MasterCraft 2014 X46 User Manual

 It is desirable to keep the fuel’s tem-
peraturebelow80F.(26C.)Thegumming
will increase as temperatures increase.
 NotethatfuelstabilizersworkONLYin
freshgasoline.Stabilizerswillnotcureoxy-
genated gasoline. Adding a stabilizer when
the boat is being prepared for outings after
storage will NOT clean the gumming that
has occurred or remove water from the fuel
tank or otherwise eliminate any problems
thathaveoccurredduetofailuretoproperly
preparethefuelingsystemforstorage.
Engine manufacturers suggest using
Federal or State of California reformulated
gasoline whenever possible as it stores as
well or better than conventional gasoline.
Even quality gasoline that has been
properly prepared for storage should
never be stored for a period to exceed
one (1) year.
Fuel systems on all boats MUST be properly
prepared for storage periods exceeding two
(2) weeks, as outlined in this Owner’s Manu-
al. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
General Power Package Preparation
Step 1: Lubricate the throttle and shift
linkages and cables with multi-
purpose grease.
Step 2: MasterCraft recommends that
batteries be removed from the
boatforwinterstorage.Batteries
shouldbefullychargedbeforebe-
ingstoredinacool,drylocation,
protected from the elements and
fully re-chargedbefore being re-
installed in the boat. Never store
batteries close to heat, spark or
ame-producing devices.
Step 3: Leave the engine box cover
propped open about two inches
(2”) to ventilate the engine com-
partment.
Other Winterization Preparations
Step 1: Removethe bilge drain plugim-
mediatelyaftertakingtheboatout
of the water. After a general bow-
to-stern washing, raise the bow
of the boat higher than the stern
to allow as much water as possi-
ble to drain from the bilge, while
performing other storage prepara-
tions.
Step 2: Thoroughly clean the hull, deck
and interior of the boat as soon
as it is removed from the water.
Cleaning at this time is easier be-
cause any marine growth is still
wet.Besuretoallowafewdays
of air drying to prevent mildew
that results from trapped mois-
ture. (See the Cleaning section of
this Owners Manual.)
Step 3: Applyacoatofwaxtotheentire
surface of the boat. We suggest
MasterCraft Premium Marine
Wax for excellent coverage.
Step 4: Iftheboatisequippedwithaheat-
er, shower or ballast bags/tanks,
be sure to disconnect the hoses
anddrainanyremainingwaterin
the lines to avoid freezing. Even
smallamountsofwaterinanyof
these areas can cause signicant
damage upon freezing, and such
damage is not covered under the
warranty!
