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 boat-
ing authorities for any additional require-
ments and/or equipment over and above the
federal requirements.
Required Equipment
Your MasterCraft boat has been
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 mufers with water
injection;
• USCG-approved (United States Coast
Guard) marine ame arrestor;
• USCG-approved engine box ventilation
with sparkless power blower;
• ABYC-approved electric horn sound-
warning device; and
• USCG-approved inland lighting.
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 follow-
ing equipment as a minimum (your Mas-
terCraft dealer can also assist you with ad-
ditional recommendations):
• An anchor with at least 75 feet of line (in
saltwater operation, particularly);
• A manual bailing device for removing
water;
• A combination oar/boat hook;
• A day-and-night visual distress signal;
• A rst aid kit and manual;
• An airway breathing tube;
• A waterproof ashlight;
• A non-electric horn or whistle;
• A set of local navigational charts;
• Mooring lines and fenders;
• Extra engine oil;
• A tool kit; and
• A portable, battery-operated AM/FM ra-
dio or weather radio/scanner.
