This manual is not intended to be a substitute for taking a course on boating safety nor is it a

operation of a boat you seek advice and training from a qualified individual or organization. Check with
your local marine law enforcement agency or dealer for more information about boating safety classes
in your area.
The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a procedure or method is
not specifically recommended, YOU must be satisfied that it is safe for you and your passengers, and that
the boat will not be damaged or made unsafe as a result of your decision. Remember - always use caution
and common sense when operating and maintaining your boat!
about your new boat
Axis is proud to provide you with the most exciting, cutting-edge technology available in the towing-boat industry. The boat you have purchased
represents the state of the art at the time of manufacture. As you may expect from the industry’s leader since 1982, Axis expands and innovates
continually. As a result, updated product or specifications may be introduced during any given model year. Malibu reserves the right to introduce new
product or changes to existing model lines without notification or incurring responsibility to make the same changes to boats in the market completed
prior to the date of change.
This Owner’s Manual has been compiled to address as many potential issues and questions as may arise in addition to explaining how to operate
the boat and its systems correctly and safely as possible to ensure long-term and enjoyable use. However, Axis cannot anticipate every potential
situation that can arise, affecting the care and protection of your boat, nor every circumstance that could arise in the operation or care of the boat
when not in use. Axis strongly recommends reading any and all additional information provided by component manufacturers’ and supplied with the
boat at time of purchase. Also check out websites for Axis and its component manufacturers periodically to stay abreast of any changes, updates,
service bulletins and general information. Axis will use these various methods of communication, from this Owner’s Manual and including, but not
limited to, direct mail contact and website updates, to make every reasonable effort to apprise you of the information you will need to continue long-
term and highly satisfactory use of your boat.
