Malibu Boats West, Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser that each new Malibu
Boat will, under normal authorized use, be free of defects in material and workmanship
for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser.
This warranty does not apply to the following:
1. Engines, transmissions, drive trains, stereo equipment, and other equipment or
accessories which are separately warranted by the manufacturer thereof and
installed by Malibu Boats. To the extent that these parts are warranted, Malibu
Boats will, if possible, furnish the manufacturer’s warranty documents to the
original owner.
2. Damage or effects of such damage caused by the installation of engines,
accessories, or other equipment installed by anyone other than Malibu Boats.
3. Boats that have been sold or transferred by the original owner outside of the five

overloaded.
4. Damage or malfunction of a boat resulting from improper maintenance, misuse,
or negligent care.
5. Windshield breakage, upholstery colorfastness or mildew damage, paints, plated
finishes, gelcoat discoloration or osmosis, and finish distortions.
Note: Water can be a very harsh chemical (depending on the alkali, chemical, or iron
condition present) and even though we use the best gelcoat available, blisters
may still occur on submerged hull surfaces. If your boat is left in the water for
more than 2-3 weeks, we suggest you apply good bottom paint to protect the
hull from osmosis and blisters. You may also remove your boat from the water
and allow to thoroughly dry every 1-2 weeks to help prevent this condition.
Gelcoat blisters and osmosis are not covered under your Malibu Warranty.
6. Boats used for racing or any type of commercial use or service.
7. Any and all consequential damages including but not limited to costs or charges
derived from haul-out, launching, towing, storage charges telephone or rental
