mediately stop the boat as outlined below and check the oil level.
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately
stop the boat as outlined below and check the raw water impeller

warning has been found and corrected.
Continued operation after the warning light has illuminated may
cause severe engine damage. This will void your warranty.
Stopping

the boat has been driven for a long period of time or at
high speed, allow the engine a 2-3 minute cool-down
period at low idle (600-800 RPM).
Step 2: Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to stop the
engine.
Step 3: If any problems were encountered during operation,
have the boat inspected by an authorized MasterCra
dealer. Request any necessary repairs before resuming
operation of the boat.
