I’ve got a 2018 Scarab 195. Having trouble with it not firing. Boat is turning over, battery is strong, but it doesn’t seem like it’s getting fuel. Anyone have any thoughts on what to try to fix this!!

I'd start with the spark plugs. Simplest to fix, and a common problem for many.

Clogged injectors could be another thing.

Ended up taking it back to the service shop. They are looking at it this weekend. I’ll let you know when I find out!

So, turns out it was a bad seal on a spark plug tube. Caused oil to get all over the plugs and the ignition coils. New plugs, new coils, problem fixed. Of course it was two months out of warranty!!
