are used internationally, and they are enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.
In various geographic locations, certain rules prevail that may be unique to the locale. Each state also has laws and boating limitations that may be applicable only within their boundaries. It is the operator’s responsibility to seek out this information and become familiar with all safety-related information, laws and rules governing boating operation.
The rules presented in this Owner’s Manual are condensed and have been provided for convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA), Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be using your boat. If you plan to travel—even for a short trip—you would be well-served to contact the regional USCGA, DMV or DNR in the area where you will be boating. Often, basic information is available through websites sponsored and prepared by these organizations and governing bodies.
Page 24
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 42
MEETING
If you are meeting another vessel head-on, and you are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right­of-way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. (This rule doesn’t apply if both of you can clear each other by continuing your set course and speed.)
CROSSING
When two (2) power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel that views the crossing vessel to the starboard (right) side must give way.
If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, you are the stand-on vessel, and provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way, maintain your course and direction.
OVERTAKING
If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way as you clear it, altering course and speed as necessary.
Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you are the stand-on vessel, and you should maintain your speed and direction so that the vessel can be steered around you.

SAILING VESSEL RIGHTOFWAY
Sailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:
• When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has the right-of-way.
• Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel.
• In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a channel. A sailing vessel that is underway but not using sails is considered a power vessel and should be treated like any other power vessel when determining right of way.
FISHING VESSEL RIGHTOFWAY
Under international rules, all vessels that are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be fishing vessels; however, boats with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels.
Fishing vessels have the right of way, regardless of position, but these vessels cannot impede the passage of other vessels in nar­row channels.
READING BUOYS AND OTHER MARKERS
The waters of the United States are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. The markers and buoys you encoun­ter will have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass when navigat­ing in a particular direction.
The Uniform State Waterway Marker System has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory information. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from a seaward direction while the boater is going toward the port. Red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and green buoys are passed on the port (left) side. When navigating out of port, your position to the buoys should be reversed: red buoys to port (left) and green buoys to starboard (right).
Uniform State Waterway Marker System
Green or Black Channel Marker Buoy: Traveling upstream, you should pass to the right of the buoy as it marks the left side of the channel.
Red Channel Marker Buoy: Traveling upstream, you should pass to the left of this buoy as it marks the right side of the channel.
Junction Buoy (Green over Red): Means two channels are coming together and you should pass to the right of the buoy as you travel upstream.
Junction Buoy (Red over Green): Means two channels are coming together and you should pass to the left of the buoy as you travel upstream.
Passing Daymark (Green): A sign mounted on poles in the water or on the bank which is used in the same manner as a channel marker buoy. In this case it marks the left side of the channel as you travel upstream.
Passing Daymark (Red): A sign mounted on poles in the water or on the bank which is used in the same manner as a channel marker buoy. In this case it marks the right side of the channel as you travel upstream.
Channel Crossing Daymark (Green): A sign mounted on poles in the water or on the bank which means the channel is crossing from the left bank to the right bank as you travel upstream.
OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONS
There are additional rules to remember when operating your boat around other vessels, such as:
• When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so.
• When preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct your view of other water vessels, you should sound a prolonged blast on the horn or with a whistle for four (4) to six (6) seconds. Even if no reply is heard, you should still proceed around the bend with caution.
Page 26
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 46
Channel Crossing Daymark (Red): A sign mounted on poles in the water or on the bank which means the channel is crossing from the right bank to the left bank as you travel upstream.
Boats Keep Out Buoy: Marks a swimming area, an area near a dam or any area where boats are not allowed.
Danger Buoy: Marks an obstruction, ferry cable, or any area where boats should not navigate or should use extreme caution.
Information Buoy: Used to relay information. Words printed in black (usually inside the border) tell place names, distances, directional arrows, availability of supplies, gasoline, etc.
Control Buoy: Marks a restricted area such as “slow no-wake,” “5 MPH, no skiing or no fishing.”
Mooring Buoy: Means an anchor buoy. This is the only buoy to which a boat may tie or secure to.
Diver’s Flag: Must be used any time a diver is in the water. Boats must not come closer than 50 feet of the flag and must operate at a slow, no-wake speed within 200 feet.
Alpha Flag: Means a vessel is engaged in diving operations or is re­stricted in its ability to navigate. Boaters must use extreme caution and are advised to look for a diver’s-down flag.
NOTE: Markings may vary by geographic location. For example, the Western Rivers System markers are slightly dierent, as well as in dierent states or jurisdictions. Always consult appropriate boating authorities before boating in unfamiliar waters.

