and causing other adverse effects. Never exceed the boat
capacity, paying particular attention to limits in bow
seating. Failure to pay on-going attention to this can
result in serious injury or death.
Never attempt to jump into
the body of water from any
of the seating in the boat. It
can be difficult to determine
water depth, and it could be possible to misjudge clear-
ance of the deck and gunwales.
Malibu offers WakeView transom seating, which is standard
on some models and optional on others. This padded, comfortable
individual seating on each side of the transom area is intended for
use ONLY when the boat is fully stopped, without the engine running.
Sitting in this area while the boat is underway could result in individuals
falling off, which could result in injury or even death. It is also possible
that carbon monoxide fumes from the exhaust system could reach
individuals sitting here. The WakeView seating folds down to increase
viewing for the driver and observers while the boat is underway. When
moving the seat back up or down, take care to avoid pinching fingers,
hands or other body parts as the back snaps into or out of place.
The Wake-
View transom
seating should
never be used
while the boat is underway as passengers in
those seats could be dislodged, resulting in
injury or death. The seat should also never
be used when the engine is running because
passengers at the transom may also be
subject to carbon monoxide fumes emitted
from the exhaust under the swim board.
Do not have the engine running while
passengers are sitting in the WakeView
seats. Even while stationary, the WakeV-
iew seats should never be the location from
which individuals attempt to leap into the water. It can
be difficult to determine the water depth, and people can
misjudge clearance of the swim board.
No one should sit or ride on the sun pads either when the boat
engine is running. Carbon monoxide is emitted from the exhaust
system and vented into the water beneath the swim board. Fumes
can and do reach the sun pad area. Avoidance of carbon monoxide
poisoning is addressed in the
Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
When adjusting the helm seat,
note that there a handle pull under
the port side of the seat. Pull
down very slightly and to the left to
remove the handle from its locked
position; when it is in its neutral
position, the driver can slide the
seat forward or aft to a preferred
position. Return the handle to its
locked position while the boat is
underway. Failure to do so could cause the seat to move, causing the
the driver to lose control.
The glide handle for the
driver’s (helm) seat should be
the locked position anytime
the boat is underway. Failure
to have the handle stowed properly could result in the seat
moving unexpectedly, and such action could cause the driver
to be distracted and lose control of the vessel. This could
result in injury to the driver and/or passengers.
