Ignition
Ignition Key Slot
Models:
All.
Purpose:
The key is for safety and security. The
key should be inserted prior to starting
an outing, and removed at the conclu-
sion. This is intended to prevent theft
or unapproved use of the boat.
Boats are equipped with an ignition
key, which must be inserted in the igni-
tion key slot and used to activate the
boat’s electrical system. This, in turn,
will allow the boat to be started and op-
erated. The key will be in one of two
(2) positions:
• OFF
• ON (electrical power is ON)
Location:
The ignition key slot is located on the
dash or driver’s arm rest.
Operation:
Insert the key into the key slot. Turn
the key ON. Never start the engine
without having rst run the blower
for at least four (4) minutes. Never
leave the ignition switch in the ON po-
sition without the engine running, as
this will cause the battery to discharge.
Troubleshooting:
If the key will not turn after being in-
serted in the key slot, it is likely to be
the wrong key.
If the key turns but no electrical
power occurs, check the voltmeter for
a reading. If it is lower than 10.5 volts
or does not register, the battery(ies)
require recharging. Use only a Master-
Craft battery charger. DO NOT attempt
to jump start the battery from a vehicle
