What Type of Gasoline To Use
MasterCraft boats are equipped with
ILMOR Marine Engines, the nest quality
power plant in the industry. ILMOR sup-
plies an Owner’s Manual with the purchase
of the boat. Additional, very critical infor-
mation regarding the proper use of gasoline
in relation to the ILMOR Marine Engine is
contained in the engine owner’s manual,
including but not limited to:
• what type of gasoline to use;
• avoiding oxygenated fuels or fuels with
alcohol;
• what to do when the boat is not used for
a while; and
• fueling outside the United States and
Canada.
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality
gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating
below the minimum level listed for ILMOR
MV8 engines will void the warranty on the
engine.

Extended storage with fuel in the system
can aect fuel stability and may require
system inspection and fuel filter replace-
ment when the boat returns to service.
Troubleshooting the Fuel System
Problem:
Fuel pump does not run when the en-
gine START-STOP button is pressed.
Potential cause: Pump may not be re-
ceiving sufcient voltage to the pump, or
there may be corrosion interfering with
the electrical impulse.
Remedy: Take the boat to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer. Only the dealer has the
specialized, required tools to correct the
problem.
Problem:
The sound of the fuel pump running
is audible but the engine does not start.
