How It Works | 2021 OWNERS MANUAL
The glove box is
convenient for storing
personal items while boating
as well. While the glove box
is not waterproof, its design
reduces the likelihood of
damage from water that
may come onboard. Malibu
does not warrant the level of
water-resistance available when using the glove box.
The glove box opens by pushing on the button on the front
of the lid. Closing requires only shutting the lid tight. Closing
requires minimal effort. If more effort is required, it is likely the
glove box is overloaded, and some material should be removed
prior to closing.
Do not store any aerosol items in the glove box. These can
overheat and leak and/or rupture. Any liquid or semi-liquid
material placed in the glove box may spill or overheat. Care
should always be used when placing liquids such as suntan
lotion in the glove box. Malibu is not responsible for such
misjudgments.
Should any water intrude into the glove box, clean it out as
soon as practical. Mold and mildew can result if even small
amounts of water are not removed. As with any storage location,
any spills should be cleaned efficiently to avoid damage and/or
odors.
Models:
All models have a glove box located forward of and
adjacent to the observer seat.
Storage Compartments
Malibu boats have multiple storage compartments available
throughout the boat. In general, storage is available in the bow,
gunwale, and floor. Some models will also have transom storage
and may have interior lighting within the storage compartments.
As much as possible, gear and property brought onboard
should be stowed in storage compartments to prevent
movement of items during the outing. Unsecured items could
strike and potentially injure individuals onboard during operation.
Be sure to distribute items throughout the boat and
compensate for the persons onboard. Weight should be as
evenly distributed throughout the boat as possible to avoid
negatively affecting control. Never try to close an overloaded
storage compartment. Forcing a compartment closed can result
in damage to the boat that is
not covered under warranty.
Storage compartments
should be cleaned out in
accordance with the Care and
Maintenance instructions in
the manual. At least annually,
all compartments require
a thorough cleaning. If
anything with residual odor is placed in a storage compartment,
or if anything has spilled in the compartment, cleaning should
occur as quickly as possible afterwards.
Never force a compartment closed as overloading could cause
damage to the boat and that is not covered under warranty.
Storage compartments should be kept clean. Failure to do so
may result in damage or permanent discoloring and/or odors that
are also not covered under warranty.
Models:
Available on all models.
Removable Cooler
Adding more
convenience is
a marine-grade,
removable
cooler (slide-out
removable cooler
in the M240).
Any cooler of the
same or smaller
size will fit in the
same location
under the seating immediately aft of the driver’s seat, but
Malibu recommends marine-grade coolers as they use stainless-
steel hardware, which is advisable in the type of atmosphere in
which it will be used. Although the supplied cooler has a liner
that reduces odor absorption, it is a good idea to clean out the
cooler after each use. Odors may still penetrate, and spills can
stain. Such occurrences are not covered under warranty. Cooler
storage location varies by model.
To remove the cooler in the M240, press the release pin
located to right of the cooler plate. The cooler will slide out
after the plate is lowered. Be certain the cooler is in place
and the plate has been re-secured prior to the boat resuming
movement. Otherwise, the cooler may become dislodged, and
result in injury.
To ensure the cooler is locked and will not slide out during
operation, check that the secondary latch is secure. It is located
to the left side of the cooler plate. Rotate it about 30 degrees
clockwise to lock the slide mechanism in the closed position.
Models:
All models, except Response/TXi.
Cup Holders
All boats are equipped with
cup holders. The cup holders
are sized for contemporary,
normal-sized cups. Malibu
recommends using only cups
Never attempt to close an overloaded glove box. Trying to force the
lid closed could result in damage that is not covered under warranty.
Avoid pinching fingers, hands, and other body parts while closing the
glove box lid.
NOTICE
DANGER
!
Anything brought onboard should be stored in a designated storage
compartment if at all possible to avoid the potential of being struck by
an unsecured item while underway. This could result in serious injury
or even death. Items should be evenly distributed and with attention
to the number of passengers and where they will sit. Even distribution
of added weight is critical to a safe operation.
