    Scarab wet storage area question (215 HOI Wake)

    Have your dealer replace them! They are damaged from the compressed air, corrosion, dirt etc. I am going to order some for our store and look at their design to help you further. Even though we haven't had an issue with them, I contacted warranty at Scarab for you and they said basically what...

    Scarab wet storage area question (215 HOI Wake)

    No venturi effect on those, it's like a one-way scupper valve. If there is water in the wet storage area for any reason, it should drain regardless of being in the water or out! Check the hose to see if it is kinked, if so, cut it back and re-attach. Otherwise, it is clogged!

    Scarab wet storage area question (215 HOI Wake)

    You can jam the fitting using compressed air. Next time just try using water from the spray nozzle directly into the hole to loosen any debris. If that doesn't work, they are cheap to replace and probably covered under warranty.

    2014-2015 Yamaha SVHO motor issue (severe)

    Well, I was assuming he already knew that PWC and jet boats need flushing. You are not rinsing a "heat exchanger" on a Rotax. You are rinsing out the exhaust manifold to the water box or muffler. The heat exchanger, as some people may call it, is actually the sealed ride plate under the jet...

    Proper gate adjustment for Neutral?

    Listen up Everybody (saying that nicely).....your dealer can adjust this from happening. Tell them to read the darn manual and set it accordingly! It shouldn't be just taking off. It will creep for a second at first start since the initial idle is high, but not to where you are losing control...

    2014-2015 Yamaha SVHO motor issue (severe)

    Personally I would go with the Seadoo because of the closed-loop cooling since you are in Florida---less wear and tear on the internal side of your engine. We are constantly cleaning out peoples cylinder cooling jackets here in the Fort Myers area from excessive sand, shells, debris etc. The...

    Performance mods....

    Holycow! Cedar lake Indiana was my old stomping ground as a kid and returned there to jet-ski my heart out in the 90's. Small world!

    Absolutely! I should have a 255 HO with twin 200's coming in by then. It is on order as we speak. I will answer anything you might want to know or need to know.

    Glad to help and I completely understand your situation and stance!

    Performance mods....

    Impeller is the best bang for the buck on the lesser expensive side. You already have an air filter like a K&N that works fine. From our own experience building ski's on the Rotax side, it takes a lot of money to go faster, and you also sacrifice reliability and longevity.

    It's not worth it if you're not doing anything else to the engines, IMO!

    Cylinder Drop Test

    If the engine RPM drops when clicking on a cylinder, the injector and the ignition of that cylinder are functioning normally. If it doesn't drop, then it isn't operating properly. By Clicking on the injector, you can hear it click several times showing that it's working. If you can hear the...

    Wake Shaper on 195 HOI

    It is best used with the ballasts. It isn't worth the hassle in my opinion.

    Have you ever considered bringing it elsewhere? I know we are a little bit of a cruise for you from Miramar, but I'd like to get your boat right if possible!

    Drown mode Scarab 165 HOI

    You can only do it through BUDS system set up for Scarab boats to put it into drowned mode. You will have to take it in to the dealer for that. The cost of winterizing and summer preps is pretty reasonable for the most part. You should call your dealer and see what they charge to avoid the...
