prompts the battery(ies) to provide power.)
• Turn the blower ON and allow it to run for at least four (4) minutes
before starting the engine.
• Momentarily press the engine START-STOP button.
• When it is time to turn the engine OFF, press and hold for three
(3) seconds the START-STOP button. If the button is held for
less than three (3) seconds, the engine will not turn OFF. This is
a system design to avoid shutting o the engine if the button is
inadvertently pressed or hit during operation.
Special Attention
This button aects only the engine. The electrical system will con-
tinue to operate as long as the key is turned ON.
If the key is left turned in the ON position after the outing, it will
eventually run down the battery(ies) and the engine and all systems
will not start as a result.
At the conclusion of the outing, turn the key to the OFF position and
remove from the key slot. Doing so will ensure that you have shut
down the electrical system, and it will prevent others from starting
or running the boat.
Troubleshooting
If the key switch is in the ON position and the engine will not start by
pressing the START-STOP BUTTON, check the voltmeter for a read-
ing. If it is lower than 10.5 volts or does not register, the battery(ies)
require recharging. Use only a MasterCraft battery charger. DO NOT
attempt to jump start the battery from a vehicle or another boat
because this can cause an overload of the electrical system.
