I have a new to me 2017 Scarab HO with an engine serial number of #09955530. It has 27 hours on it at this point (yes, I feel I got lucky finding it). It was manufactured in July of 2017. I am trying to determine if it is a maintenance free supercharger or not. I am not sure exactly where the "cap collar nut" listed above is located. I was hoping the serial number would help, but I cannot find a site to look that up. And if it is "maintenance free", is that truly maintenance free? Call me a skeptic, but I don't know of anything that could be considered maintenance free when it is spinning at 50,000 RPM to push air.

If it was manufactured after 07/16 you should be good.

Look and see if the engine has a vin plate/date of manufacture.....or if your boat was manufactured a couple of months later you should be ok as well.....

News they are maintenance-free now is different than saying they will never fail......its just that they don’t have a required rebuild.....so they should last longer based on this change

Look on top of the valve cover & you should be able to find an engine code like 440000xx if the engine code last 2 letters are AF or higher (AF, AG, AH ...) then you do have a maintenance free supercharger.
