    Consumer Wishlist - Manufacturers Take Note

    With all the talk of the new model boats being released and what people like or dislike about them, I thought, we need a thread to let the manufacturers (all or one in particular) know what we want. What do you wish your boat had, what would you change, what could improve. Maybe, just maybe the...

    2017 Scarab 195 help

    I am a new Scarab owner since this past summer and I cannot wait for the winter to be over with. I am wanting to do a few upgrades but I am not getting any help from local dealers. My first question is about the speakers. My wake tower has the silver boxes but I have no idea as to what type of...

    Tower speakers

    I purchased a 2017 Scarab 195 this year with only 4 hours on it and I love it especially now with the cobra jet steering fins installed and trailer guide on posts. My only problem is with the tower speaker attachment. Mine did not come with speakers but has the silver boxes on the sides of the...

    Scarab Fold down wake tower silver boxes

    I recently purchased a 2017 Scarab 195 with only 5 hours on it. I have already installed the Cobra Jet kit and currently I am looking at tower speakers. I did notice on the fold down tower there are these small boxes on both sides of the tower with a rubber plug in the center of both. If you...

    30hrs on 255 Open 200hp - engine drops a valve...

    During a week with a bunch of friends, going out on the new 255 Open each day, we were running about 30-35mph, I feel a sudden slow down, but water is smooth and clear I know I didn't hit anything, I see the port motor rpm's about 2500 less than starboard, I move the throttle back and forth...

    What do you think of the Scarab 195 Open Fish?

    Found a 2017 195 Open Fish for $5000 off MSRP. Total out the door in Cali would be around $40k. Does that sound okay? What about comparison with the Yamaha FSH 190? They're priced lower and I believe may be more reilable. Anyone know if Scarab dramatically uped their reliability and...

    Well, sucked a rope!

    So yeap, sucked a rope on my starboard engine....noticed very quick. Stopped the engine and went to the marina very, very slowly. So obviously the protective sleeve is a joke and in reality does more damage than help. On my previous SeaDoo boat, I was able to remove the rope from the shaft (in...

    2014 Scarab 195 HO Impulse - No Graphics?

    I purchased a 2014 Scarab 195 HO Impulse. The boat has every feature of the Impulse except for the factory graphics? Original 1-owner claims it didn't come with the graphics kit. I assumed that was a standard option for the Impulse. Does anyone else have an Impulse without graphics? Where can...

    2016 Scarab Electrical Issues

    Has anyone else had issues with tower speakers not working? Dealer came out to look at it and was not able to fix and now the speaker lights and led docking lights are not working. Marine Max was our dealer and they say they are not getting any support from Scarab.

    Buying a new Jet Boat

    Ok so I currently own a 2011 Fourwinns 210ss. We are looking to buy a jet boat. I really like both the Yamaha 212X and the Scarab Impulse (Twin 250s). I have a couple of general questions regarding these two boats. Does anyone know what kind of towing capacity they have? I like to pull multiple...

    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...

    Depth Finder problems

    The depth finder in my 255 has not worked properly since new. Erratic measurements, blank screen etc... The dealer tried a new transducer and no luck. Dont know if they changed any of the wiring though. Could it be a faulty display? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi, just purchased a 2015 Scarab 165, 150HP with 22hrs on it. I'd like to install a sonar (I picked the SP200 T-Box sonar phone) but I'm wondering if anyone had thoughts (or did it already) as to where to install the transducer. I really want to do an in hull installation as opposed to the...
