Your propeller is custom calibrated for your
Malibu by our Research and Design team to
give maximum performance. Before
installing props other than those suggested
by Malibu contact your dealer, otherwise
adverse handling and top speed
characteristics may be experienced.
The prop is identified by two numbers, i.e.,
13 x 14, and material identification such as
brass or stainless steel. The first number is
the diameter of the prop and the second is
the pitch. The pitch is the angle of the
blades and is measured in how far the boat will travel through the water in one
revolution. In this case, for every one revolution the boat will travel 14 inches.
Do not operate engine above the manufacturer’s
recommended RPM rating; severe damage could result,
voiding the warranty.
At least once a year, more often if you use your boat extensively, you should have your
local Malibu dealer inspect the propeller for any possible damage.
At least once a month, if you use your boat regularly, you should check and tighten the prop
nut. If it is necessary to remove the prop, use care. If the prop is not removed correctly, damage
could result if it comes off the shaft too quickly and hits the ground. Whenever possible, use a
prop pulling tool to remove prop, this will reduce the chance of damaging the prop.
Malibu Exclusive Adjustable Rudder System
Your Malibu steering is custom calibrated at the
Malibu factory at the time of manufacturing. However, it may be
necessary from time to time to adjust the steering due to normal
operations. Malibu Boats’ unique adjustment feature allows custom
calibration to your specific driving needs. The Malibu Adjustable
Rudder system allows you to increase or decrease the amount of load
that is typically on the steering system.
If it is determined that your rudder needs adjustment, you can do so
by adjusting tunable feature located on the rudder surface. Locate the
1/8" set-screws. Loosening the set-screws will release the adjustment
tab. If your boat pulls to the right, turn the tab to the right 1/8th to 1/4". Do not move
beyond this point. Only minor adjustments are needed to make a correction. Note that it
may take more than one adjustment to get the desired setting. Tighten the set-screws
when adjustment is completed.
