    Performance Impeller?

    Hey... I am looking into getting the "Scarab 250 Impeller Single Engine 2016-Up" from Impellers.com when they offer them in June... Has anyone tried an impeller upgrade in one of these 250HP boats? Should you use steel wear rings? There don't seem to be many performance upgrade options at this...

    2019 Scarab 165ID first service/Oil Change Questions

    1. Has anyone attempted to pull the oil plug to get all of the oil out of the pan when doing an oil change? I have gone through the efforts to do this in the past with other inboard boats. If some one has done this and can describe the set backs I will face and/or some creative ways to use...

    Would you all recommend..

    Would you recommend the Scarab brand? I still feel like I'm a lot of hard yes's away from dropping $30k on one, but as for the physique, I'm not sure a Scarab could be beat, and I love their design. Would any of you recommend a different brand? I'd be using it to wake, and possibly tube. It...

    Help with codes

    Last year (November-ish) I had a starting issue after the battery went dead. I finally found the relay switch information on this forum (thank you very much!!!) and bought some and now the boat starts perfectly. I put in both relays a couple of months ago (February-ish) and the boat started...

    Does ANYONE Slip their Scarab in saltwater?

    Moving to a condo in The Virgin Islands with No storage for my boat trailer. I'm trying to come up with options to keep my boat out of the water 24/7 at the marina. Does anyone slip their scarab full time in Saltwater?

    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...

    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...

    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...
