spark-ignition marine watercraft. In California, new
spark-ignition marine watercraft (SIMW) must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.
Malibu Boats must warrant the evaporative emission control system
on your spark-ignition marine watercraft for the period listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance
of your SIMW.
Your evaporative emissions control system may include parts
such as: canisters, carburetors, clamps, connectors, filters, fuel
caps, fuel lines, fuel tanks, valves, vapor hoses, and other associated

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Malibu.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the spark-ignition marine watercraft owner, you are
responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed
in this manual. Malibu recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your spark-ignition marine watercraft, but
Malibu cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
As the spark-ignition marine watercraft owner, you should,
however, be aware that Malibu may deny you warranty coverage
if your spark-ignition marine watercraft or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your spark-ignition marine
watercraft to an Malibu distribution center or service center as soon
as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have
a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact

General Emissions Information
After January 1, 2009, boats sold or registered in California
have a Star label on the port side of the hull adjacent to the vessel
registration, as shown.
Exhaust emissions should be routinely monitored and verified
throughout the life of the boat. The boat owner has responsibility to
ensure that the engine is never modified in any fashion that alters
the emissions occurring during operation. The engines have been
constructed to meet specifications as established by governing
bodies with authority in this matter. Routine maintenance performed
by authorized Malibu dealers should satisfy these requirements,
but having maintenance completed by an authorized Malibu dealer
does not absolve the boat owner from responsibility that emissions
requirements are satisfied in the area in which the boat is owned
and/or operated.
Each engine has an Emissions Control Information (ECI) label
affixed. A sample label is illustrated in this section. Information
appearing on the label must never be altered. If the original, factory-
affixed label is damaged or comes off the engine block, contact an
authorized Malibu dealer immediately for a replacement. Malibu does
not endorse the replacement of these labels by any unauthorized
person.
Engine emissions labels with the designation “CE” in the lower
right-hand corner have been constructed within the parameters of
the Declaration of Conformity requirements. This means that the
engine conforms to the appropriate European Community Directive.
