General Information

Serial Number
Each engine is assigned a unique serial number that is different
from the Hull Identification Number (HIN) found on the transom of the
boat. The engine serial number can be found in several locations on
the engine.
It is extremely rare that an engine requires replacement in a boat;
however, if this occurs, the replacement engine's serial number must
be reported to Malibu's warranty department, even if the warranty
statement effective dates have expired. In the event of a safety
matter or recall, serial numbers often alert the factory to which boats
may be affected and allow the company to contact consumers.
Engine serial numbers that do not match factory records may
lead to questions of legality also.
