Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting in
fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and flames away from
the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system.
Step 2
Open the engine compartment and visually check as much of the
fuel system from the tank to the engine as you can see. On some
models this is will be a limited area. If the odor of gasoline is strong
or if you see visual evidence of fuel outside the system, cease all
operations and take the boat immediately to an authorized Mas-
terCraft dealer’s service department to determine the source of
the leak. The leak must be repaired before the engine is restarted.
Because the lines on late model MasterCraft boats are pressurized,
they can be disconnected and/or removed ONLY by using special-
ized tools.
The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must
be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing for body parts can get
caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep away
from moving parts!
This is important! Fuel leakage can lead to a build-up of potentially
explosive fumes within the engine compartment. DO NOT IGNORE
OR OVERLOOK THIS INSPECTION AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY!
any kinks and wear on the outer jacket. Any sign of cable damage is
cause for replacement. See your authorized MasterCraft dealer’s
service department if you notice any cable damage.
INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM
FOR LEAKS
This function should be performed prior to starting the engine; and
then again after about three (3)-to-five (5) minutes to determine
whether any leaks are apparent.
Step 1
Ensure the engine is OFF, the engine safety starting switch is dis-
connected and the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral.
