3. Check the hull drain plugs...make sure they are installed and secure. *To prevent a
possible explosion, operate the blower for at least (4) minutes before starting the
engine and always when at idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or
battery fumes may be present in the engine compartment. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death! Note: Always start the engine with the control lever
in the neutral position or with the shift disengaged. Your boat is equipped with a
neutral-start safety switch that will not allow the engine to be started in gear. On EFI
engines, if the engine floods, it can be cleared by pushing the button that is in the
throttle arm and advancing the throttle to full open 100 percent of its travel and
turning the key switch to the start position. The ECM shuts off the fuel supply to the
injectors so that no fuel will be delivered during the cranking cycle. When the engine
starts, immediately return the throttle to the idle position so that the engine will not
over-rev.
Should I change the oil in the winter or spring?
Engine oil and filters must be changed before storage because of the acids that develop in
the oil, which can attack bearings. Also, since marine engines run cooler than automotive
engines, moisture/condensation stays in the oil instead of evaporating out of the oil. For
these two reasons, we recommend changing the oil before sitting for a prolonged period of
time.
What is the voltmeter?
The voltmeter registers the electrical activity necessary to operate your boat. If the battery
is low or non-functional, or if various electrical items on the boat, such as stereo
equipment, is draining the battery and impacting the boat's ability to function properly, the
voltmeter will likely be the first gauge to indicate that an issue is occurring.
Do I really need to winterize my MasterCraft even if it is stored in above freezing
temperatures?
It is a good idea that all engines be checked and winterized before storage, even when you
plan on storing the boat in a heated area. Antifreeze lubricates hoses, impellers and seals,
which will help to prevent drying and cracking. Fog oil helps to lubricate pistons, valves
and cylinder walls which protect your engine from corrosion and long term wear on the
engine.
Do I need a maintenance check up on my MasterCraft?
Many manufacturers, including MasterCraft, recommend an annual service inspection to
insure years of trouble-free operation. Simple issues like a worn-out impeller, water in one
of the fluids or an out-of-alignment drive coupler can cost thousands in repairs if not
attended to in a timely manner. Many of you will be taking your boat into your local dealer
to have it winterized, so be sure to ask them to perform the annual maintenance on the
boat as well.
