Hey guys - I'm a new owner of a Scarab 195, first time jet boat owner. It's still in its break in period (just hit 8 hrs) and the engine light is on. Is it related to the break in period?
 
Welcome aboard Bob Bailey. I can't help you but
ScarabMike will answer your question in...three...two...one...
 
@Bob Bailey Welcome to the forum! @buckbuck is correct that @ScarabMike is our Scarab resident expert and will probably chime in when he docks his boat. I have had my boat for over a year now. The first scheduled service light you should get is the 25 hour service notification. If you have a light on at 8 hours mean something else is going on. Is the boat at 100% power? (should be running @ 8000ish rpms) and are there any performance issues?
 
Thanks @Slugger55. The boat's not yet at full power, runs at 7,000 RPMs or so. We've been very careful not to overwork the engine as recommended. No other performance issues we've noticed. Think we should discontinue use of it?
 
Is the light on continuous? Are you getting a loud audible beep? Did you check all of your fluid levels?
 
Yes, the light is on continuously - no audible beep. Fluids are in good shape. Really appreciate your help.
 
@Bob Bailey Welcome to the site!!

Can you give us more info on the light?

1. What is displayed? a check engine, a yellow wrench, or something else.
2. Is it displayed on the right of the dash, or on the left?
3. At start-up, or after the boat warms up?
 
Thanks @ScarabMike - appreciate you connecting with me. This site is a great resource for sure. To answer your questions:
1. At ignition, the words "check engine" scroll across the screen. Then the orange engine light comes on.
2. Displayed on the right hand side.
3. It is at start up and while driving.

Just came on for the first time yesterday after about the initial 8 hours of use. My initial thought was that it was related to the break in period. We've gone easy on it as recommended, fluid levels are ok.

Appreciate any insight you have as my dealer is 100 miles from here. Thanks very much.
 
Ok. Do this. See if you can display the code. It could just be a simple code that just needs to be reset.

  1. With safety lanyard on its post, and the engine in start mode (but engine off) press 5 times the SET button to start the display of P-codes (onboard diagnostic).
  2. Press MODE to scroll codes if more than one is present. When "list" is over, END will appear.
  3. When END appears, press MODE to exit.
 
@Bob Bailey I see you don't have a location listed. Where are you located?

Thank you. I tried this series of steps a few times and I do not get any P Codes displayed.
 
Not far from where my brother lives, Fredonia, NY.
 
@Bob Bailey Ok good!

Place the key in start mode. Let the gauge sweep finish, then press Select + Mode together for 6 seconds and release. That should clear it.

Thanks Mike. I pressed SET+MODE together for 6 seconds (I don't have a SELECT button), didn't clear it when I started the engine.
 
Let me try this on my boat in a few. Ill see if I can get into diagnostic. Mode. I may have the sequence wrong.

Hey Mike - I just realized my profile says I have an Impulse, and I don't. I have a 2014 195 model. Sorry if that caused an issue for you. I appreciate your help.
 
@ScarabMike - took it out for a spin and the engine light is now off. must be the sequencing worked. thank you so much for your help today. have a great evening. bob
 
@Bob Bailey

No problem, looks like we need to jot this one down. It must have been a misfire or something like that. The ECU might still be learning. Let us know if it happens again.
