    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.

    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?

    Scarab Break-In Maintenance

    What happens when a Scarab hits the 25 hour mark? Do you have any reduction in performance once the service engine light comes on? I am trying to determine if i have to take the boat in for the service exactly when it hits that mark or if i can keep using it until the dealer is able to perform...
