114 How It Works | 2021 OWNERS MANUAL
section of this manual. Please review that information prior to
using the shower, especially the first time.
Extended use of the shower can also result in excessive
discharge from the battery, which could leave the boat
nonoperational, and could potentially damage the bilge pump,
rendering it nonoperational. If the bilge pump does not operate,
excessive water in the bilge system could sink the boat.
Showers should be as brief as possible. To have hot/warm
water available, the engine must run, but as noted in many
sections of this manual, the engine has carbon monoxide as a
byproduct of running engine for any period of time. The exhaust
gases are released from the transom area, but even when
released below the water line, those gases will work their way to
the surface. The danger of breathing carbon monoxide fumes is
addressed throughout this manual and should be viewed with the
utmost caution by everyone onboard.
Models: Available as an option on all models.
Flush Kit
Prior to using the flush kit, clean water must be added from
onshore. Run a garden-type
hose from the clean water
source to the inlet on the port
side of the deck, outside the
engine storage compartment.
Attach securely, but do not
overtighten.
The location of the control
panel for the flush kit is in
the starboard engine storage
compartment. Attach the wand
nozzle to the control panel.
Turn ON/OFF via the toggle
switch. Water ejects only when
the handle grip is squeezed. Do not squeeze until you have
aimed the wand.
If all the water in the holding tank is used immediately release
the handle and turn OFF the toggle switch. Damage can occur
to the flush kit system if the pump runs without water moving
through the system. Remove and store the wand/nozzle until
used again.
Swim Board and Ladders
The swim board provides additional enjoyment of the Malibu
experience. While the swim board, along with the optional
under-swim board ladder and bow ladder, can ease movement
in and out of the water, Malibu reminds users to exercise
caution. When jumping off the boat, always be absolutely certain
that there is sufficient depth. Appearances can be deceptive,
especially in clear water. When using the ladders, use the steps
with care to avoid slipping or falling. Although the swim board is
constructed with anti-skid properties, it is still the responsibility
of users to use care when walking on it, using it to get on, using
it to get into the cockpit, standing or sitting on the swim board.
As noted, multiple times throughout this manual, never allow
anyone to be on the swim board or ladders when the engine is
running due to exhaust fumes.
Be certain the step is properly stowed before operating the
boat. The flip-down step should
be down (and usable) only
when the boat is anchored or
stationary. To use the flip-down
step, pull the lever beneath the
starboard side of the stepdown
to release the step. Take care
not to pinch fingers in the
apparatus when opening or
closing. Additional information
regarding the routine
maintenance of the swim board
is available in the Care and Maintenance section of this manual.
Models: All Malibu boats are equipped with a swim board.
Bow ladders are optional on M240 models.
DANGER
!
Avoid running the boat’s engine if at all possible while anyone
is on the swim platform or sun pad. Exhaust fumes are emitted
from beneath the swim platform and the odorless, colorless carbon
monoxide can sicken or kill before individuals are aware there is
danger. If water for the shower needs to be heated, run the boat
engine as briefly as possible, and shower quickly. NEVER shower for
lengthy periods of time as one might onshore. Move away from the
swim platform and/or sun pad as soon as the shower is turned off and
stowed, to allow time for the fumes to dissipate.
DANGER
!
Even if people are not on the sun pad or swim platform to avoid CO
fumes, do not leave the shower running. Turn off as soon as possible.
Leaving the shower running can result in damage to the pump, which
is not covered under warranty. Excess water in the bilge system as
a result could also swamp the boat, resulting in sinking, which could
endanger the lives of all onboard.
The flush kit switch should ALWAYS be in the OFF position when
there is no water in the tank. Allowing the pump to run without
water can result in damage to the system, which is not covered under
warranty.
