Here is a simple guide to reading your hull ID.

Heres something that East Tx Skier posted:įrom with some additions from TT forum discussion. Some dealers have been known to put a different motor in a boat when a buyer requests it.

The hull ID number will also allow MC to tell you what it was shipped with. If the serial number is on a white sticker on the oil pan, you can call MC or Indmar and give tell them the serial number, so they can tell you which motor it is. If it has a large gray or black piece on top with a plastic flame arrestor with fine metal fins facing the front of the boat, it's an LTR. The sticker doesn't match up with the engine models on the Indmar or Mastercraft websites.Īny ideas? Who makes this engine? Where do I find an owners manual?If it has a round flame arrestor that's about 8" in diameter under a black plastic shroud and what looks a lot like a regular carb on top of the motor, it's the TBI Predator. I couldn't find anything about it on the Indmar site, but I couldn't find anything on the engine that says Indmar. I did some google searches and I can't seem to find any information on this specific engine. Also I found a sticker on one side that has the following: The engine model and serial number are required when seeking information con. On both sides of the engine on the exhaust manifold it says Mastercraft. 0L marine engines used in Mercruiser, Volvo Penta, Crusader, Indmar. However right on the top of the engine it says LTR 330 HP with Northstar Ignition. The dealership listed it as having a 2000 Indmar 310 HP engine. I bought a 2000 Mastercraft Maristar 230 VRS earlier in the spring and I have a question about the engine.
