Warranty
• Damages caused by lightning, hail, rain, flooding, wind, sand, floods or other
environmental or natural conditions
• Damages caused by atmospheric fallout, chemical treatments, tree sap, salt, ocean
spray, mold, or animal droppings
• Corrosion, oxidation, electrolysis including chrome plated, anodized or aluminum
finish or colorfastness of finish (Exposure to a salt or brackish water environment can
cause corrosion, or damage. Failure to rinse thoroughly after each use and apply a
protective coating will void warranty.)
• Damages caused by aftermarket cleaning products or non-Axis approved additives
• Damages due to insufficient or improper maintenance, including use of oils, lubricants
or fluids other than those recommended in the boat's Owner's Manual
• Conditions resulting from normal wear and tear
• Conditions resulting from use of the boat for anything other than recreational purposes
• Manufacturing variations or imperfections in cosmetic, convenience or aesthetic
components or features of the boat, including the gelcoat finish, which have no effect
on use, value or safety. Because the gelcoat finish is applied manually by a Malibu
Boats craftsman, minor distortions or imperfections may be found in certain areas of
the boat. Such distortions and imperfections are considered normal.
• Damages caused by the use of any trailer not sold through Axis
• Damages caused by improper support of the boat on davits, hoist system or boat lift of
any kind
• Damages caused by overloading or overpowering the boat
• Any material, component or part of the boat that is covered by a warranty supplied by
another entity
• Damages caused by water intrusion into any part of the boat (including the glove box)
• Gelcoat finish, blistering, discoloration, fading or osmosis as well as damage due to in-
water storage without proper barrier coat and bottom paints (NOTE: Although Axis uses
the highest-grade gel coat materials, a condition may develop where the bottom of the boat
may show signs of discoloration and/or blisters if the boat is left in the water for long
periods of time; therefore, a proper barrier coat and bottom paint should be used whenever
it is anticipated that the boat will be left in the water for an extended period of time)
• Performance characteristics, such as speed, acceleration, fuel or oil consumption, etc.,
as they are estimated and can vary under numerous conditions
• Any and all consequential damages including, but not limited to, costs incurred for
haul-out, launching, towing, and storage charges, telephone, expedited shipping of
replacement parts, or rental charges of any type (including slip fees), inconveniences,
or loss of time or income
The following events will discharge Axis and Malibu Boats from their obligations under
the Axis Wake Research Limited Warranty:
• Unauthorized disconnection, tampering with, or altering of the boat's hour meter
• Unauthorized disabling of any Malibu Boat's installed warning device or system
• Unauthorized disconnection, disturbance or compromise of any wires, hoses, tubes,
cables, looms or other components of the boat's electrical or fuel systems
