All
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a fire
inside can cause the fire to flare up and/or spread, which may
result in serious injury or death to people onboard.
Never attempt to fight a fire with your hands, feet, clothing
or other material on-board the boat, other than approved fire
suppression or fire extinguishing products as specified by
MasterCraft. Failure to follow directions as outlined in this section
can result in serious injury or death.
Purpose
MasterCraft has developed an extensive fire suppression and ex-
tinguishing system for its boats. All MasterCraft boats are equipped
with an automatic fire suppression system. The automatic system
operates from sensors in the engine room and will automatically re-
lease a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that does not leave residue
behind. All boats have also been specified to carry a hand-held 2.5
lb. monoammonium phosphate expellant (dry chemical) unit, which
is rated Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (UL Approved) and
Class C (energized electrical equipment). These units should be
used in situations other than engine compartment fires.
This is in addition to the suppression system in the engine compart-
ment. Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as soon as
possible after use, or after 12 years from the date of manufacture.
In the event of any evidence of a fire within the engine compart-
ment, DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (BOX).
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a fire
inside can cause the fire to flare up and/or spread, which may result
in extensive damage or even sinking of the boat and/or serious inju-
ry or death to people on board. Shut down the engine and blowers.
Continuously discharge the entire contents of the fire suppression
unit immediately.
