Electromechanical actuators provide an in-

Ballast Systems
Models:
Standard on all boats, but may op-
tionally be canceled during boat order
process. Ballast tanks cannot be re-
moved after the boat has been built due
to tight tolerances for t between the
deck and hull.
Purpose:
Ballast systems were specially de-
signed for each model of MasterCraft
boats to enhance enjoyment of boat-
ing. By creating deeper, more dynamic
waves in the wake, boarding enthusiasts
with skills ranging from beginners to
professional boarders have discovered
more enjoyable, even record-setting ex-
periences. For simple outings and quick-
er reaction by the boat, ballast systems
can be left empty. Filling ballast tanks,
however, sets the stage for exciting and
fun experiences.
Location:
Ballast tanks are located between
deck and hull, out-of-sight. Ballast ll
and empty locations are underwater
and should be kept clear of debris. (See
Care and Maintenance section of this
Owner’s Manual for more detail.) Bal-
last overow locations are on the side of
the boat. Depending on the model, the
overow may be on the bow or the gun-
nel. (See Guide to Individual Models in
this Owner’s Manual to determine the
location of ballast overow.) Fill, empty
and overow locations should never be
obstructed.
In addition to the manual switch on
the driver’s armrest, control may also
be available through the Video Display
Gauge. (See Video Display Gauge sec-
tion of this Owner’s Manual.)
Operation:
The three-position switches and ro-
tary controls are clearly marked: FILL,
OFF (in center), and EMPTY. Turn the
switch in the direction desired. Be cer-
tain to return the switch to OFF when
