    Scarab Trailer brakes

    I guess I got my money. Not sure you ever recover from a boat but the use counts for something. Sold it around August of 2017 and let’s just say the guy that bought it got a hell of a deal on a beautiful boat. It had about 120 hours and I just got it back from dealer service. They did complete...

    Scarab Trailer brakes

    Glad it was helpful. My scarab and trailer are long gone and I’m glad to be rid of the Scarab. Got nervous with all the chatter, then I had my own bad experience at the dealership. That sealed the deal for me. I sold it and haven’t got a new boat yet. Doing some motorcycle tours while I can...

    Missing In action

    My best to you as you navigate life’s rough sea. I recently purchased the Canyon diesel and love everything about it. Just an FYI I purchased high end BORA spacers, 1.5” and I’m super happy with look. It’s an inexpensive way to give the truck a more aggressive stance.

    GPS installed for under $500

    I usually had a cold beverage in the cup holder so no, I was sure I did not want to sacrifice the cup holder. Also I wanted it as high as I could get it so I could easily glance at it while driving. Looking down while driving adds an element of risk. As you can see I just loosened the helm...

    '16 215 HO just rolled 100hours

    Hello neighbor, small world. We are in Naples. We like Keewayden, in and around Marco and Cape Romano. A nice sunset cruise out of Gordon pass. Usually out a couple times a week. Good to hear Ron is capable.

    '16 215 HO just rolled 100hours

    My '15 215 just turned 118 hrs and the maintenance light came on for the port side motor. Taking it in for what I assume is an oil change and safety inspection ($400+yikes!). I too have speaker and windshield alignment issues. This week the center glass closes so apparently the windshield will...

    Can you easily replace the cup holders on a 165?

    I'm resolved to the fact that whatever I have for cup holders, I will have to either maintain them or replace them over time. I choose to remove mine when cleaning the boat. I broke all the two sided foam tape and cleaned them up with a scotchbrite pad. I stack them and throw them in the...

    Can you easily replace the cup holders on a 165?

    There's another thread very recently on this subject and @ScarabMike provided a link to Walmart for replacement stainless cup holders

    Joining the Carbon seal fun!

    When I first got my boat, I would pull it on the trailer with ropes then winch it up to the roller. We use a very busy ramp and I did not want to be part of the disasters we witnessed on a regular basis Now I have no problem driving it on, I just hope I'm not doing it wrong.

    Joining the Carbon seal fun!

    As usual, great information. I'm a bit concerned now regarding how I load my boat on the trailer. Normally, even during low tide there is depth enough to keep plenty of water flowing through the jets. I have always been able to back my Scarab trailer in until just the diamond plate caps on the...

    Scarab Trailer brakes

    I live about 15 min from the boat ramp and I trailer back and forth. I go out once or twice a week. I purchase a parking permit so I can leave my truck and trailer on site while we're on the water. The salt water is rough on the powdered coated steel. It's really a fresh Water trailer but I...

    Scarab Trailer brakes

    Worked out well, replaced both sides - hub/discs , bearings, caps etc and the total was $205. Something I found interesting was the spindles on this trailer have a grease fitting at the end for delivering grease to the back bearing for maintenance. I will post a photo of the fitting and one side...

    Scarab Trailer brakes

    I have the 2015 Scarab custom powder coated trailer for a 215. Mine needed some rebuilding so I thought I would pass along the info. From what I can tell by looking at mine, The trailer is assembled by Fabrique using tie Down Engineering parts. I found a place in MA called trailerpartsdepot.com...
