    Scarab 195 ID Cleats Popped Off

    How would fix this? I have two cleats that have popped off on the left side of my scarab. The one in the front left is by the seat. I dont see any access point to be able to tighten the bolts. It looks like solid fiberglass behind the seat. The seat that lifts up by the cleat does not have an...

    Do I need a wear ring replacement?

    Hey everybody. First time poster but long time lurker. My lovely wife accidentally got a little too close to the shore after dropping me at the dock, panicked, throttled up and gave our Scarab 195 250HP impeller a healthy bite of the sandy bottom. It was like hearing a jar of marbles dumped...

    What years did Scarab make major updates to the Scarab 195 line?

    Scarab owners, what years were critical updates and major improvements made to the 195 line (particularly ID, HO etc.) ? Wondering if there is wisdom for those of us looking used. Sometimes there is cutoff (2015, 2018 etc.) that buyers won't buy earlier than based on major updates. Thanks in...

    Hello everyone, First time posting here. Anyways, I picked up a 2020 Scarab 195 ID a couple weeks ago. This last time out on the lake the stereo controls at the helm and stern quit working out of nowhere. The main control in the port console still works, but it was really nice being able to...

    Boat seems to be taking on water while anchored.

    I just punched a 2014 Scarab 195. The boat is great however I have one problem that I cannot seem to figure out. While we are anchored the bilge seems to be pumping a lot of water. I check the engine compartment every time and it seems completely dry. Where is the water coming from?

    1st time Jet boat questions.

    Backstory: So I have been out of boating a long time (Except jet ski's) Last boat was when I was a kid, A 70's Invader tri-hull with a Evinrude 85hp. Needless to say you needed to wear a snorkel when trying to ski behind it. But it was fun and brought generations of family together to go to...

    2016 Scarab 195 Limp Mode

    We recently purchase a 2016 195 in Lake Havasu. Upon purchase the boat had 9 hours on it, but was still sold as "new". We have put less than 2 hours on the boat in fresh water and it has been one thing after the next. Currently the boat is stuck in what feels like limp mode. The battery and...

    These Scarabs May Not Be Safe!

    NOTE: Just an update, the issue was not a carbon seal failure, it was a resonator box trap issue, vibrating the through-hull hose out of the hull and causing the boat to fill with water. Hi everyone, my boat has just come off the lake today with a major issue. I’ve got a 2015 Scarab 195 HO...

    Hi! We are in the process of buying a 2016 scarab 195 200hp. Wondering if that's enough power? Everyone mostly has the 195 HO 250hp models and I can't find any information. What's your input?