DASHES AND VIDEO SCREENS
Page 41
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 76
Immediately following this introduction are photo images of the five types of instrument panels utilized on MasterCraft boats. Operators should match up the appropriate image with the actual instrument panel on your boat.
All boats, except the XStar and the NXT series, have gauges that provide critical read-out information that is also provided through the video screen(s). All functionality on the XStar and NXT appears only in the video screens.
Explanations of the gauges appear after the instrument panel illustrations. The video screen operations are broken down into X and XT Series information, which utilize a standard 4.5” screen or an optional 7” screen, the XStar, which uses two (2) 4.5” screens and a 7” screen, the ProStar, which uses a 7” screen, and the NXT, which uses a 4.5” screen. MasterCraft encourages all boat owners to go over the gauge and/or video screen operations with your authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating the boat.
Do not become distracted while utilizing multi-functional screens. Maintain situational awareness and do not change settings in crowded boating/swimming areas.
VARIATIONS IN GAUGES AND SWITCHES
Please note that not every gauge or switch explained in this Owner’s Manual is 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 that may be dierent from the gauges or switches pictured in this Owner’s Manual. These dierences between the various styles of gauges and switches are not in functionality. If a boat is equipped with a gauge or switch that is labeled as described, it will operate in the same fashion as the description, even if its appearance is dierent, as the appearance changes periodically.
If the owner and/or operators are uncertain about the purpose of a gauge or switch, do not operate the boat until consulting with an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Some gauges monitor information that is critical to safe and long-term use of the boat. Some switches can aect maneuverability, as well as operations that impact long­term use of the boat.

SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the forward speed of the boat in miles per hour (unless the boat is equipped with a speedometer that measures kilometers per hour, which is available in the optional European package.)
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in crankshaft revolutions per minute (RPM). See the Engine section of this Owner’s Manual for important information regarding proper operating RPM levels,
particularly during a boat break-in period.
3IN1 GAUGE: FUEL GAUGE
Upper Half of Gauge
Fuel gauge readings are approximate. This gauge is activated with the ignition switch. The rocking motion of the boat during normal operation will cause the fuel gauge to fluctu­ate. For a more accurate reading, make sure that the boat is level and there is little or no motion present.
A “low fuel” notice will come up on the video screen as a warning to return to shore and refuel. MasterCraft recommends that operators do not run the boat below a quarter of a tank, except as necessary to return to shore, and not until the boat has been operated enough times to develop an understanding of how the fuel gauge readings relate to the visual inspection of fuel remaining in the tank. Extend­ing fuel usage beyond the known capability of the boat may cause the boat to run out of fuel and may leave you stranded o-shore.
Although it may be possible to see fuel in the bottom of the fuel tank, you still may not be able to operate the boat. The fuel pick-up system was designed to avoid introducing the small amount of water and debris that unavoidably accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Rather than relying on visual inspection, you should pay atten­tion to the fuel gauge.
X AND XT SERIES ENGINE GAUGES
This section discusses the performance controls. Information is provided via traditional gauges; however, it (as well as some convenience and support data described elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual) is provided through a video screen located on the lower right (starboard) side of the instrument panel. Descriptions of the functionality of the video screen immediately follows.
MasterCraft strongly encourages you to review ALL instrumentation with your authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating the boat for the first time, and at any time during ownership you are uncertain as to proper and applicable functionality.

2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 84
Further, it is not recommended to allow the fuel to fall below one­quarter of a tank full at any time as it may result in damage to the fueling system. (See the Fueling section of this Owner’s Manual.)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of a tank full may aect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in damage to the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
3IN1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Lower Right Side
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the lubricating oil inside the engine. The average pressure ranges are between six (6) pounds per square inch (PSI) at 1000 RPM to 40 PSI or more at
cruise-range speeds. A reading of pressure below 5 PSI at 1000 RPM may be caused by a low oil level or other potentially serious problems that result in low oil pressure, causing a red warning light to appear at the bottom of the gauge.
If you experience low oil pressure, stop your engine immediately and check your oil level before operating again.
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is low. If you do, the engine may become so hot that it, or surrounding compo­nents, could catch fire. You or others could be burned and the boat seriously damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service depart­ment. Note that damage to your engine from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
3IN1 WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Lower Lef Side
The temperature gauge indicates the water temperature inside the engine’s cooling system as measured in degrees Fahrenheit. The normal operating temperature will range from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Engines with electronic fuel
injection also have a control circuit inside the engine control module that will cause the engine to run at reduced speeds if the module senses that the engine is running too hot. If you notice that your speed has reduced during normal operation, but you have not manually slowed the throttle, monitor your tem­perature gauge.
If the gauge indicates excessive temperatures during operation, slow down immediately and turn o the engine. This indicates an engine problem that needs to be checked by the dealer.
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is above normal operating parameters may cause serious damage to your engine. Damage to your engine resulting from operating the engine in an overheated condition can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty!

