Already lots of good advice, but I'll throw a couple cents in.  I have an '18 LSV and upgraded to this winch and I highly recommend it; the low gear is rarely needed, but sometime you have a shallow ramp and being able to crank it up is awesome: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Winch/Fulton/F142418.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf3iiuKD_qlHSpaycDrylQB8xApVv5FcLGRczix0_BT00wJbZvV2eQgaAlmQEALw_wcB

At a ramp with a reasonable slope, I put the most forward bow bunks about 1" under the water, hand walk the boat up till it catches and then crank the rest.  Most of the time the stern isn't floating, but in the rare case that it is it's landed in the right spot every time (I've come out and double checked 50 times at least, but am always happy to see it locked in correctly).  I may be in the minority, but power loading these is a bad idea and unnecessary... no handling at slow speed and they crank up no problem once you get rid of that undersized factory winch.

Good luck, you'll figure out the quirks and be rock solid in no time.  10 years with a Malibu but no marital strife at the dock in at least the past 8 

Edit: One other piece of advice that I haven't seen here yet... if you have a steep ramp and the a** end is going to be floating regardless of what you do, you can cut a piece of wood (wrap it in felt) the right distance from the hull to the guide post and someone can use it to hold the boat in the right spot as you pull out.

i set mine to #3, nit sure exactly where on the Garmin it lives, but 3 seems good. The only trouble I have with this is you cannot adjust any of the volumes while the boat is underway, it just keeps skipping back to display the main screen on the head unit. You have to go to neutral on the throttle to adjust individual zone volumes. Master volume seems OK, but needs to be in neutral for individual zones.

Ya I ended up liking #3 as well. I just missed it bc I figured the adjustment was in the wet sounds system and not the garmin unit. 
 

im not sure I care/need to adjust individual zones while driving — I’m sure that’s a safety issue. I cancelled zone 5 as I don’t have a second set of tower speakers and adjust the rest as desired (tower speakers loudest so surfer can hear music) and that seems good to go for 99% of my use 

The bottom of the lower windshield frame has threaded studs with nuts on the underside of the deck.  There are also screws at each lower windshield frame corner going into the deck from the top, and there are support posts screwed to the windshield near the bow walk-through.  Loosening the nuts and removing the screws will make it possible to adjust the windshield position. 

There was service bulletin MY17.SB04.AUG09 for all 2016 Malibu 20/23/25 LSV boats which required inspection of the metal U-bar that supports the bow walk-through deck area.  Some had to be shimmed and tightened to prevent windshield movement over time.  Check with your dealer to see if it was performed or for more information about it.

TMC, I’ve figured it out.  So main 80 amp fuse that feeds 12v distribution block for 3 amps was blown.  I never checked it cause amps had power.  Well, for some reason there was a factory 12v wire to one amp and it was on the same amp terminal as its main power wire.  So that was fed from the ignition circuit and was also feeding power to all amps.  This seemed very strange so I removed that 12v wire and replaced the fuse and all is good there now!! I’m disappointed the dealer service tech didn’t check the blown fuse though when it was in originally.  

You can just stack a few small washers till the rivit head clears the lens. Stud on the rivit will still break at the back side.
