terly—or fty (50) hour—maintenance re-
quirements be performed by an authorized

tion. is maintenance must be completed while
the engine is cool to prevent burns to your skin.
Perform this task before starting the boat.

gine safety starting switch is disconnected. Be certain
that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. The
engine must be cool.
Step 2: Disconnect the positive (+) battery terminal.
Step 3: Open the engine cover and locate the starter
on the lower starboard side of the engine.
Step 4: Disconnect the starter and carefully remove it.
Step 5:
Lubricate the starter bendix with a light coating
of waterproof grease or white lithium grease.
Step 6: Return the starter to the engine and reconnect.
After closing the engine compartment, reconnect the
positive (+) battery terminal.

ANNUALLY
(Every One Hundred
[100] Hours)

nual—or one hundred (100) hour—mainte-
nance requirements be performed by an au-
thorized MasterCraft dealer. The staff there

training to best meet your service needs.
Annual Maintenance
Some boat owners choose to personally execute some
maintenance procedures on their boats. MasterCraft
has provided information on several procedures. For
safety reasons, a few must be performed by authorized
MasterCraft service technicians only, such as anything
involving checks and repairs on the fuel line, which is
under pressure.
These matters must be addressed on a regular basis,
at one hundred (100) hours or annually, whichever
comes first, and these procedures are in addition to
seasonal preparation and winterization (see Storage
and Winterization section for additional details). All
o
f these issues are extremely important to continued
boating pleasure, long life for the boat, and the critical
matter of safety.
Even if the annual maintenance work is completed
by an authorized MasterCraft service technician, boat
owners and operators should still review this section and
