When boats are in motion, operators and passengers should always be seated on uphol-
stered designated occupant seating. 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 underway. 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. (Page 3-27)
DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found during the Safety Check. A
problem could lead to an accident during the outing, resulting in death or serious injury.
Any and all problems should receive attention immediately. See your authorized Master-
Craft dealer’s service department for assistance. (Page 4-5)
Battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous,
corrosive and caustic. If electrolyte fluid is spilled or placed on any part of the human
body, immediately flush the area with large amounts of clean water and immediately
seek medical attention. (Page 5-20)
Some engine parts become very hot during operation. This inspection must be com-
pleted while the engine is cool to prevent burns to your skin. Perform this task before
starting the boat. (Page 5-21)
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! (Page 5-22)
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits can cause operation
instability and/or the boat to sink. This may result in serious injury or death, as well as significant
damage to the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. (Page 1-23)
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 ex-
plosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury. (Page 3-8, 5-21, 5-23)
Adding additional aftermarket ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended, and can
result in impaired visibility, diminished handling characteristics and instability when operat-
ing your boat, and may result in potential structural and/or engine damage to the boat,
which damage will not be covered by your warranty. (Page 4-13)
Prior to operation of the boat, verify that the mirror hardware is secure. Failure to do so
may result in the mirror detaching from the windshield extrusion. The mirror could hit the
operator or a passenger, resulting in injury. (Page 3-14)
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits can cause operation instabil-
ity and/or the boat to sink. This may result in serious injury or death, as well as significant dam-
age to the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. WHEN THE PLUG ’N PLAY BALLAST
BAGS ARE FILLED, THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT OF THE BAGS AND WATER MUST BE SUB-
TRACTED FROM THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY OF THE BOAT , WITH THE REMAINDER
LEFT FOR PASSENGERS AND GEAR! (Page 3-15)
If the Plug ’n Play bags are removed from the boat, the plumbing plugs must be rein-
stalled in the boat to prevent unwanted and potentially dangerous intrusion of water into
the boat. This water can result in the boat sinking, which can result in serious injury or
death! (Page 3-15)
Electromechanical actuators provide an instant response. When making adjustments, use short
momentary taps of the switch. (Page 3-17)
Improperly stored anchors and/or anchor line that has been improperly re-wound, may
create a hazardous situation. People on-board can trip on improperly stored materials,
which can result in injury. Improperly stored materials can also move too freely during
