• Damages or needed adjustments caused by items that are added, altered or changed

after the boat leaves the possession of Malibu Boats, such as installation of
aftermarket towers, tower accessories, ballast systems, barefoot booms, canvas
accessories, and bottom painting

• Damages caused by accident (including impacts and collisions with any object),

abuse, misuse, neglect, mishandling or alteration, including any damages caused by or
during trailering or towing

• Damages caused by heat, fire, explosion or freezing (including the failure to perform

proper winterization)

• Damages caused by the installation of non-Malibu Boat materials, components or parts
• Damages caused by lightning, hail, rain, flooding, wind, sand, floods or other

environmental or natural conditions

• Damages caused by atmospheric fallout, chemical treatments, tree sap, salt, ocean

spray, mold, or animal droppings

• Corrosion, oxidation, electrolysis including chrome plated, anodized or aluminum

finish or colorfastness of finish (Exposure to a salt or brackish water environment can
cause corrosion, or damage. Failure to rinse thoroughly after each use and apply a
protective coating will void warranty.)

• Damages caused by aftermarket cleaning products or non-Malibu approved additives
• Damages due to insufficient or improper maintenance, including use of oils, lubricants

or fluids other than those recommended in the boat’s Owner’s Manual

•  Conditions resulting from normal wear and tear
•  Conditions resulting from use of the boat for anything other than recreational purposes
•  Manufacturing variations or imperfections in cosmetic, convenience or aesthetic

components or features of the boat, including the gelcoat finish, which have no effect
on use, value or safety. Because the gelcoat finish is applied manually by a Malibu
Boats craftsman, minor distortions or imperfections may be found in certain areas of
the boat. Such distortions and imperfections are considered normal.

• Damages caused by the use of any trailer not sold through Malibu Boats
• Damages caused by improper support of the boat on davits, hoist system or boat lift of

any kind

• Damages caused by overloading or overpowering the boat
• Any material, component or part of the boat that is covered by a warranty supplied by

another entity

• Damages caused by water intrusion into any part of the boat (including the glove box)
• Gelcoat finish, blistering, discoloration, fading or osmosis as well as damage due to

in-water storage without proper barrier coat and bottom paints (NOTE: Although
Malibu Boats uses the highest-grade gel coat materials, a condition may develop
where the bottom of the boat may show signs of discoloration and/or blisters if the
boat is left in the water for long periods of time; therefore, a proper barrier coat and
bottom paint should be used whenever it is anticipated that the boat will be left in the
water for an extended period of time)

• Performance characteristics, such as speed, acceleration, fuel or oil consumption, etc.,

as they are estimated and can vary under numerous conditions
