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, transmission fluid, inspect the
cooling fluid, clean the sea strainer, inspect the air filter, check
the heat exchanger, and perform an alignment check on the
engine among a variety of checks and inspections that will
yield diagnostic clues to how well the engine and drive train are
performing during the break-in period.
Check the Safety Equipment
If you have not done so previously, check the fire
extinguishers and personal flotation devices. Check the
condition of (and replace as necessary) drain plugs, bilge pumps,
and exhaust flaps. Repair or replace anything that appears
damaged or incapable of performing its function.
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.
Your dealer will verify many functions of the boat for you,
some of which should never be tested or checked by the
consumer, such as the pressurized fuel systems that require
unique tools.
Even when the authorized Malibu dealer performs the annual
maintenance work, consumers are well advised to pay attention
to several components on the boat. These include:
Engine Mounts and Engine Alignment
Your engine is held firmly in place by special marine grade
engine mounts that are built and installed to withstand the
kinds of stresses unique to a boating environment. Drive train
alignment is critical to providing a reliable on-water experience.
At any time during operation, regardless of the amount of time
on the hourmeter, that there is excessive vibration, the boat
should be presented to an authorized Malibu dealer to check
the alignment. Continued operation could result in damage to
the drive train that is not covered under warranty. Not every
vibration is the result of misalignment, which can occur even
during normal operation, but all vibrations should be checked by
an authorized Malibu Engine dealer to confirm or rule out the
alignment as the cause.
In checking the engine mounts, be sure to do this before
starting the engine. Components on the engine can become hot
enough to burn skin. Avoid this by checking before starting.
Any time you suspect an engine mount is loose, it must
be tightened. Allowing the engine to shake or move during
operation, adversely affects the entire drive train and could cause
damage that would not be covered under warranty.
Vibrations are the symptom of a concerning issue involving your
boat. When a vibration is detected, the boat needs to be analyzed,
particularly the engine and drive train alignment. Misalignment can
cause significant damage to the drive train, and such damage is not
covered under warranty.
