no motion present.
A “low fuel” notice will come up on the
video screen as a warning to return to shore
and refuel. MasterCraft recommends that
operators do not run the boat below a quar-
ter of a tank, except as necessary to return to
shore, and not until the boat has been oper-
ated enough times to develop an understand-
ing of how the fuel gauge readings relate to
the visual inspection of fuel remaining in
the tank. Extending fuel usage beyond the
known capability of the boat may cause the
boat to run out of fuel and may leave you
stranded off-shore.
Although it may be possible to see fuel
in the bottom of the fuel tank, you still may
not be able to operate the boat. The fuel
pick-up system was designed to avoid intro-
ducing the small amount of water and debris
that unavoidably accumulate in the bottom
of the tank. Rather than relying on visual
inspection, you should pay attention to the
fuel gauge.
Further, it is not recommended to al-
low the fuel to fall below one-quarter of
a tank full at any time as it may result
in damage to the fueling system. (See the
Fueling section of this Owner’s Manual.)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall
below one-quarter of a tank full may aect
the reliability of the fuel pump or result in
damage to the fuel pump, which is not cov-
ered under warranty.
3-in-1 Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
(Lower right side)
The engine oil pressure
gauge indicates the pres-
sure of the lubricating oil
inside the engine. The av-
erage pressure ranges are
between six (6) pounds per
square inch (PSI) at 1000
RPM to 40 PSI or more at cruise-range
speeds. A reading of pressure below 5 PSI
at 1000 RPM may be caused by a low oil
level or other potentially serious problems
that result in low oil pressure, causing a red
warning light to appear at the bottom of the
gauge. If you experience low oil pressure,
stop your engine immediately and check
your oil level before operating again.
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. If you do, the engine may be-
come so hot that it, or surrounding compo-
nents, could catch fire. You or others could
be burned and the boat seriously damaged.
Check your oil level and add an appropriate
amount of approved motor oil before oper-
ating again or have your boat serviced by
your local authorized dealer’s service de-
partment. Note that damage to your engine
from inappropriate oil levels can be costly to
repair. Such damage is not covered by your
warranty.
3-in-1 Water Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge
indicates the water tem-
perature inside the engine’s
cooling system as measured
in degrees Fahrenheit. The
