Scarab 165g question

[LagoonaK]

Hello. New guy here on this forum. I recently purchased the Scarab Ghost. I thought it had the docking mode but can't find any info on it. Does this model have docking mode? - Thanks.

Is there a "mode" switch or button anywhere? I looked at them at the boat show a while back and it didn't look like they had that option to me.

Thanks for the reply Robert. It does have a mode switch but it only toggles between display and settings. The manuals are very non specific on which features are on which model. I was just at the dealers and asked them. They dont think it has that option. My boat is brand new. I only put 3 hours on it and it died yesterday. I had to have it towed (very expensive!) I'm not very happy at this point but i'll save that story for another thread.

Ya, if it doesn't show up when you toggle through the modes I don't think you have it. I'm sorry about the boat, what happened?

I was out for about an hour, everything was fine, ran great. Shut it off for about 20 minutes to just float and chill. We were not in shallow water. Went to leave giving it a bit of throttle and it started dogging down a lot. I tried reverse to maybe clear something from jets or grate with no luck. I shut it down and then tried to start it and it would turn over but not start. I was in neutral, no fault codes were displayed. Read the manuals, no help. That went on for awhile and it was going to get dark soon so we had to call for a tow. It took a few hours. Bringing it to the dealer tomorrow.

Way too many stories about new scarabs that turn out to be lemons. I love the way they look but I'd never consider buying one.

The ghost is a very base model and does not have ist. This is what gives you the different modes. As far as it not stating on you that one is interesting.
