Canvas Covers
One of the most popular options for
MasterCraft boats are the variety of
canvas covers available. Speak with an
authorized MasterCraft dealer for details
about what is available for each model.
MasterCraft strongly recommends hav-
ing an authorized MasterCraft dealer
perform the installation as snap instal-
lation can cause “crazing” (unwanted
spider-web-like lines in the gel coat) if
the installation is not done correctly.
On-going care of the canvas is
required to keep the material in good
condition for the life of the boat. See Cleaning the Boat section of this Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Note that towing with unapproved covers on the boat may result in damage to the gel
coat. MasterCraft recommends the use of our towable cover only for towing. Other can-
vas and covers have been developed and are available only through authorized Master-
Craft dealers for a variety of uses.
The use of canvas covers, especially darkly
colored ones, in hot, sunny conditions, can
result in temperatures, inside the boat, in
excess of 140oF/60oC. Prolonged high tem-
peratures can heat interior metal and other
surfaces to the point that brief contact with
the skin may cause serious burns. Carefully remove the cover and allow the
interior to ventilate and cool before allowing anyone inboard.
Coolers
On many models, a removable cooler is
included, particularly on models that do
not have cold plates or a refrigerator. As
with any similar Igloo-type cooler, routine
cleaning with warm soapy water is ad-
vised after each use. Check also whether
anything from inside the cooler has been
spilled or in some manner ended up in the
storage area in which the cooler is kept.
This should be cleaned up immediately to
avoid mold, mildew, stains or other dam-
age that is not covered under warranty.
Food items or anything that can create
an odor should not be left in the cooler. Neither should anything that can leak be left in
these units as they could potentially damage the cooler, and this
type of damage is not covered under warranty.
Engine Flush
Boats that will be operated in salt water (or brackish fresh water)
need to be rinsed after every use, including internal engine parts
where water has been drawn. This optional installation allows for
quick and easy connection to a shore-side garden hose or similar
hose to quickly and easily flush the engine. See the ILMOR Engine
Owner’s Manual for additional details regarding this important
function. The flush connection is located on the transom.