Fuel Management Sofware and Settings
The fuel management software in MasterCraft boats directly connects the boat operator to the management of their fuel. This system collects precision information on fuel flow levels from the engine controller. It then accurately calculates and displays the amount of fuel remaining based on engine activity and the usable size of the fuel tank.
As a safeguard, there is a back-up low fuel sensor that signals any discrepancies between the computer and the amount of fuel in the tank.
Using Fuel Management Sofware
Upon keying the boat on, the touchscreen display will ask the opera­tor if they have added fuel to the boat.
If the answer is no, tap CANCEL on the screen to close the fuel management system. If the answer is yes, tap YES on the screen.
open the fuel level entry page. Use the keypad and the +/- button to adjust to the correct amount of fuel. Use a positive value if more fuel needs to be entered, or use a negative value if too much fuel was entered.
When the fuel management system senses that fuel is getting low it will display a low fuel warning on the screen. When this warning is displayed, the boat will be able to run unballasted for approximately 20 minutes before running out of fuel. Empty all ballast tanks and immediately proceed to a fueling station before any further activity. Continuing to operate the boat with low fuel levels could leave users stranded oshore.
If an operator has inaccurately or mistakenly entered the fuel level, there is a sensor in the fuel tank that will override the entered fuel level when it senses low fuel. To avoid false readings, the sensor will only override the fuel management system when it detects a low fuel level for more than 30 seconds with the engine operating at less than 900 RPM.
To disable the fuel management software and rely on traditional fuel gauge readings:
• Push the Menu Hot Key on the HV700 screen.
• Tap User Settings.
• On the User Settings page select either ENABLE or DISABLE under
Fuel Management.
Disabling the fuel management software will allow the fuel gauge to read fuel levels directly from the fuel sensor on the fuel tank. Should operators wish to turn fuel management back on, the easiest way to do so requires enabling fuel management on the User Settings page, filling the boat with fuel and inputting FULL on the fuel entry screen.
When low fuel warning is displayed immediately empty all ballast tanks and proceed to the nearest fueling station.

PROSTAR ENGINE GAUGES
3IN1 GAUGE: FUEL GAUGE
Upper Half of Gauge
Fuel gauge readings are approximate. This gauge is activated with the ignition switch. The rocking motion of the boat during normal operation will cause the fuel gauge to fluctu­ate. For a more accurate reading, make sure that the boat is level and there is little or no motion present.
A “low fuel” notice will come up on the video screen as a warning to return to shore and refuel. MasterCraft recommends that operators do not run the boat below a quarter of a tank, except as necessary to return to shore, and not until the boat has been operated enough times to develop an understanding of how the fuel gauge readings relate to the visual inspection of fuel remaining in the tank. Extend­ing fuel usage beyond the known capability of the boat may cause the boat to run out of fuel and may leave you stranded o-shore.
Although it may be possible to see fuel in the bottom of the fuel tank, you still may not be able to operate the boat. The fuel pick-up system was designed to avoid introducing the small amount of water and debris that unavoidably accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Rather than relying on visual inspection, you should pay atten­tion to the fuel gauge.

PSIoF
Further, it is not recommended to allow the fuel to fall below one­quarter of a tank full at any time as it may result in damage to the fueling system. (See the Fueling section of this Owner’s Manual.)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of a tank full may aect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in damage to the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
3IN1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Lower Right Side
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the lubricating oil inside the engine. The average pressure ranges are between six (6) pounds per square inch (PSI) at 1000 RPM to 40 PSI or more at cruise-range speeds. A reading of pressure
below 5 PSI at 1000 RPM may be caused by a low oil level or other potentially serious problems that result in low oil pressure, causing a red warning light to appear at the bottom of the gauge.

PSIoF
Page 79
2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 152
If you experience low oil pressure, stop your engine immediately and check your oil level before operating again.
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is low. If you do, the engine may become so hot that it, or surrounding compo­nents, could catch fire. You or others could be burned and the boat seriously damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service depart­ment. Note that damage to your engine from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
3IN1 WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Lower Lef Side
The temperature gauge indicates the water temperature inside the engine’s cooling system as measured in degrees Fahrenheit. The normal operating temperature will range from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Engines with electronic fuel
injection also have a control circuit inside the engine control module that will cause the engine to run at reduced speeds if the module senses that the engine is running too hot. If you notice that your speed has reduced during normal operation, but you have not manually slowed the throttle, monitor your tem­perature gauge.
If the gauge indicates excessive temperatures during operation, slow down immediately and turn o the engine. This indicates an engine problem that needs to be checked by the dealer.
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is above normal operating parameters may cause serious damage to your engine. Damage to your engine resulting from operating the engine in an overheated condition can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.

