2021 OWNER’S MANUAL | Care & Maintenance 141
When it is secured, fully turn on the hose (less water flow will be
inadequate to flush the system and could result in damage to the
system that is not covered under warranty.)
Turn the engine on to move water through the system. At
no time should you ever exceed 1,100 rpm. The water flow is
insufficient to cool the engine via the flush if the rpm exceeds
1,100.
Run clean water through the system for approximately 8-10
minutes.
After running clean water through the system as prescribed,
turn the engine off. Turn off the water source for the hose.
Disconnect the hose and reinstall the cap securely on the flush
kit connector at the transom. If the cap is not secure, air will be
introduced into the system that will adversely affect the boat’s
cooling system.
Before boating again, be sure the raw water pickup is
opened.
Corrosion in Fresh Water
The immediate previous information covers care and
maintenance in salt or brackish water conditions. However,
it has been demonstrated that corrosion can occur in any
water. As noted at the beginning of the Care and Maintenance
section, keeping your boat and trailer clean—and dry, when not
boating—is critical to a satisfactory experience. Corrosion can
occur in any humid atmosphere. Even when boating in clean
water, part of the care and maintenance should include regularly
reviewing all metal areas on the boat and trailer for signs of
corrosion. Any sign of corrosion requires immediate attention.
Corroded components must be treated and/or replaced to avoid
further corrosion. Note that corrosion is not covered under
warranty.
Routine Maintenance
Attention to the mechanical components of the boat are as
critical as any matter in ensuring a long, enjoyable ownership.
Some boat maintenance is required prior to and following
every outing, some must be done on a regular schedule, and
some must be done in accordance with proper storage and
winterization. Because of the complexity of some components,
such as the fuel system, you will need to seek assistance from an
authorized Malibu dealer’s service department. Other issues can
be easily accomplished by the boat operator.
The following engine and drivetrain related information
appearing in this section of the manual is intended for
Malibu built engines and drive trains. The instructions must
be followed in order to keep the warranty in effect.
Note that these instructions should be followed even after
the warranty period has expired. The instructions developed
for the power trains and drive trains in Malibu boats function
as the guidelines to a long term, positive boating experience.
THE FOLLOWING ENGINE RELATED INFORMATION
IS PROVIDED FOR THE MALIBU MONSOON ENGINES.
UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE
APPLICABLE TO ALL ENGINES.
Before starting the engine:
• Check coolant level.
• Inspect the sea strainer.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the battery holders and the connections.
• Check for odors, particularly fuel odors.
After starting the engine:
• Check for odors, particularly from exhaust emissions.
• Be certain that the battery registers as fully charged and
that there is enough fuel for the outing.
After the outing:
• Give the engine compartment a general inspection.
• Check the other components.
• Note how much fuel was used and the state of charge on
the batteries.
• Give the boat a good general cleaning as outlined in the
Ongoing Care Information that precedes this section.
After 10 hours on the hour meter
• Check the safety equipment.
• Have the oil changed by authorized Malibu dealer. The
dealership will also do several other critical inspections of
the drive train.
After 50 hours or annually (whichever comes first)
There are certain maintenance routines that must be
performed. Due to the complexity of this maintenance,
Malibu recommends it be completed by your authorized
Malibu dealer.
Storage and Winterization
This is critical to the life of the boat. These steps include
ensuring that all water has been evacuated from the boat, the
battery is properly stored, and the boat finished are protected.
Information is also provided regarding the proper lifting of
the boat from the water if it will be stored at any time by that
method instead of resting on a custom-built Malibu trailer.
Corrosion can occur to any metal component of the boat and/or
trailer if care is not taken to keep such components clean and dry
when not boating. Such corrosion is not covered under warranty.
Deterioration of components due to corrosion can result in component
failure, which can lead to serious injury or death.
! WARNING
Failure to follow the care and maintenance instructions as provided
in this section of the manual can result in damage to the engine and
transmission that is not covered under warranty. The rest of the care
and maintenance information provided for the boat is also critical to
long-term success in boat operations. Under some circumstances,
failure to follow the instructions, especially as noted on a timely basis,
could result in the boat becoming inoperable, stranding boaters and/
or placing those onboard in situations that could result in potentially
dangerous situations.
