readings are usually a sign of low voltage or loose connection(s). Even if the reading appears correct, if there were any symptoms of
voltage insufficiency or error during a previous outing, check with an authorized Malibu dealer before undertaking another outing.
You do not want to become stranded with a dead battery away from the dock.
The current boat models are equipped with a low-voltage alarm. Even with a fully charged battery on-board, it is possible to
discharge so much that the boat becomes disabled. If running the stereo components with the engine OFF, periodically check the
voltage reading to ascertain how much has been discharged. To avoid difficulties in re-starting the engine, the system will shut off
the stereo and sound an alarm if the voltage level falls below 10.5 volts. The alarm will continue for approximately two (2) minutes
to allow everyone out of the water around the transom, and the boat operator to restart the engine to allow the engine alternator to
recharge the battery.
As noted above, do not attempt to jump-start a dead battery. This is not only dangerous but puts undue stress on the boat engine’s
alternator, which may cause it to fail. This is not covered under warranty.
Attaching the wrong battery cable or using jumper cables can result in damage to electrical components on the boat.
Such damage is not covered under warranty.
Fuel levels should be noted prior to an outing. Malibu recommends starting all outings with a full tank and returning to shore
to refuel whenever the fuel readings drop into the one-quarter (1/4) range as falling lower can result in engine issues. (See Fueling
information in the Get Ready section of this Owner’s Manual.) Failure to pay attention to the fuel level can result in the boat running
out of fuel and leaving the boat stranded. Malibu does not pay for towing in instances of fuel miscalculation.
After the Outing
GIVE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT A
GENERAL INSPECTION
Look for signs of leaks or anything abnormal. It’s
a simple thing, but often the simplest, quick look can
pinpoint an issue before it becomes a problem.
CHECK THE OTHER COMPONENTS
This is a common sense approach. If you’ve
been boating in dirty water, cleaning out the sea
strainer now instead of waiting until the debris
inside it has dried (and therefore become more
difficult to remove) makes sense. You want to check
the paddlewheel, rudder, propeller, and driveshaft
to make sure they appear intact, too, especially if
you suspect that you may have struck something
submerged during the outing. These are easy checks
after the boat has been loaded on the trailer and
removed from the water.
Check anything else on the boat that did not
function as expected during the outing and seek
assistance from your authorized Malibu dealer about
any concerns and issues prior to the next outing.
NOTE HOW MUCH FUEL AND BATTERY CHARGE WERE USED
Malibu recommends keeping a chart or binder with information from your outing. If you note the conditions during the outing,
the length of time, and the final readings, you’ll have a much better idea of normal operations. That gives you the clues you need when
readings are different or you are anticipating an outing that will be different and you need to prepare for those conditions.
GIVE THE BOAT A GOOD GENERAL CLEANING AS OUTLINED IN THE ON-GOING CARE INFORMATION THAT
PRECEDES THIS SECTION
As noted earlier, On-Going Care is important. Read that section to determine the normal expectations regarding routine care.
