Pull-Up Cleats
Pull-Up cleats are available for all boat models. These
cleats will sit flush on the side of the boat deck when
depressed. To use the cleats, simply pull them up. Push the
cleats down to stow them.
Docking Lights
The docking lights should only be used during slow
speed docking maneuvers. The lights are activated by
a switch on the accessory switch panel and have a 10 amp circuit breaker. The docking
lights use LED bulbs which cannot be replaced.
Tower
Illusion X
The Malibu Illusion X is equipped with a built-in navigation
light and a Quick Pin Release System. The Illusion X is
standard on both Ride Series models.
Illusion G3
The Illusion G3 has a solid foundation of billet aluminum
bases and billet tower support wings backing the 3"
stainless steel hoop. The Illusion G3 features dual gas
spring shocks to assist in creating the feature of weightless
fold-down. It uses two bolts under the top frame rail of the
tower base to fasten the tower in the UP position. These
need to be periodically checked for tightness. The Illusion
G3 is standard on Wakesetters and optional on Sunscapes
and the Response FXi.
Due to vibration and rough water
conditions it is possible for bolts to
loosen. It is recommended to periodically inspect all
mounting bolts as part of maintenance: (Tower, Wakeboard
Racks, Lights, Speakers, etc.) to ensure they are tight. See
your local dealer for any questions and/or assistance. Failure
to do so can cause serious damage and/or injury to the boat
and/or passengers.
Properly stow the bimini top in its boot and remove all
boards from the board racks prior to towing/trailering your
boat. Speeds exceeding 50 MPH (80 km/h) with the bimini
not properly stowed may cause damage to the bimini top.
Damage to the bimini from towing while not stowed is not
covered under warranty. Damaged or excessive wear to
board racks caused by towing or trailering with boards
attached is not covered under warranty.
