Max Pivot Seat
Malibu offers a sliding Max Pivot Seat that has the ability to be
configured into following positions: forward facing, rear facing,
lounge/bed, low table, high table.
To move the bench into different positions in the boat, in the boat
pull the grab handle from the center of the cushion (located just
under the seat in front). This will allow you to lift the front of the
bench from the stowed slot position and into your desired location
in the lounge. This will give you a forward-facing position in three
locations; there is one stowed location and two separate locations in
the 26 LSV.
To move back into the stowed position, repeat the pulling action
to lift it out of the slot and then guide the bench back down the track
towards the transmission cover until it locks into its position.
To configure into the rear-facing position or lounge/bed:
• Move the bench to the first or second slot location following the
steps above.
• Locate the tab on the vertical starboard side arm in a finger-width
slot.
• Pull the tab up with a finger on your left hand; hold it while also
pulling back on the rear of the lean-back with your right hand.
• Pivot the lean-back toward you until you hear an audible click.
• After you’ve heard the audible click, release the tab that has been
held with your finger and allow the lean-back to gently fold down
flat.
If you’d like to leave it as a bed or lounge, leave it in this position. You
can utilize this position in the first or second slot. If you’d like to use
it as a rear-facing seat, continue by pulling up on the bottom cushion
so it pivots up in the direction of the transom. After you’ve heard an
audible click, it is then locked into the rear-facing position.
To put it back in the stowed position from the rear-facing, pull
the tab in the finger-width slot on the arm that is currently vertical
towards the top of the seat, hold it, and then push the cushion to-
wards rear of the boat. After you’ve heard an audible click, you can
release the tab on the starboard side of the seat and let the cushion
down gently.
To configure into the either the low table or the high table from
the original stowed position:
• Move the bench to the first or second slot location following the
steps above.
• Locate the tab on the starboard side arm in a finger-width slot.
• Pull the tab up with a finger on your left hand; hold it while also
pulling back on the rear of the seat with your right hand.
• Pivot the lean-back towards you until you hear an audible click. •
After you’ve heard the audible click, release the tab that has been
held with your finger and allow the lean-back to gently fold down
flat.
To position it into the high table, continue by pulling up on the for-
ward most edge of the bottom cushion so it pivots up in the direction
of the transom. After you’ve heard an audible click, it is then locked
into the rear-facing position.
Locate the circular twist knob on the back side of the lean-back,
located towards the forward edge of the table. Twist the knob in a
counter-clockwise direction to unlock the pins holding the lean-
back in place. Then, grab the bottom of the vertical lean-back and
pull on it to swivel the bottom of lean-back towards the bow.
After it’s been swiveled far enough, it will automatically lock into
the next position, which in this case will be the table.
