Troubleshooting the Boat
If any of the following issues cannot be rectified by using the suggested remedies, take your boat to an authorized Malibu dealer
for assistance. Do not attempt to correct problems by methods not recommended in this Troubleshooting Guide. Utilizing other
attempts to correct issues could result in additional problems or damage to a system, which would not be covered under warranty.
General
The boat will not start.
• Verify that the battery switch is ON.
• Be certain the Emergency Safety Stop Switch is attached to the connection point on the driver’s panel and to the boat operator.
• Be certain the engine electrical system is
ON
. Generally, this requires turning the ignition key
ON
or pressing the
ON
button.
• It is possible the display is in a “sleep” mode. Press a key or touch the screen to see if the affected display activates.
• Verify that the battery connections are secure.
• Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for additional suggestions.
The boat will not shift into gear.
• When engaging the transmission from neutral either forward or backward into reverse, pull up on the safety collar located directly
below the throttle lever knob. The safety collar helps avoid unintentional movement into gear.
• When shifting gears, always do so smoothly and briskly. Being either too hard and slamming the gears, or too tentative is hard on
the shifter/throttle system and can result in damage that is not covered under warranty.
The engine/drive train is not operating properly.
• Refer first to the engine owner’s manual for guidance.
• Check the fuel level in the boat to be certain that the engine is not “starving” from lack of fuel or contaminated fuel.
• Check for engine warning messages on the gauges/display. If any are present, take the boat to the closest authorized Malibu dealer
for evaluation and repair.
Gauges, Switches and Video Screens
A gauge or video screen does not light up and work as expected.
• Be certain the engine electrical system is
ON
. Generally, this requires turning the ignition key
ON
or pressing the
ON
button.
• It is possible the display is in a “sleep” mode. Press a key or touch the screen to see if the affected display activates.
• Verify that the battery connections are secure.
• Determine if other gauges, switches and/or video screens are operational. If they are, check the circuit breaker panel to determine
if the breaker has tripped. Reset. If the circuit continues to trip, the boat must be serviced by an authorized Malibu dealer as it
indicates a recurrent and potentially significant problem. Another cause is a loose electrical connection to the non-working gauge/
switch/video screen. This matter should be addressed by an authorized Malibu dealer.
• If a video screen freezes or displays an unreadable or invalid screen, turn the entire system
OFF
, including the engine electrical
system. Allow a few minutes for the system to re-set itself, and then try rebooting the system. If the issue persists or another issue
arises, take the boat to an authorized Malibu dealer for correction. Where equipped, check the battery isolator switch.
Electrical Systems
A boat component that is electrically operated will not operate.
• Be certain the boat electrical system is ON. Generally, this requires turning the ignition key
ON
or pressing the
ON
button.
• Verify that the battery connections are secure and that there is sufficient charge and power. See the
Battery
information in this
Owner’s Manual for additional details.
• Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If it has, reset it. Recurrent trips are indicative of a problem that requires the
attention of an authorized Malibu dealer.
• Check for loose connections, but do not remove any closeout panels to do so. If a loose connection is suspected but cannot be seen,
have the system checked by an authorized Malibu dealer.
• If the component is electronic, be certain the component is operational. If it requires reception from a satellite, tower or other
supplier, Malibu cannot guarantee that it will receive the signal. It may be necessary to move the boat to another location or body
of water, or pay a subscription fee.
Accessories will not recharge in the 12-volt receptacle.
• Verify that the correct charger was used for the item(s) and that the charger plug-in was fully seated in the 12-volt receptacle.
Battery Failure
• Often, a battery that will not start the boat requires recharging. Use
ONLY
a marine-approved battery charger. Any other can
damage the electrical system, and such damage is not covered under warranty.
