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
or another boat because this can cause
an overload of the boat’s electrical sys-
tem, resulting in signicant damage to
the boat that is not covered under the

Attempting to jump start a battery or bat-
teries on a MasterCraf boat, regardless
of battery brand, from a vehicle or another
boat can cause an overload to the boat’s
electrical system, resulting in significant
damage to the electrical system. This is not
covered under warranty!
If sufcient charge appears available,
also check:
a) the throttle is in neutral, and
b) the engine emergency safety stop
switch is attached and operational as
explained in the next section.
Engine Emergency
Safety Stop Switch
Models:
All.
Purpose:
The engine
emergency safe-
ty stop switch,
which is attached
to a lanyard, is an
ignition cut-off
switch designed
to stop the en-
gine in the event
the operator is
thrown or moves
away from the
helm. The lanyard
is equipped with a
hook on one end
that should be at-
tached to your clothing or PFD, and the
opposite end has a slide that ts over the
ignition switch. Be sure that the slide is
rmly attached to the ignition switch be-
fore starting the engine.
Location:
The engine emergency safety stop
connection is located near the throttle
control box, the armrest or on the in-
strument panel. If the slide is left off or
is loose, the engine will crank but will
not start.
Operators should NEVER attempt
to override this safety system!
Troubleshooting:
If the lanyard between the engine
emergency safety stop becomes unat-
tached from the connection point, the
engine will shut down. Reattach the en-
gine emergency safety stop and restart
the engine.
The safety switch lanyard must be attached
to the operator whenever the engine is run-
ning. Attempting to override this system
may result in death or serious injury!
