Starting the Engine
Malibu boats are equipped with sensors that constantly monitor various functions of the
boat. Certain functions, if outside of pre-determined operating parameters, may activate
an alarm located under the dash. When the ignition is turned ON, the alarm will sound to
indicate it is operating. Once the engine is running, the alarm should be off unless a
problem is detected. If the alarm sounds during operation, stop the boat as soon as
possible and turn off the engine. Investigate and correct the problem before returning to
operation. Pressing the ENTER button on the display will silence the alarm for five
minutes. Following is a list of monitored functions that can activate the alarm:
Engine Oil Alarm:
Oil pressure is less than 5 psi @ idle.
Oil pressure is less than 24 psi @ 4000 RPM.
Engine Temperature Alarm:
Engine coolant exceeds 200°F. Alarm will reset when engine cools.
Exhaust Manifold Temperature Alarm:
Water temperature exceeds 220°F.
Water Depth Alarm:
Water is shallower than water depth alarm setting.
Refer to Section 4, Care and Maintenance, Electrical , for more information on the alarm.
Please refer to your engine owner’s manual for the proper starting procedures.
