because each fuse is usable only once.
When the electrical ow is interrupted
through a fuse, it then has to be replaced
rather than reset. However, there are a
few instances in which a fuse is pref-
erable. Access to these fuses is very
limited and they should be replaced by
an authorized MasterCraft dealer. Cur-
rently, the fuses are for amps at the bat-
tery switch panel, and inline fuses for
the fuel pump at the engine.
Location:
The location of the main circuit
breaker board is under the dash panel
closeout, facing aft, except on the
XStar, which does not have this panel.
In some models, there is an additional
breaker panel to assist with the acces-
sory load, and where equipped, it is lo-
cated near the battery box. There may
also be a waterproof fuse for the stereo
amplier, where equipped. If the boat’s
accessories are malfunctioning, check
and then re-set breakers as necessary.
The XStar features digital switch-
ing. Instead of a breaker panel, there
are four (4) PDM breakers and a main
breaker that are located on the battery
shut-off switch panel beneath the port
aft seating.
The engine also has a fuse box that
contains a variety of 10-30 amp fuses,
located in the engine compartment on
the engine.
If you suspect that any of these fuses
may not be operating as designed, you
should take your boat to your autho-
rized MasterCraft service department
for inspection and repair.
If during maintenance or inspection
it becomes necessary to remove or re-
position any of the engine’s wiring or
wire harness(es), verify that the wiring
has been returned to its original posi-
tion and that all harnesses are routed
correctly before attempting to use the
boat again. If a wiring clip or retainer
breaks, replace it immediately. Wiring
is specically routed to eliminate prob-
lems related to engine heat, and spray
or immersion in liquids. Electrical
problems may result if wiring is moved
from its original position!
Operation:
On all models except the XStar, if a
problem develops with one of the cir-
cuits, switch OFF the circuit and wait
for approximately one (1) minute.
Then fully push the appropriate break-
er button and switch ON the circuit. If
