Safety Equipment
Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be on-board your boat at all times. Responsible
boaters carry additional equipment in case of emergency. It is your responsibility to check with the lo-
cal boating authorities for any additional requirements and/or equipment over and above the federal
requirements.
Required Equipment
Your MasterCraft boat has been equipped at the factory with most of the federally required safety equip-
ment for inland waters (Class II, 26-foot-to-40-foot watercraft). This equipment includes:
• ABYC-approved (American Boat & Yacht Club) marine mufflers with water injection;
• USCG-approved (United States Coast Guard) marine flame arrestor;
• USCG-approved engine box ventilation with sparkless power blower;
• ABYC-approved electric horn sound-warning device;
• USCG-approved inland lighting.
Fire Extinguishers
The engine compartment of all V-drive and the CSX 265 models is equipped with an
automatic fire suppression system with a manual override that uses a clean agent canis-
ter, which is housed in the engine compartment and is integrated with the fire suppression
system. The direct drive and CSX 220 models are equipped with a fire port, into which the
contents of a clean-agent canister can be released into the engine compartment.
Except as set forth below, you are also required by law to have on board one (1)
five-pound, dry chemical fire extinguisher rated for Type A, B and C fires. The law
requires that for all boats more than 26 feet in length, which includes the 280V, X-80
and CSX 265 models, you must have on board two (2) five-pound, dry chemical fire
