    Need to know how to replace drive carbon seal - 2014 Scarab 215HO

    So, I did that thing that should never be done - I ran over a tow rope - sucked it in. Yup - shut it off - opened the engine bay - and saw the water coming in. We got the boat out of the water with the bilge pumping like mad. Seemed like the bilge did its job. When I took the jet pump off, I...

    Can the ECM's be swapped port for starboard in the Scarabs with twins?

    Starboard engine seems to have some crazy things happening - cylinder 2 misfire. Did some things a cleared that, but now cylinder 1 misfires - which had NO problems while I was chasing cylinder 2 - its like the problem shuffled down the line. The Port engine has been flag free and purring like a...

    2014 Scarab215HO rough idle fixed - I think

    Update - I checked out the one cylinder that was misfiring again - pulled the fuel injector and ran it through a clean cycle, again. After which, I thought it was a little leaky. Put it back in for a trial run - came up as misfire again. I went to a shop that deals with Rotax motors for land...

    2014 Scarab215HO rough idle fixed - I think

    Swapped plugs, swapped coils, the problem follows the cylinder - I even swapped the fuel injectors. The issue stays with that one cylinder. What worries me - the spark comes directly from the ECM. Wiring diagram shows the coils going right to the ECM. Gonna try swapping the ECM's tomorrow. If it...

    2014 Scarab215HO rough idle fixed - I think

    2014 Scarab 215HO - Engines were not running well when I attempted the Spring opening. Changed the plugs, oil and filter, flush and fill of the antifreeze. Cranked up the engines - very rough. CanDoo Pro scanner showed multiple misfires on both engines. Pulled the plugs again and activated them...

    Rotax owners keep this handy

    Same issues here. All the dealerships I had used in Ct are not dealing with Scarab any more - probably since they couldn't get parts. I'm ordering stuff myself now since I can't find a dealership to work on my boat, not even the folks who sold it to me brand new.

    2014 scarab 215 HO Throws check engine light P2246

    Just an update on O2 sensors - I replaced mine using a 22mm offset box wrench. Gotta stuff the connector through the wrench, but it is very doable.

    Where to find a Scarab Dealer in Connecticut

    Thank you. Where I am in Ct, towing the boat to New York (if I need a dealer) might be shorter distance. I will keep them in mind for parts, or if I can ship the superchargers to them for overhaul come the end of the year. it just sucks to bug a boat from a local, and then end up with no...

    Where to find a Scarab Dealer in Connecticut

    Thank you for the suggestion, I found Bryce Marine in New Jersey. They were very helpful. Pricing and shipping was pretty much what I expected. Will see if the parts arrive as promised. They seemed pleasant enough to work with over the phone.

    Possible Scarab/BRP Rotax Reflash/ECU upgrade

    Thank Thank you. I think I fall back on some old words of wisdom - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    2014 Scarab 215HO O2 Sensors

    Looking for replacement parts - O2 sensor came up bad on the CanDoo Pro scanner. Attached is a photo of the sensor removed - BRP PN 0460374. Contacted a dealer in another state (since Ct doesn't seem to have any more dealers) and they had BRP PN 0461576 as a replacement. I did find an O2 sensor...

    Where to find a Scarab Dealer in Connecticut

    Bought my 2014 Scarab215HO from a Ct Dealer in early 2015. That dealer does not do anything with Scarab boats anymore I found another dealer in 2017 at the top of the state - Now - they no longer do anything with Scarabs I started using a shop that didn't carry Scarabs, but have all sorts of...

    Is it possible to unlock SKI, ECO, cruise control and docking modes on Scarab?

    If someone figures it out, I'd be interested. I have a CanDoo Pro scanner interface box. Not sure if it can be upgraded through there.

    Possible Scarab/BRP Rotax Reflash/ECU upgrade

    Just saw this thread - wow - Question; is it known if squeezing an extra 50hp out of the motor cuts the life of any of the parts? Would the supercharger need to be overhauled at say 150hrs instead of 200? Can I re-flash my ECU using the CanDoo Pro?

    New Genuine BRP Maintenance Free Supercharger

    My 2014 scarab has twin rotax 250's - so I would need 2 of these, correct? What's the cost of rebuilding? about $450? I only put about 50 hrs/yr on mine. I'll hit the 200 hr mark near the end of this year. Guess I should get shopping now.

    Directing jet stream downward

    Hmmm, thanks. There is an adjustment that can be made to the length of the gate control cable to make it go down further. Will probably only need a turn or two. The lock plate would have to be adjusted probably. I might be able to make this work. Thanks.

    Directing jet stream downward

    I thought that too - but then the bolts don’t go in straight. And those are some pretty close tolerance holes. I’ll thought of making a full ring shim with holes that are perpendicular with the jet pump face, but the bolt holes on the gate brackets would still be off by the same angle. The jet...
