Engine/Drive Train
Engine
For information on engine service, maintenance, and break-in period, please refer to your
engine owner’s manual. The maintenance schedule included in this manual outlines
safety checks, lubrication, and general service that should be performed at regular
intervals. It is recommended that any engine replacement parts used for maintenance or
repair be supplied by an authorized Malibu dealer
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.
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.
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.
