  • Page 19: Boating Safety

    At Malibu, safety is not an option! General Precautions Your Malibu boat has been constructed to meet all U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Manufacturers Association (N.M.M.A.) requirements. However, it is still your responsibility as the boat owner to ensure the boat is always operated in a safe fashion.
  • Page 20 “dragging” behind a moving boat can be fatal. Any dangerous activities which can result in a serious injury or death a water sport is not considered as a watersport by Malibu or DOES NOT promote unsafe boating risks or jeopardizing any boaters safety.

  • Page 21: Regulations

    In a few jurisdictions, the Coast Guard retains registration authority. Your Malibu dealer will either supply registration forms or tell you where they may be obtained. The agency will supply you with a certificate which must be carried with you when the boat is in operation.
  • Page 22 Foreign Species If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly introduce a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next. Thoroughly clean the bottom of the boat, below the water line, remove all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge and livewells before launching the boat in a new body of water.
  • Page 23 Cleaning Agents Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products. Citrus based cleaners are excellent for marine cleaning purposes and are safe for you and the environment.

  • Page 24: Emergencies

    Notice: If a type V PFD is to be counted toward the minimum carriage requirements, it must be worn 2) Fire Extinguishers: A fire extinguisher is required if your boat has an inboard engine, or when fuel is stored in closed stowage compartments. Approved fire extinguishers are classified by a letter symbol, either B-I or B-II with the B designating that the material will extinguish...

  • Page 25: Hazardous Conditions

    Reporting Boat operators are required by law to file a Boating Accident report with their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if there is a loss or probable loss of life, personal injury requiring medical attention, damage exceeding $500, or there is a complete loss of the boat.
  • Page 26 Damage to underwater gear caused by shallow water maneuvering is not covered by your warranty. Warning Markers Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are used as the signposts of the waterways identifying navigable routes and water hazards.

  • Page 27: Carbon Monoxide

    Carbon Monoxide Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas produced by all engines and fuel burning appliances. Even with the best boat design and construction, plus the utmost care in inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous levels of CO may still be present in accommodation spaces under certain conditions.

  • Page 28: Operation By Minors

    1-10 Operation By Minors If your boat will be operated by a minor, remember to have an adult present at all times. Many states have laws regarding minimum age and licensing requirements for minors. Contact state and local authorities for special requirements that may apply in your area. Passenger Safety Any time you take your boat out, make sure that there is at least one other passenger aboard who is familiar with the operation of your boat.
  • Page 29 1-11 Types of Bouys There are several types and shapes of buoys. Buoys may be unlighted, lighted, with sound or may have both an audible and a visual signal. Lights, bells and horns are used on buoys for night or poor visibility conditions. Different shapes of buoys are shown below.
  • Page 30 1-12 Right-Of-Way Notice: In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-of-way over more agile craft. You must stay clear of the vessel with right-of-way and pass to his stern. Privileged Boats Privileged boats have right-of-way and can hold course and speed. Sailboats and boats paddled or rowed have the right-of-way over motor boats.
  • Page 31 1-13 Overtaking The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the burdened boat and must make any adjustments necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged boat. Figure 1-10. Overtaking Another Craft The General Prudential Rule The general prudential rule regarding right-of-way is that if a collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has right-of-way.

  • Page 59: Operation

    Chapter 3 PERATION Everyone benefits from the safety of others. Trailering The trailering information contained in this section describes general guidelines and procedures used by many boaters. We recommend, in addition, that you always follow the specific information provided by the manufacturer of your trailer. Load Carrying Capacity The certification label attached by the manufacturer on the left forward side of the trailer will show the maximum load carrying capacity of the trailer.
  • Page 60 Safety Chains Safety chains on your boat trailer provide added insurance that it will not become completely detached from the towing vehicle when underway. Crisscross the chains under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the road if the trailer separates from the hitch ball.
  • Page 61 Backing the Trailer Backing the boat trailer may sometimes be a difficult task. It is recommended that you practice backing the trailer in a vacant lot or open area before attempting it at a congested boat launch. Follow these basic rules when backing: 1) Turn the front vehicle wheels in the opposite direction in which the trailer is to travel.

  • Page 62: Warning Labels

    Warning Labels Warning labels are displayed at various locations throughout your new Malibu to point out safety hazards. It is important that you take the time to locate these labels. Do not remove or cover warning labels. Replace when illegible.
  • Page 63 Warning Label Locations Refer to the diagrams below for the location of each label.
  • Page 64 Load Capacity The U.S. Coast Guard requires that boats under 20 ft have a certification plate stating the number of persons and maximum weight a boat will handle safely under normal conditions. The certification is attached near the helm forward of the throttle. Overloading is a violation.

  • Page 65: Fueling

    Fueling It is very important to take special precautions to avoid spillage while fueling your boat. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air and will develop in the lower cavities of the boat, such as the bilge. Do not allow the fuel tank to empty completely during operation.

  • Page 66: Starting

    Notice: The PIT fuel system is not to be serviced by anyone other than a Malibu Factory Trained and Certified Technician. Special tools and training are required to service this fuel system. Pay close attention to the information regarding the break-in period listed in your engine owner’s manual.
  • Page 67 Starting the Engine Malibu boats are equipped with sensors that constantly monitor various functions of the boat. Certain functions, if outside of pre-determined operating parameters, may activate an alarm located under the dash. When the ignition key is turned ON, the alarm will sound to indicate it is operating.

  • Page 68: Shifting/Running

    3-10 Shifting/Running The throttle lever is located to the right of the driver. When the throttle is vertical, it is in the “NEUTRAL” position. Located at the base of the throttle you will find the shift lock. Pulling outward on this button disengages the transmission, thereby allowing for use of the throttle without engaging the transmission.
  • Page 69 3-11 Figure 3-8. Turning With A Rudder The steering system must be in good operating condition for safe boat operation. Frequent inspection, lubrication, and adjustment by your dealer is recommended. All boats have a tendency to wander somewhat at slow speeds. A natural reaction to this effect is to steer the boat back and forth in an attempt to compensate for wandering.

  • Page 70: Stopping

    3-12 Maneuvering Techniques Steering response depends on three factors: engine position, motion and throttle. Like an automobile, high speed maneuvering is relatively easy and takes little practice to learn. Slow speed maneuvering, on the other hand, is far more difficult and requires time and practice to master.

  • Page 71: Docking

    3-13 Docking Docking procedures for the new boat owner usually bring surprising results. Remember, operate your boat at slow speeds to avoid accidents and practice docking to gain experience and confidence. Once away from the dock, practice docking in open water with an imaginary dock. Pull up to the dock at a slow rate of speed.

  • Page 72: High Speed Operation

    3-14 Before tying up the boat, be sure to use enough fenders to protect the boat from damage. If possible, tie up with the bow toward the waves with a good-quality, double-braided nylon line. Tie up only to the lifting or tie-down eyes; never use the handrails or windshield frames.
