refrigeration

Some models offer optional refrigeration. In the 280V and X-80 models, it is a refrigerator unit, which

is free of CFCs, and instructions are provided by the manufacturer. In the CSX 265
models, cold plates are provided in the two storage bins under the seat that are
immediately aft of the steering helm. These large stainless steel plates attach to the
wall inside the storage bin, through which coolant circulates, similar to the opera-
tion of a regular refrigerator.

Note that the refrigerator and the cold plates function off the boat’s electrical sys-

tem. Attention should be paid to the Voltmeter(s) to be certain that these systems do
not over-drain the electrical system.

On the 280V and X-80 refrigerator unit note that it can be used in an ambient

air temperature range of -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 Celsius) to 130 F (55 C), and
a maximum of 90 percent air humidity in constant operation. The device can cool
goods in a temperature range of 28 degrees F (-2 C) to 53 degrees F (12 C). It is
equipped with a battery monitor that switches the compressor off and on again,
protecting the battery and the compressor against damage.

The refrigerator is suitable for cooling food. If you wish to cool medicine, please

check to determine whether the cooling capacity is sufficient for the medicine in
question.

Food items or anything that can create an odor should not be left in the refrig-

erator or cold plate areas. Neither should anything that can leak be left in these
units as they could potentially damage the units, and this type of damage is not
covered under warranty. The condenser on the refrigerator should be kept free of
dust, dirt and anything that inhibits its proper operation. The manufacturer also
recommends leaving the drawer slightly open if it will not be used for a period of
time. This helps prevent unpleasant odors from forming.

Refrigerator cleaning instructions have been provided by the manufacturer.

Note that it should always be OFF, and should never be cleaned under flowing water
or submerged in any kind of body of water, including, but not limited to, a sink.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If it is necessary to defrost the interior, never
remove layers of ice with hard or sharp tools as they can damage the plastic of the
vaporizer. Allow the unit to air defrost.

The refrigerator operates by opening the coolbox door and turning the thermostat knob clockwise. Shut-

ting it off requires turning the thermostat knob counterclockwise.

Seat Heaters

For real comfort, some models offer a seat heater option, which will be for the

driver’s seat, and sometimes in the observer’s seat. It is not offered for any other seat-
ing in the boat. Note that the ignition must be ON for the seat heater to work. The
heater(s) operate by a switch on the control panel. If the switch is turned ON and the
seat does not warm up, or appears to become too warm, turn the switch to OFF and
seek assistance from your authorized MasterCraft dealer in remedying the issue.

Seating

Comfortable seating is a hallmark of MasterCraft. Not only does the seating enhance the overall boating

experience but it also is the designated area for operators and passengers to be while the boat is underway.

2011 Owners Manual...Comfort and Convenience...Page 6-7

When boats are in motion, operators and passengers should always be seated on upholstered
designated occupant seating. No other areas should be used during operation, including, but not

limited to, the gunwales, towers, sun pads, engine boxes, or any area that is not clearly intended
for seating while the boat is underway. People can become dislodged from locations that are not
actual seating, which could result in injury during boat motion.
