Hey All,
regards to the 2014 scarab 195ho has anyone ever added a second battery 1 for starting and one for running accessories when boat is not running? As well looking to add some interior led accent lighting does anyone know where I might track down a wiring diagram for this model.

thanks in advance for any advise

I have personally never seen a wiring diagram. It probably exists, but Scarab owned material that isn't normally shared. Most simply test out where to get the +12V off of whatever switch they are using and connect to that line.

Thanks a Bunch Luc. I recently done a battery addition to a seadoo speedster using the blue sea add a battery mini plus system I wasn’t sure if there should be something I should be looking out for with the Scarab being new to the boat and all.

I added a second battery on the opposite side of of the starting one and a new dual battery switch. Wired the red to the new switch and negative to the starting battery. I also wired led cup holders and lights on the swim platform. I just hooked into the existing led lights.

Thanks Scarab 16 looks awesome!!
im new to this boat so I have a question for you, where would I locate the kicker amps on this? The stereo is powering on but no sound thinking it could be a fuse at the amps and not in the fuse box

Hey Scarab16, quick question for your led cup holders how did you wire them? Did you splice into existing wires or did you run new wiring just for the holders to the fuse box?

Yes I spliced into existing LED wires.
