Carpet and non-ski deck traction are available in Axis
models. The added comfort requires some additional
attention to the interior of the deck. It is important to allow
the carpet/mat to dry before covering the deck with a
mooring cover or other canvas. (The snap-out carpets can be
removed to air dry.) Although Axis carpets are constructed
from marine-grade materials, if they do not dry thoroughly
before storage, even short-duration, mold and mildew can
set in. Additional information is available in the Care and
Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual.
The snap-out carpet hardware is made from stainless steel
to resist rust and corrosion. However, boat owners and operators should routinely check that the snaps are
in good condition. Any time the snap-out carpets are reinstalled on the deck, be certain that the snaps are
fully connected. Otherwise, the carpet could dislodge or move, causing passengers to slip and fall.
Ensure that snap-out carpets are secure prior to walking on
them. If the snaps are not fully connected, the carpet may not
function as designed. When dislodged, carpets and mats could
cause a passenger to slip and fall.
Models: The AquaFusion carpet and non-skid deck traction are available as options on all Axis models.
Boats are equipped with grab handles for added convenience and safety. Handles are generally inside
the deck above passenger seating and on the transom, centered above the swim platform. The handles
assist boarding, particularly from the swim platform into the deck area. During boat operation, the grab
handles inside the deck can provide additional security for passengers. (No one should ever be on the swim
platform during boat operation. More on this in the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.)
The handles are crafted from stainless steel or anodized aluminum to resist rust and corrosion. Routine
maintenance should include regular cleaning.
Interior grab handles may be used by passengers to hold on to
during boat operation. The handles are sturdy surfaces, which
means that if an individual is thrown against them bruising or
abrasions may result. If the boat is being operated in a manner
that results in excessive movement of the passengers, or if people are shoving each other,
even playfully, at any time, injury is possible. Malibu strongly recommends that this kind
of activity be avoided at all times. Do not use the handles to secure or tie the boat up as this
can cause damage that is not covered by warranty.
Models: All models. Locations vary. Operators and passengers should acquaint themselves with the
locations prior to operation.
A popular option on all models is the heater. Warm air is blown through a liquid/air heat exchanger using
hot water or coolant from the engine. Vent locations vary by model, so owners/operators and passengers
should familiarize themselves with the locations. The vents have sliding, directional gates that can redirect
the air flow, or even shut it off.
The heater is controlled from a dash switch. This is a three-position switch that operates at low or high
speed, or OFF.
Be aware that operation of the heater is a drain on the battery. Review the Electrical section in the
Instrument Panel and Gauges portion of this Owner’s Manual for important information regarding how to
avoid becoming stranded by a fully discharged battery or batteries. Pay attention to the voltmeter reading;
whenever it falls below 10.5 volts, the battery requires recharging.
