Sometimes the manuals aren’t all that great because they reference oil like penzoil “marine” which they don’t sell anymore under that label.  I have been going with chevron delos oil because some super smart dude on TMC verified that it has the necessary marine additives/stabilizers that the motors require.  In all honesty, even more important than the specific brand/label of oil you go with, is the frequency of which you change it.  Change it at least every 40-60 hours or at the end of the season every year and you will do yourself a lot of favors!

It is there, but my sea trial did not prove it working. I have no reason to believe it does not...  It's not particularly important to my use, so I didn't test it, but I expected will work based on the conditions of the boat in general.

It's located forward of the radio panel and to the right of the dashboard.

 

I thought initially that the radio face panel was missing, but in reviewing my pictures I found that it was actually in the chart compartment, so that, too I expect will also work so it was not tested. (It came complete with several cds, including a Jimmy buffett, which is appropriate for boating!. )

 

Oh, I see it.  It's PerfectPass Cruise.  Nice.

That boat with a little elbow grease and a welder for the trailer could be a real gem.

Coop - Many of the floor plan agreements have buy-back clauses in them just for this reason. So I do know that Malibu does in some cases buy them back. With this being more of a local bank situation, who knows if this one had that in there. 

per MBUU's 8K filing with the SEC there is a repurchase agreement in place between Malibu and M&T Bank for $5.2M in boats M&T floored w/ Tommy's. 

If your buddy is comfortable with a carb basic adjustments are easy.  Should be an idle speed screw on the linkage you can easily bump up rpms a bit.

Been doing some more research and looks like the Axis 2024 charger is redesigned with a flush charge pad backer. This looks like it would fix the silly air gap that exists in the 2022/2023 design with a bigger phone. Asking dealer to get this retrofited

 

Parts are on the website.....but no details.

The "cradle" in my 2023 is crap, just a piece of plastic that doesn't fit any modern phone, would love to replace with what should have been there to start with.
