2016 Scarab Electrical Issues

[ScarabPirateGirl]

Has anyone else had issues with tower speakers not working? Dealer came out to look at it and was not able to fix and now the speaker lights and led docking lights are not working. Marine Max was our dealer and they say they are not getting any support from Scarab.

My '16 215HO's tower and swim platform speakers stopped working. I have the local "Kicker" dealer coming out next week to look at and repair. Will post the fix.

That is exactly the same problem we have. Dealer told me today that the kicker amp needs to be replaced but it is pending Scarab warranty approval. I would love to hear what kicker has to say.

I assumed the warranty on the audio system would only be one year so I contacted a Kicker dealer. I've had my boat 25 months.

Our dealer has been working with Scarab and has a new amp on order; we shall see if that fixes the problem. I will post an update after the work is done.

Got the amp that powers the tower and rear speakers replaced today - it had gone bad. Back to working properly. Wasn't inexpensive but it's fixed...

I have a 2014 195HOI I purchased last year as a new boat with zero hours, I have had issues with the stereo and horn from day one, the boat has more hours being worked on than it does on the water and still it does not work, my tower speakers have never worked the head unit was replaced and still does not work only works when i use the remote. Now I am told they had to order a wire or something. It makes no sense to me at all and I feel like Marina max has a tech on it that has no idea what he is doing. They left the wires all hanging and creaked the paint around the plate that hold the unit because it was over tightened and lost 2 screws. I was told "well theses things happen" I feel lost talking to the dealer and have no help at all.
