top deck sides of the bow, and aft near
the transom. Some larger models also
have mid-ship cleats. Some cleats are
elevated slightly above the deck while
others are pop-up cleats that t ush
with the deck when not in use.
Operation:
Use marine-grade lines to loop over
the cleat and tie up to the dock, allow-
ing some slack in the rope. If there is
any motion in the body of water, Mas-
terCraft recommends also purchasing
“fenders” from an aftermarket supplier
to provide a cushion between the boat
and the dock. Without a cushion, the
boat’s nishes–gel coat and graphics–
can be damaged. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
The boat should be tied to docks with ma-
rine-grade lines ONLY to the cleats, and al-
lowing some slack. Never tie-up the boat to
the tower, mirror, seats or any other part of
the boat. If the ability exists to tie up to all
cleats on the side nearest to the dock, op-
erators should do so. MasterCraf also rec-
ommends using fenders to cushion the side
of the boat in the event of water motion.
Otherwise, the boat gel coat and graphics
may be damaged, and such damage is not
covered under the warranty.
Horn
Models:
All.
Purpose:
The horn allows the boat operator to
alert other boaters by way of a well-
known and loud sound.
Location:
The horn is sounded by means of a
button on the instrument panel or driv-
er’s armrest. It is a red button.
Operation:
Pressing the button emits a loud and
recognizable noise.
Troubleshooting:
If the horn does not sound, check
the main circuit breaker panel to see
whether the circuit has tripped and
needs to be re-set. If the circuit does
not require re-setting, there may be an
issue elsewhere in the system. Present
the boat to an authorized MasterCraft
dealer for repair.
Mirrors
Models:
All. In addition to the standard mir-
ror, an optional mirror featuring differ-
ent styling is also available. All mirrors
function in the same fashion.
