Add or remove fluid as necessary to maintain the level at the mark. Use only
recommended automotive transmission fluid. You will find recommended fluid
types in your Indmar Owner’s Manual.
Rudder Stuffing Box
The rudder stuffing box has a grease nipple and should be checked and lubricated
annually. The rudder stuffing box is accessed through the rear center access panel directly
below the fuel tank. Use only a marine grade, waterproof grease.
Shaft Packing
Located in the bilge, under the rear center access panel, is the shaft packing. The shaft
packing is a seal where the prop shaft goes through the hull of the boat. This seal should
be checked and tightened periodically. Please note that it is normal for a small amount of
leakage to occur from this seal. It should leak at the rate of about one drop every ten
seconds.
Fuel System
Fuel Shutoff Valve
The Fuel Shutoff Valve is located on the top of all fuel tanks and is
accessed through the aft storage compartment. The valve is used to
prevent fuel from reaching the engine. It is recommended that these
valves be closed during long periods of inactivity or storage. Please
note where the location of your Fuel Shutoff Valve is on your
particular boat.
Since Fuel Shutoff Valves are located in the storage
compartment, the valve can be inadvertently closed by
stowed equipment. If your boat should suddenly loose power,
check the valve to ensure that the valve is in the ON position
(in line with the fuel hose).
Fuel Filter
A fuel filter is located 6 to 12 inches from the fuel pickup above the fuel tank. The filter
is used to remove debris from the fuel being sent to the engine. The filter should be
changed after each season of boat use. Often the fuels used at local marinas will have a
considerable amount of debris in it and could eventually cause your engine to run
erratically. See your Local Malibu dealer for servicing.
Hoses
Fuel lines, vent hoses, and drain hoses should be checked frequently for leaks. If this is
occurring around the fitting, tightening of the hose clamps may be all that is necessary.
However, if the leak continues, replace the hose immediately to prevent a build-up of
fluids or gases. Surface cracking on hoses indicates wear, and replacement is
recommended. Use fuel system parts certified for marine use only. Do not substitute with
automotive parts.
