Storage and Winterization

 
  Because the process of preparing a boat for long-term storage 
(more than two [2] weeks) and/or winterization is extremely important 
and takes some time to accomplish, this is often paired with the 
annual maintenance preparations. Regardless of timing, however, 
storage and winterization must never be overlooked, especially in 
climates where the temperature will fall below freezing.
  If the boat will not be used for an extended period, regardless 
of season, or if the boat will be left in water full-time during boating 
season, there are precautions which should be taken.
 

Hull Gel Coat

  If a boat will be left in the water all the time during boating 
season, Malibu recommends using a bottom, hull paint to protect 
it. Even with the highest-grade of gel coat, continuous exposure to 

water, even fresh water, will eventually result in damage to the finish. 

Therefore, in these circumstances, boat owners must protect the 

finish with an approved hull paint. Your authorized Malibu dealer can 

direct you to the correct paint, and can actually do the preparation for 
you. 
 

Failure to protect the hull 
from excessive exposure to 
water or foul weather can 
result in damage to the hull 

paint and gel coat that is not covered under warranty.

 
 

Extended Non-Use

  If a boat is not used for an extended period of time, and 
depending on weather conditions, location, and other factors, this 
could be from two (2) weeks to one (1) month—or beyond—owners 
should remove the boat from the water if possible. Perform the 
expected storage preparations, including removal of all ballast water, 
water from the bilge area, and periodically check the battery status 
as certain automatic functions are performed even when the boat is 
out of the water and the battery switch is in the OFF position. It may 
be necessary to occasionally charge the battery. (See information 
above and in the 

Electrical Components 

section of the 

Dashes and 

Video Screens 

chapter of the Owner’s Manual regarding battery 

maintenance and the proper way to ensure batteries remain 
charged.)
 

Lifting the Boat

  Many boat owners remove the boat from water by way of a trailer, 
which allows for transport as well as an excellent way to store the 
boat as long as the trailer was designed and built for that boat model. 

(Incorrect fit means that there will be undue stress on the boat’s 

structural unit. Over time, these components could potentially fail, 
which would not be covered under warranty.)
  However, some boaters, especially those who are privileged to 
live on a shoreline or due to the methods of extracting boats from 

specific bodies of water, must lift the boat to suspend the boat or use 

a boat cradle.
  When the boat must be lifted, use the correct sling system or 
the lifting eyes only. Never allow a lifting device to wrap around the 
underwater gear as the weight of the boat could cause the sling 
to damage the gear. The boat may not be able to withstand the 
gravitational forces if the boat is not properly supported.
 

Never use the ski pylon or 
tower as part of the lifting 
process. These components 
are not designed to be 

utilized at any time or any point in the lifting process. 
Never use the cleats for lifting either. Never lift the boat 
with any water in the ballast or bilge systems of the boat. 
The additional weight could cause failure also. 
 

  When using the lifting eyes on the boat, an overhead hoist should 
be used to lift the boat, coupled with appropriately rated capacity 
straps. Each strap has to be rated for the boat weight or higher. (See 
the 

Quick Reference Guide

 in this Owner’s Manual to determine the 

boat’s base weight, without any added gear.) Spreader bars should 
also be used to prevent side loading of the stern eyes as well as 
damage to the rub rail on the bow. When lifting the boat, keep the 
bow slightly higher than the stern to avoid having any water run into 
the engine exhaust system.
  When using slings, an appropriately rated capacity overhead hoist 
is required. Multiple slings at least six (6) inches by twenty (20) feet 
should be used. As with the lifting eye straps above, check the 

Quick 

Reference Guide

 in this Owner’s Manual to determine the boat’s base 

weight, without any added gear. An eight-foot spreader bar on each 
sling will prevent side pressure to the deck or gunwale molding that can 
cause damage. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
  A storage cradle has to provide proper support to the boat, 
meaning the boat cannot be supported by resting the hull on the 
keel. There can be no gaps between the hull and the cradle supports. 
Support of at least 500 square inches is required on boats of less
