engine. During operation, pressure builds up in the reservoir.
Opening it before the cooling system has had time for pressure
relief likely will result in an eruption of fluid. It will also be
sufficiently hot to seriously burn skin. Always allow sufficient
time for the fluid to cool and return to pre-operation levels.
It may be necessary to periodically add coolant as a small
amount of evaporation occurs naturally. When adding coolant, use
only a 5-year, extended warranty antifreeze (propylene glycol),
either a premixed 50/50 mix or create a mix of 50 percent extended
warranty antifreeze plus 50 percent distilled water. (Do not use tap
or other water as other elements in the water can cause build ups
or deposits within the closed cooling system. This can interfere
with proper operation and resulting damage is not covered under
warranty.) The coolant must be propylene glycol coolant only. Never
use ethylene glycol or Dex-Cool, nor ever attempt to mix coolants as
they will not properly mix. Use of unapproved coolant will void the
warranty.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, run the
bilge blower for about four (4) minutes
with the engine compartment open, to
ensure the fuel vapor is dissipated prior to operation.
Check Coolant Level
Be certain the emergency safety stop switch is disconnected,
and the shifter/throttle is in neutral. Open the engine compartment
hatch and locate the coolant reservoir. The reservoir will be located
on the port side of the engine between the manifold and the intake
diagonally behind the alternator. The reservoir features a full
marking.
This is not the same as filling the reservoir until is completely
full. The reservoir requires expansion room while in operation;
therefore, the full marking is slightly lower than the top of the tank.
Never open the coolant reservoir when
the engine has been running. This check
should be done prior to starting the
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.
Failure to follow the care and
maintenance instructions as provided
in this section of the Owner’s 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 on-board in situations that could result in
potentially dangerous situations.
The following engine-related information is provided for the Malibu
Monsoon Engines. Unless otherwise directed, the instructions are
applicable to all engines. Detailed information follows this section.
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 (details follow)
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.
Failure to follow the maintenance
instructions provided in this manual
will result in the voiding of the Limited
Warranty explained in its own section of this manual.
