    Oil Filter Removal

    Thanks for your help Rick. I was able to replace the small o ring. The top red o ring is visible when I look at the tighten down filter and housing I should have looked before I removed it for the first time! If anyone out there can look at their filter housing and advise if they see the top...

    Oil Filter Removal

    Just removed the oil filter on my 2015 (165) with the 150 HP Rotax. The cap is attached to a rod with a metal sleeve and a bolt at the bottom which does not allow me to get the cap off to replace the small dime sized o ring. Is this normal? Also when I tighten the new cap down with the new...

    Throttle Plastic Cover Plate

    The throttle plastic cover plate that moves with the throttle on my 165 is very noisy and squeeks like crazy. Tried lubricating it with silicone spray and took off cover plate and loosened it a little with no luck. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

    Oil and Filter Service on my 2015 165 (Rotax 150 HP)

    I had the oil, filter, and plugs changed with 15 hours because my dealer is 150 miles away and I was going to be in the area last summer. They reset the maintenance light to come on at 65 hours and I only have 30 hours as of today and will not have 65 hours until late next year. My question is...

    New 165 with 10 hours!

    My dealer in North Carolina (150 miles away) stated $250.00 to change oil, filter, and plugs at appx 25 hours. How do you remove the oil and change the filter on the 165? Do you need some type of pump to extract the oil?

    New 165 with 10 hours!

    Thanks all. I spoke with the dealer and we are bringing it in around the 25 hour mark. They said they can reset the maintenance light even if it has not come on if it has less than 25 hours.

    165 Bimini Top

    It is the standard optional top for $500.00. Works good for the helm and the 2 adjacent seats.

    New 165 with 10 hours!

    I looked at all the posts regarding the 10 hour maintenance check and would like some help. My new 165 has 10 hours today so do I need to take it back to the dealer fro the oil and filter change? Or do I wait until 25 hours which is my preference since my dealer is 150 miles away. Thanks all.

    Warranty & Service

    Has anyone used Foothills Motorsports or any of the Greenville SC facility's for their 10 or 25 hour service? Any recommendations for service on their Scarab in this area? Thanks all.

    165 Bimini Top

    Does anyone have a picture of what the factory option Bimini Top look like on the base 165? I looked thru ScarabMike's info but did not see one. It is the $500 option for the 165. Also my new scarab 165 should be arriving this week or next and cannot wait to try it out! Thanks all.
