MasterCraft X-5 User Manual

Care should also be taken to
avoid interfering with the boat
operator’s line of sight when
the boat is underway. This ap-
plies particularly to individuals
riding in the bow. It is possible
to quite unintentionally obscure
the driver’s view. Even momen-
tary interference can result in the
driver’s inability to respond to a
situation that requires avoidance
of another vessel or submerged
or partially-submerged objects.
Everyone on board should al-
ways pay attention to other ves-
sels, people and objects located
in close proximity to the boat,
activities taking place in or near
the water, and should always be
supportive of the boat operator.
MasterCraft strongly encour-
ages individuals to wear Personal
Flotation Devices (PFDs). In many
states, it is a legal requirement
for children to wear them at
all times while on board. Non-
swimmers and swimmers of
limited ability of any age should
never be without a PFD while on
a boat.
Avoid any activity that may result in damage to the boat, thereby
voiding the warranty. Some things, such as avoiding stationary ob-
jects, are obvious. However, even less obvious activities can cause
damage to a boat, no matter how well-built. For example, while a
beach or shoreline may seem soft while walking on it, running a boat
up onto shore may result in signicant scratches in the berglass n-
ish. The causes of many kinds of damage are usually quite obvious to
trained service personnel.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect
that could result in damage to the boat or that may cause illness,
injury or even death to boaters. The operator, owner and/or all per-
sons on board are responsible for using common sense and a care-
ful thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken to
keep boating enjoyable for many years to come. A MasterCraft boat
can be the source of countless hours of family fun, as well as building
friendships. But the boating experience remains safe only if YOU use
your head before, during and after your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead with the MasterCraft
boat, be sure that, rst and foremost, you are well-prepared to be
responsible.
