2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 326
ant to follow EXACTLY the break-in procedure as outlined in the
engine owner’s manual.
Engine manufacturers have detailed and specific requirements for
proper engine break-in. That information is found in the engine man-
ual supplied, and must be followed exactly as indicated. Failure to
do so could cause engine damage and/or failure that is not covered
under warranty.
Afer Break-In
Once the break-in period is over, the boat may be operated contin-
uously at any speed, but not beyond the maximum indicated in the
engine owner’s manual.
The engines are equipped with rev-limiters which will cause a
fluttering when reached. If the boat has the correct propeller set-up,
operators should never reach the limiter, but if that happens, it is a
signal that you should reduce the throttle and check with an autho-
rized MasterCraft dealer to determine the cause. Always remem-
ber that during normal operation you should allow the engine to
warm up gradually. Be sure the engine is warm before accelerating.
Pay careful attention to the gauges and video screen(s). Also, check
the oil level frequently during the first fifty (50) hours of operation
since the piston rings and cylinders require that much time to seat
properly.
See the Scheduled Maintenance Checks and Services section for
more details.
Failure to follow the engine oil recommendations listed in the
engine owner’s manual can cause additional engine wear and
increase the possibility of engine component failure. Damage to the
engine due to incorrect oil usage can be costly to repair, and it is
not covered by the warranty!
