nozzle(s) in the straight ahead position. There should
be an equal number of turns to port and starboard
from the straight ahead position. If adjustment be-
comes neces sary, see your Scarab dealer.
Check all metal parts at the cable output end for cor-
rosion. Remove any old grease from the cable ram
and motor swivel connections using a mild solvent
such as WD-40. Spray the cleaned areas with a
moisture-displacing lubri cant and apply a light coat of
good quality marine grease. Do this with the ram fully
extend ed.

3. Winter Storage

If the boat is placed in winter storage or used infre-
quently, clean the cable ram as instructed earlier.
Cycle the steering several times when applying
lubricant. If at any time the steering system becomes
stiff, has an excessive amount of free play or shows
any change in its operating characteristics, contact
your Scarab dealer to have the system inspected.

PROPULSION SYSTEM

A. Engine(s)
DO NOT attempt to service any engine with out
being totally familiar with the safe and proper
service proce dures. Do not attempt to maintain
or adjust an engine while it is running. Certain
moving parts are exposed and failing to shut off
the engine can result in serious injury or death.
Scarab does not manufacture engines. Because of
the technical nature of the engines, all manu fac turers
of these items require that warranty and service
problems be taken directly to an autho rized dealer for
resolution. The Scarab dealer from whom you pur-
chased your boat will handle all warranty and service
matters with the engine manufacturer for you.
In compliance with the Federal Boat Safety Act of
1971, all engine manufacturers require their prod ucts
to be registered. A registra tion card is fur nished with
each new engine. When selling a Scarab boat, the
dealer, along with the pur chaser, should complete the
information request ed on these cards and return them
Boat Systems - Section B
to the respec tive engine manufacturers. Engine
registration cards are provided with the engine and will
usually be found with the owner's information packet.
Each manufacturer of the various marine power
components provides an owners information manual
with their product. This publication is included with this
manual. It is important that you read the manual(s)
carefully and become com pletely familiar with proper
care and operation of the engine. Be sure to read the
section on winterization. Replacement costs associ-
ated with frozen engine components are quite sub-
stan tial.
NOTICE
Consult the engine owners manual for all
information regarding the engine to include type
of fuel, oil and coolant to be used.
NOTICE
Starting the engine or riding the boat in shallow-
er water may damage the impeller or other jet
pump components.
NOTICE
Never use propulsion system as a supporting
point to board the boat.
Also review the other sections in this manual, espe-
cially Fuel System and Control Sys tem.
B. Engine Exhaust
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be
hazardous. It is important for you and your pas-
sengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by exhaust fumes. Familiarize yourself with
the symptoms of individuals over come by carbon
monoxide, and most importantly, ways you can
protect yourself and your guests.
