This section is designed to present the most basic operational principles. It is NOT intended to cover all conditions encountered during operation. Therefore, the principles presented in this Owner’s Manual are limited to the facts related directly to the operation of the boat, while the responsibility for the proper application of these principles belongs with the boat owner and/or operator.

  • Page 319: First Time Operation

    See the Rules of the Open Water information in the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual. Adding supplementary aftermarket ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recommended, and can result in impaired visibility, diminished First Time Operation handling characteristics and instability when operating your boat.

    The stern follows a larger turning circle than the bow. MasterCraft boats are designed to accommodate professional This is especially important to remember when making maneuvers drivers with advanced operating skills who can perform high-speed within close quarters.

  • Page 323 If the boat is to be moored for a long period of time, use chafing protectors to protect the gel coat finish. Leave a little slack in the lines, allowing for some wave movement or tidal action where applicable. If the boat is to be kept in or near water for the season, consider the purchase of a boat lift and bottom paint for the hull.

  • Page 326: Lifting The Boat

    When the boat is hoisted from the water, proper use of the stern eyes or a sling system is required for all MasterCraft models. Though stern eyes are designed to lift a boat from the water, care must be taken to ensure you do not damage your boat.

  • Page 327: Using Lifting Eyes

    and each sling should have a minimum capacity rating that is equiv- alent to the weight of the model that is to be lifted. Use an eight-foot spreader bar on each sling to prevent damaging side pressure to the deck or gunwale molding. DO NOT use the ski pylon or any portion of any tower for lifting.

  • Page 328: Storage Cradle

    STORAGE CRADLE If a storage cradle is used, the hull must be properly supported to prevent load damage. This can occur with as little as fifteen (15) pounds per square inch of pressure. DO NOT support the boat by resting the hull on the keel (the central fore-and-aft structural member in the bottom of the boat’s hull, extending from the bow to the stern).

    Before selecting a bottom paint, talk with other boaters and an authorized MasterCraft dealer’s service department to determine the product that works best in the area. Many local variables may also affect the selection of paint.
  • Page 333 Be sure all fasteners used are approved and rated for marine use. Most fasteners used on MasterCraft boats are stainless steel or specially coated to resist corrosion. Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such failure may result in death or serious injury! Exposure to salt water will cause corrosion leading to significant damage to stainless steel, chrome and anodized aluminum parts.
