Even slight propeller damage can mean the loss of one MPH. Greater damage can mean considerably
more speed loss. Worse yet, damage usually is not done to each blade uniformly and, therefore, sets up
imbalance vibrations that can cause fatigue damage to other parts of the engine or drive system.
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.

Located in the bilge under the rear center access panel, is the shaft packing. The shaft packing is a seal
where the prop shaft goes through the hull of the boat. This seal should be checked and tightened
periodically. Please note that it is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur from this seal. It should
leak at about the rate of one drop every ten seconds.

The bilge of your boat can accumulate oil and greasy dirt over a period of time and should be cleaned out
periodically. Usually, ordinary soap and water does not remove the accumulation, and something stronger
will be needed. Check with your Malibu dealer for their recommendation.

Fuel lines, vent hoses, and drain hoses should be checked frequently for leaks. If this is occurring around
the fitting, then tightening of the hose clamps may be all that is necessary. However, if the leak continues,
replace the hose immediately to prevent a build-up of fluids or gases. Surface cracking on hoses indicates
wear, and replacement is recommended. Use fuel system parts certified for marine use only. Do not
substitute automotive parts.

The windows and windshields on your Malibu boat are made of tempered safety glass and are similar to the
windows in your car. The glass will scratch, however, and abrasive cleaner should not be used to clean
your windows. Soap and water or automotive glass cleaners may be used. Windshields' on Tantrums are
fitted with Lexan and are very durable but can scratch easy with most cleaners. For the best cleaner
consult your dealer.

Your Malibu boat is equipped with a standard 12-volt battery. The battery comes with a non-metallic box to
help contain spills and prevent corrosion.
