Other Alarms
(All Models)
Sensors check the oil pressure, engine and transmission temperatures. If the system
detects readings outside the acceptable range, the system shuts o the stereo and sounds
the alarm for a period of one (1) minute. This signals the need to return to shore as soon as
possible and seek assistance from your authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service depart-
ment to diagnose and, if necessary, repair the problem.
Hydraulic Steering System
Some models oer a hydraulic steering system as an option. At any time, if the
steering is sluggish, dicult, or shows any signs of not working smoothly and properly,
the boat should immediately be taken to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for atten-
tion. The hydraulic steering system is not accessible to the consumer for repair or
maintenance, all of which should be done by an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
Shift/Throttle Control
(All Models)
A one-hand, single-lever control operates as both
a gear shifter and a throttle. The lever automatically
locks in the neutral position (straight up and down)
for safety. The lever can be moved from neutral only
by raising the lifter under the ball knob. Shifting is ac-
complished by moving the lever forward or backward.
Center (straight up) is neutral. Moving the lever for-
ward engages the running gear; moving it back from
center puts the drive train into reverse.
Never attempt to shift without the engine running!
During regular warm-up of the engine, it is possible to
temporarily increase the engine RPMs without moving
the boat. To accomplish this, push in the button located
at the bottom of the shift/throttle lever with one hand
and pull up the “umbrella” (aluminum surround below the top of the knob). Move the lever
to desired position and then simultaneously release the button and umbrella. The engine
will run with increased RPMs and can be increased or decreased by moving the lever.
Returning the handle to the neutral position (as shown in illustration above) will bring the
system back to neutral and reduce the engine RPMs to pre-set levels.
This function should be done sparingly. Over-revving the engine for any extended
period can cause undue wear and tear on the engine. Avoid advancing to wide-open-
throttle and holding the RPMs at that level.
Speedometer
(All Models)
The speedometer indicates the forward speed
of the boat in miles per hour (unless the boat is
equipped with a speedometer that measures kilo-
meters per hour, which is available in the optional
European package.)
To calibrate the speedometer, you need an ac-
curately measured course of 850 feet and a certi-
fied stopwatch, which is accurate to within one-
hundredths (.01) of a second. (This can be done
withGPS,whenequipped.)TocalibratetoA.W.S.A.
