Warning Labels
Warning labels are displayed at various locations throughout your new Malibu to point
out safety hazards. It is important that you take the time to locate these labels. Do not
remove or cover warning labels. Replace when illegible.
Load Capacity
The U.S. Coast Guard requires that boats under 20 feet have a certification plate stating
the number of persons and maximum weight a boat will handle safely under normal
conditions. The certification is attached near the helm forward of the throttle.
Overloading is a violation, do not carry more weight or passengers than indicated on the
plate. The presence of the plate does not relieve the owner/operator from responsibility
for using common sense and sound judgment.
Never exceed the load capacity and distribute weight evenly
between bow and stern, and port to starboard.
SWAMPING HAZARD
Overloading may reduce the stability and seaworthiness of
the boat.
• The weight of all persons and gear including ballast bags, water bladders ballast
tanks and fat sacks should never exceed the U.S. Coast Guard Maximum Weight
Capacity listed on the capacity label.
• When determining the total weight on board, calculate the weight of water at nine
pounds per gallon. Be sure to add the weight of the water to the weight of the
persons and gear.
