2007 MasterCraft Owners Manual - Page 15-7
The 2007 models are equipped with a low-voltage battery alarm. In the event that
the stereo has been functioning when the boat is not ON and running, the voltage drain

voltage level reaches a set level of 11.5 volts, the system will shut off the stereo system and
sound the alarm for a period of two minutes to give boats ample time to adjust.
If you have a dead battery, charge it with a battery charger before attempting to
start the engine. Jump-starting from another boat or battery is dangerous. Charging a dead
battery with the alternator on your engine will put undue stress on the alternator, which may
cause it to fail.
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all
sparks, flames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery can
cause an electrical charge or even an explosion of the battery which could cause serious injury or death.
Crossing cables or jumper cables can result in damage to the electrical components due to incorrect battery connec-
tions. Such damages are not covered by your warranty.
Check the Engine Oil Level
Because you will get an accurate reading only after
the engine has run long enough to thoroughly warm up (to at
least 140 degrees F), this should be one of the last checks you
conduct before boating. Run the engine in the water. If you are
checking the transmission  uid at the same time, run the engine
at least fi ve minutes in the water (to warm the transmission  u-
id), and check the  uid immediately after shutting down to get
an accurate reading for that. As long as you will be checking
the oil fairly quickly (within two minutes of shutting off), there is
no need to re-start and run the engine again.
Step 1: After operating the engine at idle while in the water
for at least three minutes or until warm, turn the engine
OFF and disconnect the engine safety starting switch.
Open the engine compartment. The engine oil dipstick
is located on one side of the engine.
Step 2: Allow two minutes before checking. Then remove the
dipstick and wipe it off. Insert it fully and immediately
remove. Check that the oil lever is between the ADD
and SAFE marks on the dipstick.
Step 3: Add oil, if necessary, through the valve cover and
only enough to bring to the SAFE mark on the dip-
stick. Overfi ll may result in damage to the en-
gine that is not covered by warranty. Use SAE
15W40, API SJ/CH4 oil. 20W40 oil may be substi-
tuted but only if it meets the API SJ/CH4 standards.
Below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, use SAE 10W30 SJ/CD
type oil if the engine will be running. DO NOT USE
OIL ADDITIVES AT ANY TIME.
