PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT: MasterCraft has identified a way to keep Bluetooth and remote radios ON after an engine shutdown and engine restart condition. Upon reboots, the head unit and the engine demand too much power, and the remote and Bluetooth are automatically cut off to compensate for such. Upon further review, MasterCraft has determined that the 2014 Fusion 205 stereo units are drawing more amperage than the 700i. In some conditions, upon shutting down, the 205 stereo unit can actually draw enough sustaining power that it would drain a battery in an unreasonable time period. To improve the remote and Bluetooth disconnecting upon reboots, and eliminate any concern about over-draw conditions on Fusion 205 units, MasterCraft is recommending a wire change on all 2014 XSeries and ProStar boats. There are two steps to this change on the XSeries. The first is to jumper the stereo power from the Start battery to the House battery at the battery switch. The second is to rewire the radio power circuit. There is one step to this change on the ProStar. It is to jumper the stereo power to the switched side of the battery from the constant hot side. NOTE: CONSUMER CHANGES: The radio will now be live and available for power, when the battery switch is ON and the key is in ANY position. This is different than the past, where the stereo could be turned on only with the battery switch ON and the key in either the Accessory (left) or Ignition (right) position. Please educate consumers to turn the battery switch to OFF every time they leave the boat. WARRANTY FLAT RATE CODE AND TIME: 9014010 .50 hr.

Step 3: Identify the wire leading from the stereo memory fuse to the bilge pump fuse.


Step 4: Clip the tie wrap.


Step 5: Unclip and disconnect the stereo power and bilge pump wires at the top of the bilge pump fuse.


Step 6: Clip the spade terminal off the bilge pump wire.


Step 7: Re-connect the bilge pump wire to the bilge pump fuse.


Step 8: Cut the spade connector off from the stereo power wire.


Step 9: Strip a small length of wire and attach to a #8 ring terminal, crimping securely.


Step 10: Using a 1/4” nut driver or wrench, remove the nut from the top of the stereo memory fuse.


Step 11: Loop ring terminal over the PDM fuse stud, and then retighten the nut over both ring terminals.

Step 12: Reattach and tighten the nut over the PDM fuse stud.

Step 13: Screw VSR back onto panel.

ON XSERIES BOATS, CONTINUE ON PAGE 24.


PROCEDURE for the ProStar:

TAKE RADIO OFF CONSTANT POWER.

Step 1: Locate the battery switch panel protec-tive cover under the helm.

Step 2: Unscrew the battery switch panel cover.


Step 3: Unscrew kick panel (close-out) and set aside.


Step 4: Identify the wires on the battery panel at the lower right corner:

A. LED wire;

B. Jumper – Stereo memory to bilge pump; and C. Power lead from the start battery.

A BC


Step 5: Cut tie wrap and pull LED and jumper wires from bottom of the bilge fuse tab. (They are piggybacked on each other.)


Step 6: Unscrew the screw from back of stereo memory fuse. Retain screw.

Step 7: Pull off the power lead and jumper wire.

Step 8: Discard jumper wire.


Step 9: Clip connector from the LED wire.


Step 10: Replace with a #10 ring terminal.


Step 11: Clip ring terminal off power wire and replace with spade receptacle.


Step 12: Press power wire spade terminal on the bilge pump fuse.


Step 13: Discard the bilge pump jumper. Create a new jumper wire that is 8” (eight inches) long from 16 gauge wire, with a 3/8” ID ring terminal and #8 ring terminal.


Step 14: Unbolt battery switch nut connection with 11/16” socket. Hook the 3/8” ring terminal over the stud and re-tighten.


Step 15: Screw in the screw on the stereo memory socket, stacking the LED wire ring terminal and the new 8” jumper wire.

Step 16: Re-install the kick panel.

Step 17: Re-install the battery box cover.

ON ONLY THE XSERIES, THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE RADIO-ENABLE CIRCUIT TO THE RADIO POWER CIRCUIT. (This does not work on the ProStar.)

Step 1: Uncover/expose the back of the Fusion radio.

Step 2: Trace the yellow and red wires that enter the 12-pin con-necter from the deck harness into the 12-pin radio connec-tor.


Step 3: Clip the red wire (known as the enable circuit) and clip the yellow power wire.


Step 4: Strip and mate the red and yellow ends coming from the con-nector together, through a butt splice to the yellow power wire from the deck harness.


Step 5: Seal off the red power lead with heat shrink or electrical tape.


Step 6: Test the system. Begin by powering the boat ON at the battery switch panel.

Step 7: Verify that the battery switch is switched to ON, the key switch in the center or “Ignition OFF” position, and that the radio can power ON. (It will work with either the head unit itself or through the radio remote at the helm.)

Step 8: Turn the key clockwise to the Ignition ON state.

Step 9: Allow time for the system to boot up.

Step 10: Start the boat with the “Start/Stop” engine switch

Step 11: Verify that the radio head unit and remote DO NOT power OFF when starting the boat.
