used in situations other than engine com-

partment res.

All V-drives are specied for one (1) dry

chemical, hand-held extinguisher. This is

in addition to the suppression system in the

engine compartment.

Hand-held units should be replaced or

recharged as soon as possible after use.

Chemical discharge should be cleaned

from all surfaces as soon as possible and

prior to running the boat again, unless op-

eration is necessary to return to shore.

The boat should never be operated fol-

lowing a re until after a determination has

been made whether operation may result

in another re. If any danger of an addi-

tional re exists, the boat should be towed

to shore or dock rather than running the

engine(s).

Consumers who choose to purchase re

control equipment from resources other

than MasterCraft must follow the instruc-

tions and requirements as listed within the

engine compartment regarding suitability

for the compartment volume. These stan-

dards are established by the Coast Guard

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and

the American Boat and Yacht Council

(ABYC).

Following the activation of the automatic

ﬁre suppression system or a hand-held

ﬁre extinguisher, a careful determination

should be made as to whether the boat can

safely be operated. If there is any doubt or

concern whatsoever, the boat should be

towed to shore and/or dock for service by

an authorized MasterCraf dealer prior to

operating again. Failure to follow these in-

structions could result in death or serious

injury/illness.

Capsizing

In addition to re, a boater’s greatest

concern may be with the possibility of cap-

sizing (or overturning) the boat. A number

of factors can occur that will result in a boat

overturning (high waves, excessive wakes,

bad weather, etc.) or sinking as a result of

damage such as striking an underwater ob-

ject or another boat.

In the event of such an occurrence, try

to turn the engine OFF. Attempt to locate

any other people who were on-board and

determine whether they are injured. Unless

there is re or release of gasoline, in most

instances it is wise to remain with the boat.

Unless it has sustained sinkable damage, it

will oat. Climbing on the hull will make it

easier for rescuers to locate you and others.

Running Aground or

Striking Underwater Objects

Ascertain whether there is damage to the

hull. If water can be stopped from entering

the boat, cautiously return to dock. Have

the boat checked out by your authorized

MasterCraft dealer to be certain that the
