Towers are configured by Malibu Boats for factory-installed
components. The installation of any components onto the tower of any
Malibu Boat after it leaves Malibu Boats’ factory (“Non-Factory Tower
Components”) may require adjustments to the tower. Further, certain
Non-Factory Tower Components may not be suitable to be installed
on any Malibu Boat’s tower. If Malibu Boats determines that any Non-

any repairs to the tower of a Malibu Boat, or to any other aspect of a
Malibu Boat, Malibu Boats, in its sole discretion, may deny coverage for
such repairs. It is the sole and exclusive obligation of the Purchaser to
verify and ensure that all Non-Factory Tower Components are suitable
to be installed on any Malibu Boat’s tower, and that all Non-Factory
Tower Components are properly installed on any Malibu Boat’s tower.
