• Do not load the boat to its maximum load capacity until
after the first oil change. Maintain the correct oil level as
measured on the dipstick during the break-in period.
• Monitor the gauges and video screens closely as these are
your first line of defense.
• Abnormal vibrations or unusual noises could be
symptomatic of additional problems that are not registered
by the gauges and video screens.
• The boat must be returned to an authorized Malibu dealer
for the first service/scheduled maintenance. The purpose
is to allow a trained technician to interpret any signs of
malfunction or anomaly that may have occurred. Catching
these symptoms early is critical to avoiding potentially
damaging events that might not be covered under warranty.
• The dealer will change oil and the transmission fluid, as well
as check the cooling fluid, clean the sea strainer, and do an
alignment check on the engine.
• Verify that the propeller remains properly mounted and
undamaged. Propeller information is provided in the How It
Work s section of this manual.
At 10 hours (and never later than 15 hours), the engine
oil and oil filter must be changed. Malibu requires that this
procedure be done by the authorized Malibu dealer as the
service technicians are trained to look for the difference
between acceptable signs of engine wear as differentiated
from abnormal. This can make the difference in ensuring a
long life for your drivetrain. Failure to have the oil change
completed by an authorized Malibu dealer may void the
warranty!
If your dealer is not conveniently close by, instructions for
oil and filter change procedures has been provided for oil
changes AFTER the break-in, 10-hour oil change. After the
break-in period, follow the instructions presented in the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual.
Vapor Lock
Vapor lock seldom occurs. It can happen, mostly likely
as a result of excessive ambient temperatures in the engine
compartment following a fairly lengthy period of idling
the engine, idling following a high-speed run, or increased
temperatures when a hot engine is shut off and the flow of
cooling water ceases too soon.
Malibu engines are equipped with an anti-vapor lock valve that
separates the vapor from the fuel in the system while the engine
is running. In most instances, this activity eliminates the situation
in which vapor lock can happen.
However, when operating the boat in excessively warm
weather or with some gasoline blends/formulae, vapor lock could
still occur. If it does, try the following steps:
1. Run the bilge blower as you would prior to starting the
engine, for a minimum of 4 minutes, prior to trying to start
the engine.
2. Make sure the engine hatch is opened to introduce more
Check the engine oil level frequently during the break-in process. It
is normal for the engine to use oil at this time, often at a greater
rate than will occur later. The dipstick is located mid-block on the
starboard side of the engine, between the intake and manifold. It has
a circular yellow handle. Add only full-synthetic 5w30 engine oil for
M5DI and M6DI engines and 0W40 FOR LT4 engines. DO NOT USE
ENGINE ADDITIVES AT ANY TIME. ENGINE ADDITIVES WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTICE
Failure to follow break-in instructions can result in long-term
performance issues or damage to critical components of the
drivetrain. Such failure is not covered under warranty.
