Step 3: Turn the steering wheel so that the maximum
amount of steering cable is seen.
Step 4: Use solvent to clean old lubricant from the
cable end, pivot and rudder shaft.
Step 5: Spread a generous amount of white lithium
grease over the cable end. Work the steering wheel back
and forth and re-apply grease if necessary.
Step 6: Using the exible end of a grease gun, give two
(2) full shots of white lithium grease to the two (2) grease
ttings: one on the rudder shaft, and one on the pivot.
Clean up any old grease purged from the areas.
Step 7: Rotate the steering wheel back and forth sev-
eral times to work the lubricant in.
Step 8: Re-install the access panel.
Lubricate the Shift and rottle System
Because this process should be completed while all mov-
able components of the drive train are NOT in motion,
MasterCraft recommends this be done while the boat is
out of the water.
Step 1: Ensure that the engine is OFF and disconnect the
engine safety starting switch. Be sure that the throttle/shift
control lever is in neutral. The engine must be cool.
Step 2: Open the engine box and locate the shift and
throttle cable ends.
Step 3: Shift to full-throttle-forward.
Step 4: Lubricate the cable ends and connections with
a coating of waterproof marine multi-purpose grease.
Step 5: Lubricate the pivots and linkages with a light
grease.
Step 6: Shift the control lever from full-throttle-forward to
full-throttle-reverse several times to work the lubricant in.
Check the Ballast Pump Impeller
This applies only to boats equipped with some type of
ballast system. The number of ballast pumps varies from
system to system. Authorized MasterCraft dealers can
provide guidance to locate any and all pumps.
Step 1: Remove two (2) of the cover screws and retain
the screws for the reinstallation process. Swing the cover
out of the way to allow access to the impeller location.
Step 2: Using needle-nose pliers, pull the old impeller
out of the casing.
Step 3: Install a new impeller. (It is intentionally larger
than the case. While gently squeezing it in, ensure that
the paddle wheels angle in the same direction—counter-
clockwise—all the way around.)
Step 4: Slide the plate back into place. No silicone
is necessary. Due to the built-in gasket, tightening the
screws should prevent leakage.
