• Never operate the boat while under the inuence of alcohol
or drugs.
• Never stand or allow passengers to stand in the boat or sit on
the motor box or tower (where equipped) while underway.
You or others may be thrown within or from the boat, which
could result in serious injury or death.
• Prior to starting the engine, you must open the engine box
and check the engine compartment and bilge for gasoline
and oil vapors. You must also operate the blower for at least
four (4) minutes. Failure to do so may result in re and/or an
explosion.

pressurized and attempting to loosen or remove them may
result in the uncontrolled release of fuel, which can be envi-
ronmentally hazardous, and may potentially cause injury.

Skiing and Wakeboarding Safety
Skiers and wakeboarders are obligated to be as aware of the fun-
damental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water sports,
you should seek certied training before starting. You may nd it
especially helpful to join a local water-sports club, if available, and
the U.S.W.S.A. (United States Water Skiing Association).
• Always remember that the majority of water-skiing and
wakeboarding injuries are the result of impacts with other
objects, so always look where you are going and be aware of
what is going on around you.
• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body
through the handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line,
nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski or wakeboard at night.
• Never ski or wakeboard directly in front of other boats.
• When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total
aggregate weight of the accessories does not exceed 85 lbs.
(U.S.). Exceeding the limit may result in structural failure
of the tower. MasterCra strongly encourages the use of
MasterCra towers and accessories only as they have been
tested and determined to meet product requirements,
including weight.
Towers should never have a total aggregate weight of acces-
sories exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.) total. Excessive weight can cause
tower failure and the collapse of a tower or the disconnect of the
tower from the deck can result in injury or damage to the boat
that is not covered by warranty.
• Never attempt to fold a tower without assistance. Folding a
tower requires at least two (2) people.
Towers on boats are intended for use
for the towing of a maximum of two (2)
individuals using water skis, wakeboards
or recreational towables only. Use of the
tower to tow other boats, kites or for any
other purpose may result in serious injury
or death, and may damage the boat, which
will not be covered by warranty.
• Never jump from a boat that is mov-
ing at any speed, nor enter or exit the
water when the engine is running (ON).
(See the Common Sense Approach section
of this Owner’s Manual for additional
information regarding carbon monoxide
peril.)
• Never climb, sit or stand on a tower.
e tower is intended for towing only as
noted.
• Make sure that everyone knows and
uses approved skiing/wakeboarding hand signals and adheres
to common skiing, wakeboarding and boating courtesy.
• Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the ski platform
while in the water during engine operation, including at idle.
Carbon monoxide fumes are expelled from the lower tran-
som areas of your boat and can cause death or serious illness.
• e above mandates are not all-inclusive. It is the boater’s re-
sponsibility to operate the boat in a safe fashion and become
familiar with any and all rules and regulations governing boat
operation.
