Make sure the set-screws are tightened after each
adjustment. Failure to tighten the set-screws could cause
erratic steering and serious damage could result. If you are
unsure of the correct procedure to conduct this adjustment,
it is recommended that you return your boat to your local
Malibu Boat dealership for assistance.
Corrosion Protection
Galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), is the break-up of metals do to the effects of electrolytic
action. When two dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive fluid such as salt water,
an electric current is produced, similar to that of a battery. As the current flows, it takes
with it tiny bits of the softer metal. If not stopped, a great deal of damage can occur.
If you operate your boat in salt or brackish waters, you should have your boat equipped
with a transom mounted zinc anode to prevent damage to the parts coming in contact
with the water. The zinc anode being the softer metal will deteriorate and erode much
faster than the other metals in the boat. Inspect the anode periodically and replace as
needed. Consult your local Malibu dealer for this part.
Salt Water Corrosion
The entire boat should be rinsed with fresh water immediately after use in salt water. If
the boat is used primarily in salt water, wash the hull monthly and apply corrosion
inhibitor to all hardware. See your dealer for products suitable for the marine salt-water
environment. Fresh water internal flushing is recommended when used in salt, polluted or
brackish waters. Flush the entire cooling system with fresh water for at least five minutes
after use in these waters. See your Malibu dealer for appropriate flushing devices.
Notice:
Salt water is commonly very harsh on all components of boat.
Salt water corrosion is not covered under your Malibu Boat or
Indmar warranties. It is the boat owner’s responsibility to
understand and ensure they have taken proper precautions to
safeguard boat.
