We have a new 2019 Scarab 215 ID. Runs great except when in neutral the boat still creeps (between 1 & 2 MPH). A problem when docking. Any suggestions? Is there an adjustment to be made?

Thanks

Someone smarter than me may chime in, but my Chap 243 VR does the same thing. You might be able to adjust the bucket?? I found that if I kick it just into reverse idle it will hold position a little better than neutral.

Our boats are capable of finding a true neutral. This is all a part of the iNR system. You have a screen where you can adjust the bucket in 1mm increments. There are 31 increments (+15, 0, -15). These work great. You can almost troll with them or check out the sites super slow.
