Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
All current Malibu Boats are equipped with electronic throttle control. The helm throttle
control “E-MV3” is now dual, variable voltage potentiometer that sends electronic signals
back to the engine ECM via a shielded wire harness with the highest quality water-tight
connectors that mates to the engine ECM. The ECM then uses the signals from the E-MV3
to precisely control the engine speed with an electronic throttle body. Do not make any
modifications to the throttle control to ensure proper operation.
Throttle failure:
If for any reason, any part of the electronic throttle control system fails;
(unplugged, wire cut, short, loss of power, sensor failure) the engine controller will default to
“Idle.” You will have “no” control of the throttle, the “Engine Fault” alarm will also be
activated. If this ever happens; turn the key OFF and then restart. This will reset the
computer area network. If this condition continues, take the boat to the dealer.
For more information regarding the safe operation and maintenance of the throttle control,
refer to the separate instructions located in the information packet shipped with your boat.
Steering System
It is important that you get the “feel” of your Malibu boat’s steering system. Turn the
wheel from full left to full right, and make sure the rudder is turning accordingly. The
system should operate freely and smoothly. See
Malibu Exclusive Adjustable Rudder
System in Chapter 3 for rudder adjustment.
Notice:
It is normal for your Malibu steering to pull slightly to the right
under normal driving conditions.
Emergency Engine Stop Switch
The emergency stop switch attaches to the operator of the
boat and shuts down the engine if the operator is
accidentally forced away from the helm.
The switch consists of an ON/OFF switch and a switch
clip/lanyard clip, which is connected between the stop clip
and the operator. Should the operator move away from the
controls, the clip pulls free, flipping the switch to the OFF
position and stopping the engine. If the engine must be
shut down quickly, a pull on the lanyard cord to release
the clip from the switch will stop the engine.
To reset the switch after activation, reinstall the lanyard clip and flip switch to the UP
position.
