Annually
(Every One Hundred [100] Hours)
MasterCraft recommends that your an-
nual—or one hundred (100) hour—main-
tenance requirements be performed by an
authorized MasterCraft dealer. The staff
there has the proper equipment and techni-
caltrainingtobestmeetyourserviceneeds.
Annual Maintenance
Some boat owners choose to person-
ally execute some maintenance proce-
dures on their boats. MasterCraft has
provided information on several proce-
dures. For safety reasons, a few must be
performed by authorized MasterCraft
service technicians only, such as any-
thing involving checks and repairs on
the fuel line, which is under pressure.
These matters must be addressed on
a regular basis, at one hundred (100)
hours or annually, whichever comes rst,
and these procedures are in addition to
seasonal preparation and winterization
(see Storage and Winterization section for
additional details). All of these issues are
extremely important to continued boat-
ing pleasure, as well as long life for the
boat, and the critical matter of safety.
Even if the annual maintenance work
is completed by an authorized Master-
Craft service technician, boat owners
and operators should still review this
section and ensure that they have some
understanding of what is necessary to
keep the boat in top condition.
Check the Engine Mounts
Some engine parts become very hot during
operation. This inspection must be complet-
ed while the engine is cool to prevent burns
to your skin. Perform this task before start-
ing the boat.
