CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), together with Malibu
Boats, LLC (“Malibu Boats”) are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”) on your 2020 inboard
engine. In the United States, new inboard engines must be designed,
built and equipped to meet all Federal- and State-mandated anti-
smog standards.
Malibu Boats must warrant the emission control system on your
inboard engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there
has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of the inboard
engine. Your emission control system may include parts such as the
fuel injection system and the ignition system. Also included may be
hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Malibu Boats will repair
your inboard engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
Select electronic emission-related control parts from model
year 2019 forward on Malibu Boats inboard engines are warranted
for five (5) years or 500 hours as recorded on the boat’s hour meter,
whichever comes first.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective under
warranty as described in the Malibu Boats Limited Warranty
Statement, the part will be repaired or replaced by Malibu Boats.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the inboard engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in this Owner’s
Manual. Malibu Boats recommends retaining all receipts received
as a result of the maintenance performed on your inboard engine.
Malibu Boats cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
Malibu Boats may deny warranty coverage if the inboard engine
or component part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
To receive warranty correction(s), you are responsible for
presenting your inboard engine to a Malibu Boats authorized servicing
dealership as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be
completed in a reasonable amount of time not to exceed thirty (30)
days.
If you have questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, please contact Malibu Boats at (865) 458-5478.

conform with all applicable regulations adopted by CARB, pursuant
to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26, of the Health
and Safety Code, and by the EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 1045. The engine
is warranted that it is free of defects in materials and workmanship
that could cause the failure of a warranted part. It is identical in all
material respects to parts as described in the engine manufacturer’s
