MasterCraft 2009 MariStar X-Series Boat User Manual


 
Towers
Many MasterCra models are now equipped with a tower,
whether as part of a standard package or as an optional addi-
tion. Again, MasterCra strongly encourages the occupants of
the boat to review the Common Sense Approach and the Boating
Safety sections of this Owner’s Manual prior to use of the boat
and the tower component.
Occupants of the boat should never stand, sit or jump from the
tower. Nothing but MasterCra-approved towing should be at-
tempted. (See Boating Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.)
Boat owners are strongly urged to purchase tower accessories
only through an authorized MasterCra dealer. MasterCra
has carefully determined the maximum amount of accessories
and total weight that the tower can safely hold. Ignoring this
information could result in injury to the boat operator and/or
passengers.
MasterCraft has determined that for the tower utilized on the 2009
models, the total weight of all accessories mounted on the tower
should never exceed 85 pounds, regardless of whether the acces-
sories are MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have come from
an aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this restriction can result in
tower failure, which could result in serious injury or death to the
boat operator and/or passengers.
Video Screen
e CSX 265 oers a video screen that drops down from the T-
Top option. See the accompanying instructional information to
determine how to use the unit. (See image above right.)
Water Heater
On the CSX 265 model, a four-gallon hot water heater is an
option. Unlike the shower option on other models, which draws
heat from a running engine, the CSX 265 water heater functions
as a hot water retention tank aer the engine has run.
e shower is located in the head compartment and at the
transom. Water is drawn in by way of a pump that is turned
on at the breaker panel in the head compartment. e heat is
provided by running the port side engine for 15-to-20 minutes.
Aer the water has been heated, however, the insulated tank will
retain the hot water for several hours. is allows the shower to
be run without the engine running, and if the engine is OFF, it
is possible to shower while standing on the swim platform. (See
Common Sense Approach section for cautions regarding using
the shower with the engine running.)
e water pumped into the heater comes from a freshwater
holding tank, and it can be le in the water heater when the
boat is not in use, EXCEPT during extended periods of storage.
As with any part of the boat in which there is water, it must be
removed at the time the boat is winterized to avoid freezing that
may cause damage to the boat, the holding tank or the water
heater. e water is removed by running the shower until all the
water has come out or by disconnecting the plumbing ttings in
the forward service bay under the helm seats.
