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!
