about

your

new

boat

Malibu is proud to provide you with the most exciting, cutting-edge technology available in the towing-boat

industry. The boat you have purchased represents the state of the art at the time of manufacture. As you may

expect from the industry’s leader since 1982, Malibu expands and innovates continually. As a result, updated

product or specifications may be introduced during any given model year. Malibu reserves the right to introduce

new product or changes to existing model lines without notification or incurring responsibility to make the same

changes to boats in the market completed prior to the date of change.

This Owner’s Manual has been compiled to address as many potential issues and questions as may arise in

addition to explaining how to operate the boat and its systems correctly and safely as possible to ensure long-

term and enjoyable use. However, Malibu cannot anticipate every potential situation that can arise, affecting

the care and protection of your boat, nor every circumstance that could arise in the operation or care of the

boat when not in use. Malibu strongly recommends reading any and all additional information provided by

component manufacturers’ and supplied with the boat at time of purchase. Also check out websites for Malibu

and its component manufacturers periodically to stay abreast of any changes, updates, service bulletins and

general information. Malibu will use these various methods of communication, from this Owner’s Manual and

including, but not limited to, direct mail contact and website updates, to make every reasonable effort to apprise

you of the information you will need to continue long-term and highly satisfactory use of your boat.
