Following the activation of the automatic
fire suppression system or a hand-held
fire extinguisher, a careful determination
should be made as to whether the boat can
safely be operated. If there is any doubt or
concern whatsoever, the boat should be
towed to shore and/or dock for service by
an authorized MasterCraf dealer prior to
operating again. Failure to follow these in-
structions could result in death or serious
injury/illness.
Troubleshooting:
1) If there is evidence of re in the engine
compartment of a V-drive boat and the
automatic re suppression system does
not activate, pull the manual override
(on domestic boats only). The over-
ride location is illustrated in the Guide
to Individual Models of this Owner’s
Manual. Boat owners should also con-
rm this location with the assistance of
an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
2) If the manual override does not de-
ploy, ensure all persons on-board are
equipped with PFDs (personal otation
devices). If there is time, send visual
and sound signals of the emergency.
All persons should abandon ship and
move to a safer location. Boats can be
consumed by re and even explode if
there are fuel fumes.
3) If a re begins in another location other
than the engine compartment, remove
the re extinguishers from their stor-
age location, activate them as indicated
above and attempt to put out the re.
Remain alert to the fact that a re near
or in the fuel tank or fuel lines is es-
pecially dangerous. Follow the instruc-
tions in 2) above if a fuel re begins or
if the re extinguisher(s) has not been
effective in putting out the re.
Never attempt to fight a fire with your
hands, feet, clothing or other material on-
board the boat, other than approved fire
suppression or fire extinguishing products
as specified by MasterCraf. Failure to fol-
low directions as outlined in this section
can result in serious injury or death.
