Immediately following this introduction are photo images of the five
types of instrument panels utilized on MasterCraft boats. Operators
should match up the appropriate image with the actual instrument
panel on your boat.
All boats, except the XStar and the NXT series, have gauges that
provide critical read-out information that is also provided through
the video screen(s). All functionality on the XStar and NXT appears
only in the video screens.
Explanations of the gauges appear after the instrument panel
illustrations. The video screen operations are broken down into
the XSeries information, which utilizes a standard 4.5” screen or an
optional 7” screen, the XStar, which uses two (2) 4.5” screens and
a 7” screen, the ProStar, which uses a 7” screen, and the NXT, which
uses a 4.5” screen. MasterCraft encourages all boat owners to go
over the gauge and/or video screen operations with your authorized
MasterCraft dealer prior to operating the boat.
Do not become distracted while utilizing multifunctional screens.
Maintain situational awareness and do not change settings in
crowded boating/swimming areas.
VARIATIONS IN GAUGES AND
SWITCHES
Please note that not every gauge or switch explained in this Owner’s
Manual is found on every model. Some equipment is optional, and
not every option is available on all models of MasterCraft boats.
Also, MasterCraft utilizes a variety of gauge and switch styles
that may be different from the gauges or switches pictured in this
Owner’s Manual. These differences between the various styles of
gauges and switches are not in functionality. If a boat is equipped
with a gauge or switch that is labeled as described, it will operate
in the same fashion as the description, even if its appearance is
different, as the appearance changes periodically.
If the owner and/or operators are uncertain about the purpose of
a gauge or switch, do not operate the boat until consulting with an
authorized MasterCraft dealer. Some gauges monitor information
that is critical to safe and long-term use of the boat. Some switches
can affect maneuverability, as well as operations that impact long-
term use of the boat.
