14 Safety | 2021 OWNER’S MANUAL
Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits
for the operation of boats, including, but not limited to, no-
wake zones. Check local, state, and federal agencies as to
laws and regulations. The USCG and local boating authorities
are excellent sources for this information, which can include
penalties for failure to observe the requirements.
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our
water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for
peak performance. Consult your Malibu dealer for informa-
tion.
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a
problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth
rate. Be aware of environmental regulations that may govern
your paint choice. Contact your local boating authorities for
information.
Cleaning Agents
Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not
discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure
to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas while cleaning
your boat. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates,
chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable, or petroleum-based
products. Refer to the Care and Maintenance section in this
manual for more information.
MARPOL Treaty
The USCG enforces the International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from ships, commonly referred to as
the MARPOL Treaty (Marine Pollution). This treaty prohibits
the overboard dumping of all ship-generated plastics, chemi-
cals, garbage, and oil.
On Product Warning Labels
Warning Labels & Locations
Warning labels are placed at specific locations on your Malibu
boat at the time of manufacture to alert you to potential hazards
that may not be obvious. These labels also indicate how to avoid
these hazards. Warning labels should never be removed and
must remain legible. If you suspect a label is missing, or if a label
becomes damaged or becomes unreadable (damaged, faded, or
sun bleached), contact your dealer for replacement.
It is the responsibility of the boat owner and occupants of
the boat to understand and comply with all warning labels and
safety recommendations/requirements. The driver of the boat
and the boat owner are responsible for the proper operation of
the boat and the safety of the occupants of the boat. Failure to
adhere to and comply with the on-product warning labels and
safety statements labeled as dangers, warning, and cautions that
appear in this manual can lead to serious injury, or death, as well
as property damage. READ AND ADHERE TO ALL WARNING
PLATES AND LABELS from bow to stern, including those
that are installed inside the engine compartment, lockers, and
underneath seating.
