All Malibu Boats are equippedwith bow and all-around navigational lights.The bow light located at the tip of the bow is two colored —red and green, and is used to keep others aware of yourpresence when operating your boat at night.A covered, two-pronged connector can be found on the top of the transom on boatswithout a tower. The all-around light is plugged into this connector when needed andstored under the rear passenger seat when not in use. Boats equipped with towers have anall-around light fitted to the top of the tower.The bow light will get hot upon illumination, which can causeburns if touched. The light can stay hot for an extendedperiod of time after it has been turned off.Go Home FeatureThe “Go Home” feature will enable the navigation lights (bow and tower) to illuminatewhenever the driver uses the hard-key to start the engine instead of the touch screen.Storage AreasBow Storage AreaAccess to a large storage area located in the bow of all models is accessible by lifting thebottom-lifting strap of the observers’ seat back.
