true neutral? boat at the dock

[Stang7tl]

being the scarabs have the INR system do you any of you all that have them actually keep the boat running while at the dock tide up? I don't mean for a long time but for example unloading boat from trailer and moving boat to a spot then tie up and go park.

I don't have iNR on my little 165, but yes, I do this all the time. My boat has a very small amount of forward creep as most do. It does put a little bit of strain on the ropes/cleats, but it's pretty minimal. I've done it hundreds of times with no issues. Just make sure the boat is tied up properly and that you're not in a foot of water so you don't suck up debris.

I have the iNR system and yes I'll dial it in to keep the boat still while I tie it to the cleats and get the trailer backed in. Then untie, put in "gear" and drive it onto the trailer. Easy-peasy...

Yep. I do use true neutral and it works great. The only thing is that you have to make sure the wheel/jet is perfectly straight otherwise it will try to spin in place. Not much of a problem with the boat tied, but I wouldn't walk away from it if it wasn't.

anyone have instructions on activating true neutral for a scarab 195 without a touch screen. does the boat have to be running? it's in the mode buttons I believe. anything would be helpful, new owner here. thanks!

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the post linked below has instructions for adjusting neutral with the mode buttons. I believe that the boat must be in neutral at idle. The last couple of pages of the linked information center users guide discuss adjusting neutral.
