I think these error codes have been mentioned on some other boards. See the descriptions below... I do not think these sensors are expensive in the US (and possbily less for you).... maybe US$60-$70.

Should be covered on warranty.
Have your exhaust system inspected for leaks, as O2 sensor faults are often caused by another problem.
I heard some were leaking at the catalyst exhaust housing flanges, thus resulting in a damaged post catalyst O2 sensor.

Thank you for information.
The problem is, we have almost no support for this engines.

I check this self before i go in the garage. :)
By the last drive (2 hours) i have 3-5 liters water in the boat, thought already where that comes from, maybe from the exhaust.

Water in the bilge is different than water running inside the exhaust stream.

you mean this is water from engine colling or from exhaust cooling (by Lamda)?

Are you using your boat in salt water or fresh water?

Did you find out what the problem was and were you able to correct it? I had the same two codes just post on my 2016 Scarab 195. I have just begun taking it out for the season after 6 months of storage, but it had about 1/3 tank of last years fuel left (with stabilizer). Any ideas?

Thanks

I have only changed the o2 Sensors. Everything works normally again without errors.

Thanks Mr. Happy. Good information. I think I will fill up the tank with clean gas and run it for an hour or so. Did your Check Engine Light go off by itself or did you need to clear it?

Looking are your pictures it looks like you have water damage on the sensors. There is a new gasket that can be installed in the exhaust to prevent the new ones from having the same problem.
