Give the Boat a Good General Cleaning as Outlined in the
On-Going Care Information that Precedes This Section
As noted earlier, On-Going Care is important. Read that section to deter-
mine the normal expectations regarding routine care. Read the Salt Water Se-
ries Maintenance information that appears earlier in this chapter. Even boating
in “clean” water, you add protection and quality care for your boat by following
the cleaning requirements. The same components that need added protection
from salt/brackish water will also retain their luster and live longer if the same
attention is applied to them.
Have the Engine Oil Changed by an Authorized
Malibu Monsoon Dealer
Do not do your first oil change before 10 hours or later than 15 hours.
The boat must be returned to authorized Malibu dealer for the first service/
scheduled maintenance. The purpose is to allow a trained technician to inter-
pret any signs of malfunction or anomaly that may have occurred. Catching
these symptoms early is critical to avoiding potentially damaging events that
might not be covered under warranty.
The dealer will change oil, transmission fluid, inspect the cooling fluid, clean
the sea strainer, inspect the air filter, check the heat exchanger, perform an
alignment check on the engine among a variety of checks and inspections that
will yield diagnostic clues to how well the engine and drive train are performing
during the break-in period.
