Food items or anything that can create
an odor should not be left in the refrigera-
tor or cold plate areas. Neither should
anything that can leak be left in these
units as they could potentially damage
the units, and this type of damage is not
covered under warranty. The condenser
on the refrigerator should be kept free
of dust, dirt and anything that inhibits its
proper operation. The manufacturer also
recommends leaving the drawer slightly
open if it will not be used for a period of
time. This helps prevent unpleasant odors
from forming.
Refrigerator cleaning instructions have
been provided by the manufacturer. Note
that it should always be OFF, and should
never be cleaned under flowing water or
submerged in any kind of body of water,
including, but not limited to, a sink. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If it is neces-
sary to defrost the interior, never remove layers of ice with hard or sharp tools as they
can damage the plastic of the vaporizer. Allow the unit to air defrost.
The refrigerator operates by opening the coolbox door and turning the thermostat
knob clockwise. Shutting it o requires turning the thermostat knob counterclockwise.
Seat Heaters
For real comfort, some models oer a seat heater option, which will be for the driver’s
seat, and sometimes in the observer’s seat. It is not oered for any other seating in the
boat. Note that the ignition must be ON for the seat heater to work. The heater(s) oper-
ate by a switch on the control panel. If the switch is turned ON and the seat does not
warm up, or appears to become too warm, turn the switch to OFF and seek assistance
from your authorized MasterCraft dealer in remedying the issue.
Seating
Comfortable seating is a hallmark of MasterCraft. Not only does the seating enhance
the overall boating experience but it also is the designated area for operators and pas-
sengers to be while the boat is underway.
When boats are in motion, operators and
passengers should always be seated on
upholstered designated occupant seat-
ing. No other areas should be used during
operation, including, but not limited to, the
gunwales, towers, sun pads, engine boxes,
or any area that is not clearly intended for seating while the boat is un-
derway. People can become dislodged from locations that are not actual
seating, which could result in falls in the boat or overboard, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Some specialized optional seating adds more comfort. Convertible seats allow the
seat back to be moved forward or back, changing the orientation. (Be sure that the seat
back locking mechanism is securely engaged before using the seat back. Failure to
engage the locking mechanism may allow unintended movement that could result in a
person losing balance or even falling.)
The convertible seat back at the transom seating is intended to be used only when the
boat is stationary and the engine is OFF. The seat back must be in the stowed position,
never aft facing, when the engine is running or the boat is underway. Positioned aft facing,
