system should be ushed with fresh water
for at least ten (10) minutes after each use
in such waters.
Boats operated continuously in salt
water should be equipped with the closed
cooling system to preserve engine life.
Marine Growth
If accelerated marine growth is a problem
in the area in which the boat will generally
be operated, an anti-fouling bottom paint
may be necessary to slow growth while
protecting the gel coat.
Before selecting a bottom paint, talk
with other boaters and an authorized
MasterCraft dealer’s service department
to determine the product that works best in
the area. Many local variables may also af-
fect the selection of paint. Be sure to follow
the paint manufacturer’s directions exactly.
Be sure all fasteners used are approved and
rated for marine use. Most fasteners used
on MasterCraf boats are stainless steel or
specially coated to resist corrosion.
Use of improper parts may cause compo-
nent or engine failure. Such failure may re-
sult in death or serious injury!
Stainless Steel and
Chrome/Anodized Aluminum
Stainless steel, chrome-plated and anodized
aluminum parts are not totally resistant to
corrosion. Occasional cleaning and polish-
ing with a marine chrome-and-stainless pol-
ish will maintain and extend the life of these
parts. In salt water areas, it is imperative that
you thoroughly rinse all hardware with fresh
water and apply a light coating of protective
oil to enhance the appearance after each use.
Exposure to salt water will cause corro-
sion leading to significant damage to stain-
less steel, chrome and anodized aluminum
parts. Failure to thoroughly rinse salt water
from all hardware, and to apply protective
oil afer each exposure to salt water, will
accelerate the corrosion of hardware and
will void your warranty.
