    Rotax engine substitute oil filter ?

    We have the entire BRP oil filter kit for $40.99. It includes the filter and all 3 o-rings. You can substitute that oil filter by itself using the K&N filter. It doesn't come with o-rings and is priced at about $16.

    What you guys think? Roller, bunk or posts?

    Just a tip for everyone without guides,....leave some of the trailer bunks exposed out of the water and use them as a guide. The bow can't go any farther as it will hit the bunks and align the boat to power up the rest of the way----have the wifey hook the strap and give a few cranks, and...

    Replace stuff on Scarab blog (extended version).

    We could've got you a new updated version for the entire boat for that money. Even your local dealer could have done that for you. I can offer you some tips for installing that will help your mat last as long as the boat, unless you've already installed the mat.

    Miami to Bimini June 2017

    Send me more info as to plans on this. Scarab and myself have been working on a sponsorship for this exact trip.

    190 engine compartment keeps opening while hauling

    Replace the latch. Scarab is working on this issue. It seems that it's due to repetitive motion when the engine compartment is opened and closed improperly. The proper way is to press down on stainless grab bar first, and then reach your fingers under to release the tab. What has probably...

    Excited about our new 215 HO

    Oh yes, I will be there once again! Such good memories there as a kid. Lots of crappie fishing and catfish. Oh, and snakes, lol! Thanks for reminding me since I kept thinking it was in Indiana somewhere.

    Rotax service manual- Found actual book to buy

    It will work, but you have to be able to understand it.

    Excited about our new 215 HO

    Where is Lake Shelbyville btw? I used to go there as a kid for years, but I was too young to remember now how to get there.

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    The User 9 out of 10X! Lack of flushing, running in shallow water, causes build ups in the cooling ports of the exhaust and cylinder cooling jackets. See pics from below. Those are from a Yamaha 4-stroke engine from a Yamaha Jetboat. It also happens a lot to PWC owners since they can be more...

    Proper gate adjustment for Neutral?

    Yamaha's aren't as advanced, lol, with the reverse gate. I have answered this a few pages ahead. The cable lock has to be loosened to be able to extend or shorten the cable. Then you can adjust the length you need with the brass fitting that spins on the threads of the cable that eventually...

    Scarab contact numbers

    239-777-8191 I will need your Vin number. Also, will need serial number and model number for each Motor. Those numbers are located on the top of your engine, under the beauty cover by your ignition coils. Lastly, I will need your full name and address with phone number. You can message me...

    Proper gate adjustment for Neutral?

    The cable lock is located in front of the brass bracket holder you are turning. The cable lock screws into the pump support. That cable lock holds the cable in place preventing it from moving in and out. You can give length or shorten the length of the cable coming out for added adjustment...

    Scarab contact numbers

    I can transfer it directly for you. There is a fee (not by me), Scarab. Also, the boat length is 18'10."

    Install Radio in Scarab

    The amp can be mounted on the drivers side gray carpeted wall in the engine compartment. Keep the wires high along the wall that your seats are attached to. I wouldn't run a HUGE amp for that reason. You'll be surprised how much sound can come out of that boat without going overkill. Best of...

    Install Radio in Scarab

    Here is my advice: PAY the MAN who knows how to install systems! First, the Stator can only handle so much for charging your battery, let alone run a Big Radio. In addition, if you want to run a Big Radio, run an extra battery to push that Radio. This is a safety feature or backup in case if...
