2017 VLX with major glitches

Recommended Posts

We have had the boat for a little over a year with no issues. These are the issues that started last weekend:

- The first issue was the surf gate getting stuck out. After powering the boat down and back on it came back in.

- Blower will not come on. Touch screen says its on.

- Left rear hard tank pump will pump water in regardless of it being selected on the touch screen or not. It will run with only the battery being turned on and dash/ boat off. Pulled fuse to stop this.

- Boat will run long after you have pushed the button to cut it off

- Running lights are on but touch screen shows they are not on.

- Stereo will not power up.

- High pitched screeching feedback through the speaks when you put the boat in forward or reverse and will happen randomly when boat is on. As I mentioned the stereo will not come on.

- Touch screens dims when the boat is put in forward or reverse.

- Tried the factory reset a few times with no luck.

-Discussed with  the repair manager at my Malibu dealer. He had a few suggestions but no luck. He seems to think its a software issue.

I'm sure there are more issues but put it up with all the above going on. Any ideas?

I would check the batteries. Also make sure you are not charging your phone through the the usb at the drivers helm. I have had some of these issues show up when I was trying to charge my phone there. If it is not either of those I would try the new version of the software. Somewhere in the settings it list a website where you can download the software on a usb and load it on the boat.
