COMMON SENSE APPROACH

The Common Sense Approach
The previous pages of this manual have been developed to help ensure an enjoyable experience as you
boat, wakeboard and ski with your MasterCraft boat. As stated earlier, this information is not all-inclusive.
There are many other factors to consider and additional information that you need to research before under-
taking any boating.
Beyond the study involved, you should also always use common sense when boating. For example, when
anchoring your boat so that you can enjoy swimming, you MUST turn the engine OFF. Exhaust fumes are
emitted from the exhaust flap area of the transom, immediately below the swim platform. No one should ever be
on the swim platform while the engine is in operation. Nor should individuals ever be towed while holding on to
the swim platform or transom.
MasterCraft also strongly encourages individuals to wear Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs). In many states,
it is a legal requirement for children to wear them. Non-swimmers of any age should never be without one.
Your MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless hours of family fun and building friendships. But it
works only if YOU use your head before, during and after your boating.
Now, go out there and HAVE SOME FUN!
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous
gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death.
Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes.
Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not
be ignored because the effects of expsoure to carbon monoxide are
cumulative and can be just as lethal as at high concentrations. Carbon
monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard engines may
build up inside and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents. STAY
AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are loacted at the stern
of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports or other
activties in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limi-
tation, the swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in
operation. Under no circumstances should “teak surfing” or similar
activities be performed during the operation of your MasterCraft
boat–such activities are a misuse of this product.
