Do not operate the boat in water too shallow for the strut, strut
housing, and propeller to operate. Obstructions can also damage
these components, rendering them inoperable. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
NOTICE
extend below the hull. Operation in water that is too shallow
or among obstructions can damage the components and
make it impossible to continue boating.
Propeller
Different conditions, including altitude or specific
characteristics of individual bodies of water can impact
boating enjoyment. If environmental conditions are suspected
of negatively impacting performance, discuss this with an
authorized Malibu dealer, who may be able to recommend
minor changes to the propeller, or replacement of a propeller
at the consumer’s choice and expense, that will improve
circumstances for that particular application. There are limits
to changes that are approved by Malibu engineers. Changes
that exceed those standards will void the warranty. Extreme
changes an also alter the safe handling of the boat and its
maneuverability.
Never allow anyone to be in the water forward of the
bow or behind the boat when the boat engine is running,
even if the boat is in neutral gear. If the shifter/throttle
is inadvertently put into gear, the boat could potentially run
over persons in the water. A moving propeller is extremely
dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
Paddlewheel
There are two sources for speed that provide speed
information to the Command Center or speedometer of the
boat: the paddlewheel and GPS (both are standard). The
method to switch between speed sources (paddlewheel and
GPS) is explained in the Dashes and Video Screens section of
this manual.
Because this affects the cruise control, be sure that the
paddlewheel and GPS operation is unimpeded. To verify GPS
operation is correct, verify that the GPS puck has a clear
line-of-site to the sky. This is in front of the 12” screen in the
center of the dash.
Raw Water Intake/Sea Strainer
The raw-water intake brings water out of the body of
water for cooling circulation in the engine. It is circulated and
returned to the body of water via the exhaust system.
Both paddlewheel and raw-water intake/sea strainer must
always be free of debris. Any boating that takes place in
brackish water or water with flora, should be interrupted
periodically to be certain that no weeds have become tangled
with anything under the hull. See the Care and Maintenance
section in this manual for information on how to properly
remove debris from the raw-water intake/sea strainer.
Stern Thruster
The stern thruster (limited availability as an option) is a
propulsion device to aid in safer docking. Maneuvering in tight
locations is easier by allowing the operator to turn the boat
to port or starboard without forward motion. The thruster is
operated by a switch on the shifter/throttle.
The thruster will operate
only when the boat engine
is running. Push the rocker
switch on the handle UP
to direct water out of the
starboard side of the tunnel,
which causes the bow to
move to port. Pushing the
rocker switch on the handle
DOWN will direct water out
of the port side of the tunnel,
pushing the bow to the starboard side.
Shower
The shower control panel is in the starboard motor-well
storage area. The panel has an ON-OFF toggle switch. In the
ON position, the knob rotates to the left for more hot water, and
to the right to add colder water to the mix.
The shower nozzle pulls out of the deck at the transom. Twist
the nozzle counterclockwise to start the stream of water. When
finished showering, twist the shower nozzle clockwise to turn
it off and return it to its retracted position. Reset the shower
control knob to the center and then turn OFF the switch.
Note that the hot water comes from the engine manifold,
and the cold water is brought onboard through the starboard
rear ballast tank’s fill pump. The hoses connect to a pump that
is located inside the engine compartment, aft of the engine and
secured to the transom. The shower wand/nozzle connects to
that pump.
Leaving the shower running can result in extra water intruding
into the bilge compartment. This can cause issues that are
addressed in detail in the Bilge information provided in this
Consumers may choose to change characteristics of propellers or even
replace them. Malibu recommends doing so only after consulting with
an authorized Malibu dealer as exceeding Malibu standards for the
propulsion system will void the warranty.
NOTICE
DANGER
!
Care must be taken to avoid being in the water forward or aft of the
boat when the engine is running, even if the boat is not in a moving
gear. If the shifter/throttle goes into gear, there may not be time for
people to get out of the way. Propeller edges are sharp. With motion,
propellers can maim or become lethal.
Debris in the body of water, including naturally occurring vegetation,
can become entwined with the components under the hull. This can
result in damage to the boat, particularly if the debris interferes with
the raw water intake, starving the drive train of necessary cooling
water. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
