    HOW TO TAKE DOWN TOWER IN 195 HO IMPULSE

    Welcome to the forum. It helps if you have someone lift up on the front of the tower. Those locking screws can be stubborn..

    Disappointed in power but not broken in -195

    You only have 60% power until you reach 7-8 hours. Like everyone else has said, when you get 100% power you will reach 42-45 mph. 45 if you use 93 octane fuel.

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    I was able to get a short run in yesterday before the monsoon hit:eek:. I think we got about 3 inches of rain in two hours.

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    I probably would have fixed that way, but still under warranty. Thanks for the tip..

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    Ok! Update. Attached are pictures of the coolant pump housing that circulates the closed cooling system. There is a cap that snaps into place over the thermostat and the locking grommets failed blowing the housing off and blowing the thermostat out. This was already mounted to the engine when...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    Apparently the thermostat housing utilizes some sort of clip mechanism that holds it in place and the part failed. Pictures to follow..

    About the water in ski locker

    @DJMattyT if you store your boat outside with the covers it came with it is probably rain water. And you are right about the water from your hose...

    About the water in ski locker

    If it is the Carbon Seal you only need to back the boat into the water and leave it on the trailer . You will see the leak..

    Would you buy a used 2014 215 impulse

    Here are a couple of photos that represent a BRP Tech who didn't know what he was doing.. The first picture is my drive shaft after 24 hours and the second is my Carbon Ring same hours.

    About the water in ski locker

    @ScarabMike is correct. Mike Stafani is trying to save face for Rec Boat Holdings. I have talked to this idiot on the phone many times and I simply get the brush off. My "water in the locker issue" was a carbon seal going bad because some other idiot who called himself a BRP Tech didn't...

    Would you buy a used 2014 215 impulse

    And, don't only get the details about the boat, but get the details about the service department and the Techs who will be servicing your boat. One guy who does a bad job at servicing your boat can cause a lot of damage and leave you boat less for months... See the top post in the Scarab...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    I talked to Mike Stefani at Scarab Warranty; but he wasn't the dude who got things going. I haven't finished with him yet. Tom, the Service Tech, at MarineMax Pensacola is the guy who got things rolling. He was proactive and he forwarded the picture that I posted at the beginning of this...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    Ok! Boat has been delivered to MM Pensacola (after watching a teenager flip a car in the middle of I10 and rolling the car multiple times. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it happen). Tom said that the parts were coming in today. I told him that I had a concern about the engine being...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    I just talked to Tom, MM Pensacola, and he said that he was being proactive and sent his contact at BRP the picture at the beginning of this post... They have already sent all possible parts that they (MM Pensacola) are going to need for the repair. I expressed to Tom that I have some concerns...

    Another Disappointment with the Scarab Jet Boat and REC Boat Holdings

    Just got a call from MarineMax Pensacola (voicemail). Tom said that BRP has been on the phone with them and that they were going through every possible part they may need for the boat. Tom went onto say that Mike Stefani called him and asked if there was anything that he could do. I am now a...
