Step 5
Spread a generous amount of white lithium grease over the cable
end. Work the steering wheel back and forth and reapply grease if
necessary.
Step 6
Using the flexible end of a grease gun, give two (2) full shots of
white lithium grease to the two (2) grease fittings: one on the rudder
shaft, and one on the pivot. Clean up any old grease purged from the
areas.
NOTE: The ProStar has a rudder port fitting. Do NOT use white lith-
ium grease on the rudder port. Use Alpha FG2-100, available only
from an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
Step 2
Inspect the exhaust flap hinge for signs of deterioration. Replace
the flap if necessary.
LUBRICATE THE STEERING SYSTEM
For cable systems only; hydraulic steering maintenance must be
completed by an authorized MasterCraft dealer only! Because this
process should be completed while all movable 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 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
Remove the access panel in the rear trunk compartment in direct
drive boats. In V-drive engines the steering is located in the engine
compartment, beneath the engine.
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.
