Drain Plugs
Your Malibu is equipped with two or three drain plugs; one
located at the transom of your boat and the other directly
below your engine/drive train. On the walkthrough open
bow models, you will find an additional drain plug in the
ski locker or ballast area of your boat directly in line with
your ballast pumps.
Transom Drain Plug
This plug is located in the center of the transom at the
bottom edge, and is provided to allow for drainage of the
bilge area, when needed.
Ensure all drain plugs are secure prior to launching your
boat. Damage caused as a result of these plugs not being
installed will not be covered under your Malibu warranty.
Bilge Drain Plug(s)
A T-handled, brass bilge drain plug is located in the
engine compartment of all models. Location is normally
directly below the drive-train unit. To access, lift motorbox
and look aft of the ski-tow pylon, and forward of the
engine. On the V-drive models, the T-handle can be found
by lifting the rear passenger seat. The T-handle is located
just below the V-drive unit.

Ensure that all transom and bilge drain plugs are securely in
place before placing the boat in the water.
