Wedge
The Malibu Manual Wedge has been re-designed for 2007.
The wedge foil is a solid, one piece, welded design
constructed from solid stainless steel. The wedge foil no
longer locks in the down position. It is designed to move
up or down freely and locate in the down position.
To lower wedge unit, depress spring loaded pins and lower
foil. Be sure to raise and lock foil in the up position each
time after use.
If your boat is equipped with the Wedge option, you will
find that the unit has two positions - DOWN or UP. To
adjust wedge position, access wedge through the swim
platform door.
Ensure both spring loaded pins
are engaged before taking off.
Excessive speeds over 30 MPH
could cause adverse handling
conditions. It is recommended that you put the Wedge unit in
the UP position if you will be traveling over these speeds.
Scarpa Suppression Plate (SSP)
The Scarpa Suppression plate is an optional add-on feature
available for boats built with the Wedge boat bracket
installed, used to enhance slalom ski wake characteristics on
Response model ski boats. The plate is installed to an
existing
Wedge bracket.
Optional Malibu Launch System (MLS)
The Malibu Launch System (MLS) ballast system allows
water to be stored on board to increase hull weight for larger wakeboard wakes.
Depending on model the MLS can be available as front and rear ballast tanks. If your
boat is equipped with this feature, locate the MLS drain and fill rocker switch on the dash
accessory panel; press switch up to fill, or down to drain.
