in loss of control of the boat. This may lead

to serious injury or even death for those

on-board.

See Shift/Throttle Control informa-

tion elsewhere this section of the Own-

er’s Manual.

Operation:

The steering of a boat is very similar

to that of a car or truck, but it will gener-

ally respond less quickly due to opera-

tion in the water, which is more dense

than air. Read the Starting and Basic

Operations information and Operation-

al Hints that appear in the Preparation

section of this Owner’s Manual for more

detail and assistance.

Troubleshooting:

At any time, if the steering is slug-

gish, difcult, or shows any signs of

not working smoothly and properly, the

boat should immediately be taken to an

authorized MasterCraft dealer for atten-

tion.

The hydraulic steering system is not

accessible to the consumer for repair

or maintenance, all of which should be

done by an authorized MasterCraft deal-

er. Most of the standard steering system

repairs are also accessible only by the

dealer.

Water Jet Bow Thruster

Models:

Installed on X55, as option only.

Purpose:

A bow thruster allows for greater ma-

neuverability, especially in tight quarters

such as while docking the boat.

Location:

The port and starboard jets are lo-

cated near the bow, just under the water-

line. The water pump is remote-mounted

with the outlet plumbed to a “Y” valve

that diverts the water to each jet. The

thrusters are controlled by a joystick on

the driver’s armrest.

Operation:

When the joystick is moved left or

right, the bow of the boat moves port

or starboard respectively. The joystick

controls the “Y” valve, which (when

fully opened) to one side or the other,

energizes the electric water pump. The

thrust developed by the pump is diverted

by the “Y” valve to the opposite side,

causing the bow to move away from the

thrust.

Operate the thruster in pulses of a

few seconds or more. However, do not

operate for more than thirty (30) seconds

continuously at one time. Allow some

cooling time between periods of heavy

usage.

If the pump overheats, a thermal pro-

tector will shut down the pump for ap-

proximately ten (10) minutes to allow

the motor to cool. It then resets automat-

ically.

Troubleshooting:

1) If the joystick is unresponsive, check

that the bow thruster battery switch is

ON. If it is on, check the circuit breaker

box to be certain that it has not tripped.

2) If the pump runs when moving the joy-

stick, but no action results, check that the

inlet and outlet valves are open.