G = Navigation/Anchor lights.
• Push the toggle switch UP to turn the lights ON.
• Return the toggle switch to CENTER (neutral) to turn the light OFF.
• Push the toggle switch DOWN to turn the anchor lights ON.
MasterCraft boats are designed for activities that should be con­ducted during daylight with good visibility. When operating at night or in limited visibility, turn on the navigation lights and slow down.
In limited visibility it is dicult to see and interpret the running lights of other boats, particularly with lights on-shore that are in the back­ground. Operating at slower speeds gives you the opportunity to see and be seen by others. Weather conditions during daylight may also result in the need to run or anchor with the lights on. When cir­cumstances require the operation of your MasterCraft boat at night or in limited visibility, activate the navigation lights, ensure that they are functioning and SLOW DOWN. Maintain a close watch for the navigation lights of other vessels and objects in the water. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. See the Visual Assistance section of the Boat Operations chapter.
H = Courtesy lights. This two-position toggle switch is pushed UP to turn ON, and DOWN to turn OFF.
E = Forward bilge pump.
F = Af bilge pump. The bilge pumps will be in the automatic mode
when the ignition key is turned ON. The manual and automatic bilge discharge system is never completely OFF. When in the automatic (default) position, a sensor alerts the system to discharge water from the bilge area. Boat opera- tors are advised to leave the switch in the automatic position, unless there appears to be excess water in the bilge. In that event, the bilge pump can be manually activated by turning the bilge pump switch to the manual ON position. Return the switch to the automatic position when finished emptying the bilge. Leaving the switch in manual mode can result in damage to the pump and may not be covered by warranty.
Failure to leave the bilge pump switches in AUTOMATIC mode can result in damage to the bilge pumps. The pumps will not shut OFF while in the MANUAL mode until the operator turns them OFF. Such damage is not covered under warranty. Malfunctioning pumps or pumps that do not work at all can result in excess water in the bilge, and eventually into the deck. Over time, this could result in sinking of the boat. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
PORT SIDE OF DASH
A = Fusion RA 205 AM/FM stereo system
(where equipped) with four (4) 6.5” JL Audio MX-Series speakers. (See separate, accompanying owners manual from the manufacturer for details regarding operation and care.) B = 12-volt receptacle. Note that any item plugged into the 12-volt receptacle draws power from the battery(ies). Depending on the item, long term use without the boat engine turned ON could result in excessive drain on the system, aecting the ability to start the engine.
C = USB/Auxiliary input.
Top Center of Dash
D = Blower switch. A two-position switch activates the engine box
ventilation blower. Push the toggle switch UP to turn the blower ON.
NOTE: The blower must operate for a minimum of four (4) minutes before starting the engine at any time.
The blower must also be operated during idle and slow-speed running, but is not necessary during cruising speed.
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 operate the blower as instructed may cause improper ventilation of the boat engine and bilge areas, and fuel vapors can accumulate in this area, causing a fire or explosion which may result in serious injury or death!

