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 key 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 four
minutes. Following is a list of monitored functions that can activate the alarm:
Engine Oil Alarm:
RPM’s above 300 and below 1000 with oil pressure below 4 psi.
RPM’s above 1000 with oil pressure below 18 psi.
