and if they determine that damage was caused by misuse or activity such as “beaching,” such results can void the warranty. Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others. MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect that could result in damage to the boat or that may cause illness, injury or even death to boaters. The operator, owner and/or all persons on board are responsible for using common sense and a careful thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken to keep boating enjoyable for many years to come.
A MasterCraft boat can be the source of countless hours of family fun, as well as building friendships, but the boating experience remains safe only if you, and everyone on board, use your head before, during and after your boating activity. Never remove or modify any components of the fuel system. Removal or modification of any component of the fuel system may cause a hazardous situation and will void the warranty. The modern MasterCraft fuel delivery lines are pressurized and attempting to loosen or remove them may result in the uncontrolled release of fuel, which can be environmentally hazardous, and can cause injury. Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board.
It may result in fire or explosion. As you anticipate many good times ahead with your MasterCraft boat, be sure that first and foremost, you are well-prepared to be responsible. COMMON SENSE ADVICE Avoid any activity that may result in damage to the boat, thereby voiding the warranty. Some things, such as avoiding stationary objects, are obvious. However, even less obvious activities can cause damage to a boat, no matter how well-built. For example, while a beach or shoreline may seem soft while walking on it, running a boat up onto shore may result in significant scratches in the gel coat and fiberglass finish.
The causes of many kinds of damage are usually quite obvious to trained service personnel, For most activities the boat operator should be seated at the helm position. Some situations may require standing at the helm to maintain visibility over the bow. When standing is necessary make certain that the safety shut off lanyard is attached to your clothing or PFD. Operating the boat while standing may result in a loss of control which could cause serious injury or death. 05 / 2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
