Using Care When Fueling
MasterCraft boats are equipped with a
highly innovative fuel system. This system
is designed to provide years of trouble-free
service. Some of the latest innovations re-
lated to fuel handling safety are also incor-
porated into the fuel delivery system.
The fuel pump system in your boat was
specically designed for the marine envi-
ronment and contains a number of added
safety components that are unique to the
marine environment. Because of the spe-
cial nature of the design, there are no
user-serviceable parts. Any parts in need
of service or maintenance will need to be
addressed by an authorized MasterCraft
dealer. An authorized MasterCraft dealer is
equipped with the special tools necessary
to disassemble and service the fuel capsule
and associated parts. Replacement parts
must meet OEM requirements as specied
by MasterCraft.
The fuel line in the boat’s bilge area that
goes from the tank to the engine is a spe-
cial multi-layer armored line that is cov-
ered with a special material known as a re
sleeve. The re sleeve affords protection to
the fuel line in the unlikely event of a boat
re. The sleeve is colored orange for easy
identication of the fuel line.
During the rst time the fuel tank is
lled, the process will be very slow. Air is
being displaced in the system. In all sub-
sequent fuel-lling, the process will take
about the same amount of time as it does to
ll a land-based vehicle.
During refueling you should reason-
ably expect to avoid having any fuel
spit-back or well-back when using an
automatic shut-off fuel pump nozzle. All
land-based gas stations in North America
are required to use these; some marinas
may not. Therefore, we recommend that
