Fuel/Oil Spillage
The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the environment and is dangerous to wildlife. DO
NOT EVER
discharge or dispose of fuel, oil or other chemicals into the water; it is prohibited and can result in
fines. These are three common, accidental types of discharge:
• During initial fueling of a nearly empty tank
• Overfilling the fuel tanks
• Pumping contaminated bilge water
Fumes from rags can collect in the bilge and pose an extremely hazardous
fire and explosion risk, which can result in injury or death. Never store rags
used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat. Dispose of rags properly
ashore.
Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food, wood, detergents, sewerage and even fish parts
in certain waters – in short, nearly everything. We recommend you bring back everything you take out with you
for proper disposal ashore.
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise, loud conversation, or even yelling. Many bodies of water have
adopted noise limits. Noise can carry a considerable distance on water, especially at night. Be sure to follow
regulations and be courteous.
Speed/ Wake/Wash
Be alert for NO WAKE zones. You are responsible for any damage or injury caused by your wake/wash. Prior
to entering a NO WAKE
zone, reduce throttle, come off plane to the slowest steerable speed. Use caution when
operating around smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested areas.
Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits for the operation of boats, including, but not
limited to, no-wake zones. Check local, state, and federal agencies as to laws and regulations. The U.S. Coast
Guard and local boating authorities are excellent sources for this information, which can include penalties for
failure to observe the requirements.
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull
clean for peak performance. Consult your Malibu dealer for information.
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce
the growth rate. Be aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint choice. Contact your local
boating authorities for information.
Cleaning Agents
Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and
be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas while cleaning your boat. DO NOT use products which
contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products. Refer to the Care and
Maintenance section in this manual for more information.
