Power Wedge and Surf Gate
Manual Extension and Retraction
For boats equipped with these optional features, it is important
for the authorized Malibu dealer to verify the manual extension and
retraction function is operational, in case the consumer ever has to
perform this due to the failure of the automated system controlled
through the video screen.
For the Power Wedge, using a small (stubby) straight
screwdriver, loosen a small red screw on top until it stops. Lift or
lower the wedge to the position desired and then tighten the screw
snugly (but do no over-tighten). Manually cycle the wedge a couple
of times after doing to ensure that the screw is snug and the wedge
moves correctly.
6. As long as the ATF fluid and Mobil SHC 630 Gear and Bearing
Oil appear clear, add the specified fluid (DO NOT add any fluid other
than the specified fluid as it can damage the system and void the
warranty) ONLY to the FULL line. OVER-FILLING CAN DAMAGE
THE SYSTEM!
7. If the fluids do not appear clear, syphon off the fluid and replace
with N EW specified fluid to the FULL line.
8. Even if the fluids appear clear, replace transmission and V-drive
fluids every two years, regardless.
Fuel System
This is important. Debris and water may enter the fuel system,
even with the careful protection built into the system. Periodic
replacement of the fuel filter is required to protect the fuel pump and
provide the proper fuel pressure to the engine. Due to the need to
use only specialized tools that are not available to the public, and
because the fuel lines are pressurized, no fuel system maintenance
can be completed by a consumer. One fuel filter is located within
the fuel tank, while another is on the engine. Even though it is more
accessible, because it is under pressure this also is restricted to
replacement by an authorized Malibu dealer.
While some boat owners may not have a dealer close at
hand, this maintenance needs to be completed
ONLY by trained
technicians with the appropriate, specialized tools. We apologize for
any inconvenience.
An annual replacement is recommended for both filters.
Hydraulic Steering System
The steering in Malibu boats features a hydraulic system that can
be maintained or repaired only with specialized tools. Because of the
potential for physical harm when working on this system, it cannot
be checked, changed or repaired by consumers. Only an authorized
Malibu dealer has access to the tools and system.
Check the Safety Equipment
If you have not done so previously, check the fire extinguishers
and personal flotation devices. Check the condition of (and replace as
necessary) drain plugs, bilge pumps, and exhaust flaps. Repair or replace
anything that appears damaged or incapable of performing its function.
