2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 400
Special Care Notice
The swim platforms on the NXT20 Global Edition feature
MasterCraft’s Garapa Gold finish and requires regular care to retain
its luster and finish. See the “CARE AND MAINTENANCE” chapter of
the MasterCraft Owner’s Manual for important care requirements.
Failure to follow instructions can result in damage to the platform
that is not covered under warranty.
Troubleshooting
If at any time the swim platform does not feel secure (there should
be no noticeable movement or “play” in relation to the rest of the
boat), immediately leave the swim platform. Verify that the platform
is fastened as designed. If it is not, stop using the swim platform
and take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for repair.
ENGINE KICKSTAND
Models
NXT20 Global Edition equipped with optional 175 HP and 225HP
engines.
Purpose
The engine mounted kickstand on Mercury’s 225 horsepower
engine helps stabilize the engine unit while being shipped or towed,
and will reduce stress on the engine mount itself.
Location
Push knob visible from the starboard side, the kickstand is only
visible with engine unit trimmed up. The kickstand is mounted on
the engine unit between the engine and the mounting bracket,
between the hydraulic cylinders.
Operation
To deploy the engine’s kickstand:
1. With the engine o and the boat out of the water, trim the motor
up as far as it will go on the helm trim switch, and straighten the
engine so it is pointed straight forward and aft.
2. On the starboard side of the motor press in on the kickstand knob
and rotate the kickstand down so that it presses up against the
motor mount.
3. Trim the motor down so that the kickstand rests on the lip of the
motor mount and the engine is secure.
