Proper care and regular maintenance can help your craft stay nice and increase resale value. Well at this point I relented and agreed, yes I was stupid, but I really had no other choice? On our way back from a family vacation 2 hours from home the check engine light came on and there was loss of power.

The engine start button was completely unresponsive and it was due to a mechanical failure with the starter that was supposedly a recall issue that was never issued by Malibu. The surf gate would not open up allowing the wave to form. There were weeks of troubleshooting measures taken. I took it to a different shop a week later to have it looked at and they were able to figure out the problem within hours. I again explained to them that it will sometimes go 3 or 4 weeks where it will not do it then it does it out of no where.
A week later, the salesman I dealt with, along with the service tech called us. This Malibu inboard ski and wakeboard has a fiberglass hull, is 21. The quality control is horrible, with dimples in my gel coat and fiberglass. However, it does have an awesome wave when it's working correctly. Putting it that way, it sounds quite darn perfect.
The problem with this fix, it isn't a fix, its a band-aid till it happens again. This device was designed and engineered by Malibu. Malibu is relatively small on the outside the house but place efficient on the within. The device is attached to the transom of the boat. Im pretty sure they did not write the 2017 manual from scratch. Going 65 down the freeway it lurched so bad I thought it was going to stall and then the check engine light came on.

This left us stranded floating towards the shoreline on a busy day on the water resulting in a near accident and a tow back 3 miles to the dock.

It was in the 2016 Manual - so it had to be overtly deleted. They had to completely overhaul the engine.

The exact same Engine starter that was a recall the prior season broke again and our boat was completely unresponsive and dead in the water.
He again had nothing to say. Our boat was fraught with problems from the very first weekend on the water. This time we were approaching the marina on a busy day which resulted in absolute chaos, endangering not only us but everyone around us. There is no shear pin or other failsafe incorporated into the design that will allow the device to release upon impact. They haven't been able to reproduce the problem yet 4 days after.
The 6-speed auto upshifts at the best time. It was the scariest thing I have ever been through in my life. Check it out by connecting a voltmeter to the rudder and prop. Get on the road and the engine powers down and the car is wobbling on the freeway and no power. Several proprietors are very likely to encourage the use of control buttons. I did manage to just get out of the way at the last second. Malibu, to their credit, kept repairing my boat until I just couldn't take it anymore, and dumped it for another brand.
