positive cable connected to the positive [+] post and the negative cable connected to
the negative [-] post.
When charging, batteries generate small
amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas. This
gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks,
flames and smoking well away from the
area. Failure to follow instructions when
charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an explosion
of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.
MasterCraft recommends the use of a spiral-cell type battery, such as the Optima
brand. These batteries exceed other batteries in holding and extending a charge.
Inspect the Throttle and Shift Cables for
Kinks, Wear and Interference
Some engine parts become very hot dur-
ing operation. This inspection must be
completed while the engine is cool to
prevent burns to your skin. Perform this
task before starting the boat.
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch disconnected.
Be certain that the throttle/shif control lever is in neutral.
Step 2: Open the engine compartment and locate the throttle and shift cables. Fol-

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: First ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety start-
ing switch is disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/
shif control lever is in neutral. The engine must be cool.
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 inspect-
ing 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
