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

    wow. why so soon? especially if its supposed to last 200 hours the boat i'm looking at I'm sure hasnt' been done, only 80 hours, but 4 years old - that's a shitty bill every 2 years side question - does these scarab HO's super chargers need premium gas for the supercharge engine?

    SuperCharger clutch replacement ( rebuild )

    Question - speaking of the scarab 195 HO, once that baby hits 200 hours and needs the clutch replaced/rebuilt for the super charged engine -what is the approx. dealer cost for this to be completed?

    Possible lawsuit against Scarab/Glastron/RBH

    hmm....they are a certified scarab dealer, but they are also 1.5 hours from me. was hoping one of the marinas in town (4 large ones) would service it IF needed - but they don't sell scarabs

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

    Nice @ALAN MANN SR. thank you for posting those. so the carbon seal looks to not have a life expectancy, just inspect it over and over.... where the "clutch" needs to be replaced and worked on every 200 hours for super charger - anyone know what costs approx.?

    does the carbon seal/ring have to be replaced every 200 hours? and that looks like a $1,500 repair maybe its back to the sterndrives....

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

    I hope im' wrong too - I just can't see them covering a boat sink from a part that may have failed. what if I left the drain plug out on a stern drive boat - will they cover that? :)

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

    nice engine article read, by chance do you have the suggested maintenance writeup for the engine? that site doesn't have it and scarab doesn't list the engine maintenance in their manual (looking for the at 200 hours do this, or do that - I've heard superchargers need a special maintenance every...

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

    no I do not, i'm just assuming boat insurance wouldn't cover this. just like if an engine blew up, it wouldn't cover it, or if a part goes bad boat insurance doesnt' cover it (exactly like cars) - and if they don't cover failed parts, why would they cover damage from a failed part. just my thoughts

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

    will boat insurance cover the boat if it sinks? no way. cause people in the forum here, had it sink half way, 10k of water damage and no insurance pay out I think its a great deal, 85 hours, 2014 195 HO (non impulse) for 24.5k
