    Cleanout <is Yamaha the only brand with them?>

    The driveshaft guard is part of the engine package and is on all brp products currently. It does work pretty decent but if you get into a big mat of weeds your in trouble no matter who makes your boat.

    Operating temp on motor

    They can run to around 205 on a hot day but should always get to at least 190.

    Towing GTS187

    In your engine owners manual there are pics of all 3 engines showing where to place the hose pinchers for towing purposes. The 250 requires 2 hose pinchers. These are required if towing over 5mph

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    You are correct that you should the boat manufacturer step up and help in this situation but unfortunately that's not what happens in the industry. Yes Yamaha is both the boat manufacturer and the engine manufacturer on several lines. I personally have not delt with them on their boat lines I...

    Scarab 165g question

    The ghost is a very base model and does not have ist. This is what gives you the different modes. As far as it not stating on you that one is interesting.

    Sucked up a Rock

    Ski ropes can be quite expensive. Epically if you don't catch it and the rope pulls tight, they have a tendency to bend the shafts guard. And if that happens don't let someone tell you that you can get it off by starting the engine and shifting it into reverse. This actually happened to a...

    Sucked up a Rock

    That's really lucky. You should definitely give a little extra at church :)

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    You have to understand that in the marine industry that boat warranty and engine warranty are different. When there is a problem with the engine/drive train the boat manufactures will tell you to contact your local service center as it is now a brp problem. The problem sounds like the service...

    SuperCharger clutch replacement ( rebuild )

    Allright here's the what you should do regarding your supercharger maintenance. At 200 hrs. you need to have it rebuilt. This is at 200 hrs no matter if it takes 4-5 years to reach 200 hrs as it can in Michigan. When they used ceramic washers back in the day it was every 100 hrs. The labor...

    Who has 195 with ballast?

    It's not as nice as a high end ski boat but it puts a pretty decent wave. If you have the space and money the 215 is nicer and has a better wave.

    195 HOI RPM

    Wide open throttle on both the 200 and 250 Rotax is 8050 rpm. However this is on premium 91octane gas that is required for the supercharged engines. If running regular 87 octane gas you will only turn roughly 7800 rpm.

    2015 SCARAB 195 HOI (White Vinyl Seats Staining-Orange rusty color)

    Looks like either from a tree or bugs. Get some 303 aerospace protectant from a local marina. It works very good as a diy stain protectant. You can try placing a cloth with bleach water over the stain it can help pull it out.

    hot water in center storage

    Working on these boats I have several other areas to check. Look at the Boeing area, the bow eye and horn are common. Also look at the docking lights on the 215 and 255. On the 195 you have to look up under the bow seat. The bow eye is easy but the horn you can't see without a mirror. You...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    Contact b.r.p. this problem is on them initially as there is a nylock nut on the back side of the impeller under the impeller cover. I have had ano issue on one at work where it was never tightened at the factory. It backed off and destroyed the entire jet pump Assy. The rest of the issues are...
