Section 8: Other Matters Related to the Limited Warranty
In addition to the Limited Warranty terms and exclusions noted above, the following are additional important considerations
regarding the Limited Warranty:
Section 8.1. Pre-Delivery.
Defects and/or damage to the finish surfaces, trim, upholstery or other observable cosmetic components of your Malibu Boat may
occur during production. These items are usually detected and corrected prior to shipment to the dealership or by the retail dealer
prior to delivery to the retail customer. Nonetheless, consumers are encouraged to inspect the boat for this type of damage prior
to taking delivery, and all such defects or damage must be reported to the retail Malibu Boat dealer at the time of delivery
to have any items covered by this Limited Warranty addressed, and to have any covered defects repaired at no cost to the
Purchaser.
Section 8.2. Boat Operation, Care and Maintenance.
To ensure the maximum benefit from ownership of this boat, Malibu Boats requires that you follow all of the instructions in
this Owner’s Manual, including all accompanying maintenance or service schedules and support material. Because questions may
sometimes arise relating to the cause of a particular failure, Malibu Boats strongly recommends keeping detailed records of any and
all maintenance or service performed on the boat to assist, if necessary, in the determination of whether a failure is covered under this
Limited Warranty. Damages to a Malibu Boat caused by improper operation, care and maintenance are not covered by this Limited
Warranty.
Section 8.3. Design and/or Manufacturing Changes.
Malibu Boats reserves the right to implement changes in the construction or components of any Malibu Boat at any time, without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on Malibu Boats previously built and/or sold.
Section 8.4. Other Warranties.
Some manufacturers of component parts included in a Malibu Boat may provide limited warranties. Please refer to component
part manufacturer’s limited warranty disclosures, if any, for details, including their terms, conditions and limitations, of which
Malibu Boats makes no representations or warranties.
Among other warranties, note that certain items including, but not limited to, power train systems, Biminis and boat covers are
among those components covered by individual, separate warranties, which are explained and set forth in materials supplied by the
component part manufacturer. Any and all claims or defects should be submitted directly to the manufacturers of those particular
component parts.
Section 8.5. No Other Warranties.
No oral or written information, advice or communication of any nature by or from Malibu Boats or its representatives, employees,
dealers, agents, distributors or suppliers shall create a warranty or in any manner increase or modify the scope of this Limited Warranty.
