Never attempt to close an
overloaded glove box. Trying
to force the lid closed could
result in damage that is not
covered under warranty. Avoid pinching fingers, hands and
other body parts while closing the glove box lid.
Do not store any aerosol items in the glove box. These can over -
heat and leak and/or rupture. Any liquid or semi-liquid material placed
in the glove box may spill or overheat. Care should always be used
when placing liquids such as suntan lotion in the glove box. Malibu is
not responsible for such misjudgments.
If any water does intrude into the glove box, clean it out as soon
as practical. Mold and mildew can result if even small amounts of wa
-
ter are not removed. As with any storage location, any spills should
be cleaned efficiently to avoid damage and/or odors.
Models: All models have a glove box located forward of and
adjacent to the observer seat.
Storage Compartments
Malibu boats have multiple storage compartments available through -
out the boat. In general, storage is available in the bow, gunwale and
floor. Some models will also have transom storage. Also, some models
may have interior lighting within the storage compartments.
As much as possi -
ble, gear and property
brought on-board
should be stowed in
storage compartments
to prevent movement of
items during the outing.
Unsecured items could
strike and potentially
injure individuals on-
board during operation.
Be sure to distrib
-
ute items throughout
the boat and compen
-
sate for the persons on-board. Weight should be as evenly distrib -
uted throughout the boat as possible to avoid negatively affecting
control. Never try to close an overloaded storage compartment.
Forcing a compartment closed can result in damage to the boat that
is not covered under warranty.
Anything brought on-board
should be stored in a desig-
nated storage compartment
if at all possible to avoid the potential of being struck
by an unsecured item while underway. This could result
in serious injury or even death. Items should be evenly
distributed and with attention to the number of passengers
and where they will sit. Even distribution of added weight
is critical to a safe operation.
Storage compartments should be cleaned out in accordance with
Care and Maintenance instructions in this Owner’s Manual. At least
annually, all compartments require a thorough cleaning. If anything
with residual odor is placed in a storage compartment, or if anything
has spilled in the compartment, cleaning should occur as quickly as
possible afterwards.
Never force a compartment
closed as overloading could
cause damage to the boat,
and that is not covered under
warranty. Storage compartments should be kept clean.
Failure to do so may result in damage or permanent
discoloring and/or odors that are also not covered under
warranty.
Models: All models.
Removable Cooler
Adding more conve -
nience is a marine-grade,
removable cooler. Any
cooler of the same or
smaller size will fit in the
same location under the
seating immediately aft
of the driver’s seat, but
Malibu recommends
marine-grade coolers as
they use stainless-steel
hardware, which is
advisable in the type of
atmosphere in which it
will be used. Although the supplied cooler has a liner that reduces
odor absorption, it is a good idea to clean out the cooler after each
use. Odors may still penetrate, and spills can stain. Such occurrenc
-
es are not covered under warranty.
Models: All models, except Response/TXi.
