Malibu Boats M220 - User Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a new high-
performance recreational tow boat! Your new Malibu
Boat has been constructed to meet and/or exceed all
U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Manufacturers
Association requirements at the time of its manufacture.
However, it is still your responsibility as the boat owner
to ensure the boat is operated in a safe manner and is
properly maintained.
Prior to operating the boat for the first time, you must
carefully read and familiarize yourself with this Owner’s
Manual and all on-product safety labels. You must also
agree to comply with federal, state, and local boating
regulations.
The manual contains important information on
boating safety, boating rules, proper operation, and
maintenance of your boat. This manual provides a
guideline for proper operation and maintenance of your
boat, and you should consider it a permanent part of
your vessel. If this boat is sold, this manual should
be included along with the boat to ensure that it will
provide the same important information to the next owner.
Malibu Boats, LLC will use updates to its website
(www.malibuboats.com) and direct mail contact to make
every reasonable effort to apprise you of information you
will need to enjoy long-term and highly satisfactory use
of your boat.
