    Possible lawsuit against Scarab/Glastron/RBH (discussion thread)

    Dude, we absolutely LOVE our boat too! It is just spending more time in the shop than on the water. First 4 hours locking nut came off the impeller (so the dealer told me) ; 14 hours the motor takes a crap and they replace it with a new one. New motor 14 hours the thermostat housing explodes...

    Carbon Seal Function and Explanation For Pre-mature Failures.

    Dude, I love my boat!! I always have people coming up to me and asking me about it. I was told that my boat looked like a Lamborghini on the water. But, I have to tell you, until the company gets those savvy techs back into the service shops we are hosed...

    Possible lawsuit against Scarab/Glastron/RBH (discussion thread)

    @S.peay I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with anyone on this forum. I am telling you that all of my problems have been quality control and poor technical support. I have been at the helm of many different boats over the past 25 years (to include having a Captain's license) and I...

    Flushing the engine???

    @David23170 what the comment is really addressing is running the Scarab Boat out of the water without cooling the "carbon seal." You don't want to run the boat for more than 90 seconds while flushing. There is no issue flushing after every use and if you are running in salt water you should...

    Carbon Seal Function and Explanation For Pre-mature Failures.

    @Ron@Scarab where are we supposed to take our boats now? I have been told that my MarineMax dealer no longer services Scarab Boats...

    All you have to do is back the boat into the water at the boat ramp get a flashlight (you probably won't need one) and if the carbon seal is gone you will see the water come in at the shaft... Been there done that.. Here are some pictures of a miss aligned . shaft.. [/ATTACH]

    Rotax owners keep this handy

    Ok Gents, I bought four relays back on April 16th and I just had my first "The F**king Boat won't turn over" experiences. I replaced the relay and she cranked right over. Not to mention that I broke the relay cover when working on it... Ran the boat all day yesterday and she ran like a champ!!
