3) If the joystick, pump and valves are all
operational but there is still no action,
check to be certain there is no debris in
the inlet screen.
4) If the bow thruster still is not operating
properly, take the boat to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer because other poten-
tial solutions are in areas of the boat not
accessible to the consumer.
Zinc Anode
Models:
All, as part of the Salt Water Package
option.
Purpose:
If the boat is operated in salt, pol-
luted or brackish waters, even temporar-
ily, the boat should be equipped with a
transom-mounted zinc anode to prevent
damage to those metal parts coming in
contact with the water.
The zinc is, by design, self-sacric-
ing. It is slowly eroded away by electro-
lytic action and requires periodic inspec-
tion for deterioration. When the zinc has
eroded to approximately one-half (1/2)
of its original size, it must be replaced to
continue protection, or damage to other
metal parts may result.
Location:
The anode is mounted on the tran-
som.
Operation:
There is no operation required. Boat
owners should periodically examine the
anode to determine how much erosion
has occurred and consult an authorized
MasterCraft dealer to determine the ap-
propriate time to replace it.