a dead battery could cause boaters to become stranded.
P = Attitude Adjustment Plate and NXT Wake Shaping Devices (when equipped). The Attitude Adjustment Plate has been
designed to improve the overall attitude of a boat. If used properly, the plate will improve the ride, reduce drag, increase speed and improve the fuel eciency of the boat.
The plate is mounted with the actuator on the transom of the boat. When the plate is lowered, the water flow is redirected, creating an upward force at the stern of the boat. When the stern rises, the bow will lower.
Since the actuator that maneuvers the plate is electromechanical, it provides an immediate response at the touch of the switch. The switch adjustments are based on the position of the bow, and are designed in that manner to minimize the guesswork while underway.
Press the switch DOWN to lower the bow. Press the switch UP to raise the bow.
Since our models have dierent weights, lengths, speed and performance, it will take some practice for the operator to understand how the boat reacts with the attitude adjustment plate installed. The plates will allow your boat to get on plane faster and continue planing at lower speeds. This will improve visibility and the overall safety of the boat. When making adjustments with the attitude adjustment plates, use short momentary taps of the
starting an outing, and removed at the conclusion. This is intended to prevent theft or unapproved use of the boat.
The process for starting the boat is:
• Insert the key and turn to the right (starboard). This turns ON the electrical system and prompts the battery(ies) to provide power.
• Turn the blower ON and allow it to run for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine.
• Momentarily press the ENGINE START-STOP button.
• Momentarily press the ENGINE START-STOP button to turn OFF the engine.
NOTE: This button aects only the engine. The electrical system will continue to operate as long as the key is turned. If the key is lef turned on afer the outing, it will eventually run down the battery(ies) and the engine, and all systems will not start as a result.
At the conclusion of the outing, turn the key OFF and remove from the key slot. Also, shut OFF the battery switch. Doing so will ensure that you have turned OFF the electrical system, and prevent others from starting or running the boat. Note that shutting OFF the key but failing to also turn OFF the battery switch will result in the electrical charge to the battery or batteries continuing to drain. Such drain will, in time, render the batteries unable to start the engine or run any electrical components on the boat. As noted elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual,
STARBOARD SIDE OF DASH
Tsunami Pump System
I = Ballast port tank switch.
J = Ballast center tank switch.
K = Ballast starboard tank switch.
The ballast tanks are filled and emptied by pressing the switches, which are clearly marked by tank designation above the three-po­sition switches. To fill, press the appropriate switch UP; to empty, press the appropriate switch DOWN. The center (or neutral) position is OFF and the pumps are inactive.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These switch controls and pumps do not operate AUTOMATICALLY! It is important for operators to return the switch­es to the center (or neutral) position after filling or emptying tanks
It is possible for operators to be aware when tanks are full as over­flow will exit the tanks through the overflow vents. When emptying, operators should pay attention to the vents. When the tanks are empty, water will cease to come out the vents.
Failure to maintain the ballast switches in the center or neutral position at all times other than when purposely filling or emptying the system(s) will result in permanent damage to the tsunami (ballast) pumps. This is not covered under warranty! In the event of the failure of the tsunami ballast pumps, the inability to empty the tank(s) of all water may result in more serious issues such as unanticipated eects on boat maneuverability, preventing the boat from being loaded on a trailer for towing and/or instability during towing of the boat due to the increased weight from the filled tank.
L = NXT Video Screen. See following section for information regarding operation. M = Ignition Key ON/OFF
N = Horn. The horn is sounded by means of a button on the

While operating attitude adjustment plates use caution. Improper use of plates can cause accidents, which may result in serious injury or death. While the boat is underway do not move one plate up or down significantly as this may cause listing. While at higher speeds do not over-trim, as this will cause the bow to lower quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed and may cause the boat to veer. When in following seas or when running an inlet, the plates should be fully retracted. This will allow for optimal performance.
ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATORS PROVIDE AN INSTANT RESPONSE. WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, USE SHORT MOMENTARY TAPS OF THE SWITCH.
switch. Continued practice will help you become familiar with how the plates perform.
NXT Wake Shaping Device switches: Press the LEFT side of the three-position switch to allow the boat to roll left. Press the RIGHT side of the three-position switch to allow the boat to roll right. Placing the switch in the center or neutral position maintains the devices in equal position, ceasing the roll to one side or the other.
Maneuvering a boat with the wake shaping devices deployed requires practice to master. Initial times running with either deployment should be done at low speed and with plenty of room. This is critical to learning how the devices aect control and maneuverability.
Electromechanical actuators provide an instant response. When making adjustments, use short momentary taps of the switch.
To raise all three (3) devices (the two [2] wake shaping devices and the one [1] attitude adjustment plate): press and hold the switch until the attitude plate equals 0% (zero percent). Re­lease, and then press again to raise the wake shaping devices to 0% (zero percent).
To raise one side, press the opposite side, i.e., to raise the right (starboard) side, press the left (port) side of the wake shaping device switch.
Special Conditions
Head Sea: Lower the plate by tapping slightly DOWN. This will bring the bow down while maintaining speed. This also allows the hull of the boat to absorb the impact of the waves. This adjustment will result in a more ecient and smoother ride. Changes should be made in small increments to ensure maintaining control of the boat.
Following Sea: Make sure the plate is fully retracted by pressing UP. This will bring the plate up to a fully retracted position, decreasing lift in the stern and allowing the bow to rise. If the plate is deployed, the bow may dig.
Shallow Water/Hole Shot: Lower the plate completely by pressing DOWN. This provides lift in the stern of the boat and will keep the bow down. As you throttle up and speed increases, raise the tab by pressing UP.
Uneven Load: If one side of the boat is higher than the other while running, press DOWN on the switch on that side. This will lower the tab on the listing side (low side) to bring the boat level.
Porpoising: To stop porpoising, press DOWN. The plate needs only to be deployed slightly to correct this adverse situation.
