    Matching accessory switches and headlights

    Hi Craigz, I have the 2014 195 HOI, for that model I found the switch are built by Carling Technologies (http://www.carlingtech.com/toggle-switches-lt-series) If you have Scarab, take a look at this file http://www.carlingtech.com/sites/default/files/documents/LT-Series_Details_%26_COS.pdf...

    2014 scarab 195 HO check engine light error code p2097

    Hi Piero, I had a similar problem with only few hours in the engine, took 2 attempts from the dealer to delete the codes without replacing the O2 sensors expecting the problem disappears by itself. 3rd attempt, O2 sensors replaced, no issues afterwards. Took between 2-3 weeks to get the...

    Scarab Advice Please

    @Slugger55 Unfortunately true, there is no real commitment from the service side to the brand. I have also found there is no communication between builder and my dealer either which make the other problems in the service side worst. I am glad BRP supported their part of the business and of...

    Scarab Advice Please

    2014 195 HOI, 107 hours so far and working to put some more hours this year. I love it... design, space, features... everything... would like more than 250HP yes, but does not kill me and it's not the best for rough waters but most of the people wouldn't be as adventurer to use it that much...

    Voltmeter Addition

    I have a 195 HOI and I love it, but one of the small few things that I miss is a voltmeter. Despite the fact that we all look for the safest conditions when we have our family on the water and that took me to add the 2nd battery (Thanks @ScarabMike for the guidance), I also carry with me a...

    False/wrong readings in the depth finder?

    I just wanted to share what I found so I hope that helps you if that issue come across. While doing the oil, filter and spark plugs change, I decided to spend some minutes looking for the location of the depth finder and possible source of issues. I was able to find a circular white spot on...

    Scarab 195 Starter Solenoid Part#

    Sorry for the delay replying, in my case the boat didn't start, just did a click sound, in my case (195) coming from the port side behind the battery where the fuse box and the solenoid is. I never had problems like yours, it has been only matter of the boat not being in neutral or forgetting...

    Any experience with Trim Tabs on Scarab 195?

    Since our boats don't have a flat transom, it's very difficult to fit the tabs. I have shared pictures and measurements with: Nauticus, LectroTab, Volvo (for the interceptors), Bennett, Lenco and Lewis Marine and unfortunately they didn't find a way to fit them despite all their efforts. I am...

    First service/Oil change questions

    I got the same fault code P2245 between 40 and 50 hrs without affecting the boat performance... they cleared the code a couple times and they came back again until they replaced the O2 Sensors (under warranty)

    I'm in hot water!!

    I usually don't have any water after removing the plugs at the ramp in my way out, the only time it gets water in there is after washing the engine bay. Have you checked the o-rings in the plugs or the exhaust hoses as @JetTech72 mentioned?

    Scarab 195 Starter Solenoid Part#

    Hi Everyone, In case you need it, the Starter Solenoid Part# is: 278003012 for the Scarab 195. I have a 195 HOI but it may be the same across all 195 models, at least it's also used by many Sea-Doos. I had it changed twice in the first year :rage: when the boat had warranty, hope don't...

    Toggle switch replacement

    Thank you! @PanamaJet, I have not, but looks promising. I understand it can be replaceable using something similar, I just wanted to make sure the functionality was the same and keeping some harmony between all switches, avoiding to create a frankenstein version of it :)

    Any experience with Trim Tabs on Scarab 195?

    I have been experience some porpoising in calm waters, usually fix it by lowering the speed or by turning a little, but I am wondering if the trim tabs would help. I know these boats get on plan really fast, so there is much improvement to do on that matter, but I am more interested on...

    Toggle switch replacement

    The toggle switch to move between modes, displays options, etc. broke and felt off and need to fix it or replace it. I am not sure if I found all the parts to try to glue them or simply need to fully replace it. I haven’t found it online to avoid buying it with the markup from MarineMax. I...

    False/wrong readings in the depth finder?

    Has anyone experienced an issue where you are in 6ft of water but your depth finder is reading 65ft? Mine worked like a charm for a year and suddenly started displaying like depths about 10 times of the real ones. Only works well one of every 5 outings. This is the standard depth finder that...
