MasterCraft X-5 User Manual

Consumers who choose to purchase re control equipment from resources other than MasterCraft
must follow the instructions and requirements as listed within the engine compartment regarding suit-
ability for the compartment volume. These standards are established by the ABYC.
Following the activation of the automatic fire suppression system or a hand-held fire extin-
guisher, a careful determination should be made as to whether the boat can safely be oper-
ated. If there is any doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore and/or
dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating again. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury/illness.
Top: FE-241;
Bottom: FM200
Fire Suppression and Extinguishing (ProStar 190,
ProStar 197, X-7, ProStar 214 direct drive and
X-14 direct drive)
These models are specied for two (2) re extinguish-
ers, both to be held in the void beneath the observer’s
seat. One unit is a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammonium
phosphate expellant (dry chemical) unit, which shall be
rated Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (UL Ap-
proved) and Class C (energized electrical equipment).
These units should be used in ghting all on-board res
other than engine compartment res.
Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as
soon as possible after use, or after 12 years from date
of manufacture. Any chemical discharge should be
cleaned from all surfaces as soon as possible and prior
to running the boat again, unless operation is neces-
sary to return to shore.
The other specified unit is a hand-held fire sup-
pression unit FM-200 (international boats) or FE-241
(domestic boats). The difference is that in domestic
V-drive models the unit is not mounted in the engine
compartment, and it must be manually operated (red
bottle shown below).
In the event of any evidence of a re within the en-
gine compartment, DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COM-
PARTMENT (BOX).
Opening an engine compartment when there is indi-
cation of a fire inside can cause the fire to flare up
and/or spread, which may result in extensive damage
or even sinking of the boat and/or serious injury or
death to peo-
ple on board.
Shut down the
engine and blow-
ers. Continuously
discharge the en-
tire contents of
the FE-241 re
suppression unit
through the re
port immediately.
Fire Port
On these models, the engine compartment is equipped with a re port on
the side of the engine box. In the event of a re, insert the nozzle of the re extin-
guisher through the re port pull the safety pin and press the handle to release the
clean-agent, gaseous chemicals inside the engine box.
The boat owner/operator should have the re extinguisher canister replaced
as soon as practicable.
The boat should never be operated following a re until after a determination
has been made whether operation may result in another re. If any danger of an
additional re exists, the boat should be towed to shore or dock rather than run-
ning the engine(s).
Following the activation of the automatic fire suppression system
or a hand-held fire extinguisher, a careful determination should be
made as to whether the boat can safely be operated. If there is any
doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore
and/or dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior
to operating again. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in death or serious injury/illness.
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)
Federal law also requires at least one wearable Type I, II, III or Type V Personal
Flotation Device (“PFD”), for each person on-board or being towed on water skis,
wakeboards or other recreational equipment. A Type V PFD provides performance
of either a Type I, II or III PFD (as marked on its label) and must be used according
to the label requirements. In addition, one throwable Type IV PFD must also be on
board. As the owner, obtaining the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility and
determining whether people on-board , including those who are underage, are
required to wear PFDs when underway. Your MasterCraft dealer can, and will be
happy to, assist you with your purchase of appropriate PFDs.
Note: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters dier. Check with the
local boating authorities for more information.
