Is it better to replace my OEM Malibu screen or upgrade to the Wakeswitches tablet?
Since the tablet controls all features and functions the same way as the original screen, it comes down to whether you're excited about having a larger HD screen with the capability to install modern apps.
However, if you're a creature of habit we can fix your screen so that it will last for years to come. We have the best refurbishing parts and process available.

Troubleshooting
My Malibu is acting up — can you help diagnose the issue?
My Malibu is acting up — can you help diagnose the issue?
We can try! While developing the tablet on our 2013 Wakesetter, we learned a few things about these boats. Plus we have lots of dealer & mechanic contacts and we're active on many Malibu forums.
What should I do if the touch controls are unresponsive?
What should I do if the touch controls are unresponsive?
Clean the touch panels and restart the device. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Why is my power wedge going down but not up?
Why is my power wedge going down but not up?
Malibu has a programmed safety lockout to prevent injury caused by the upward moving wedge. The boat must be moving forward at above 3 mph to move the wedge up. However, when fully stowing your wedge, your speed should be under 10 mph to avoid blowing a fuse due to moving the wedge under high speed & drag resistance.
