New to me 1997 22 Scarab
It has the 454 MPI motor and I just dont know much about them. I have been searching all day and these are the questions I have still.
Should I be running premium fuel 91 octane?
How about engine oil?
It has a Bravo III 4 blade 24P is this a good prop?
What kind of idle rpm?
The motor says 4200-4800 WOT is that correct?

I run 87 octane with Sta-Bil marine formula in every tank on my 96 Scarab 26ft with the exact same setup. Was having problems with vapor lock until i moved fuel/water separator filter.

I had the same motor in my '96 22'. I ran 89 octane...no problems.
I had 3 blade Mirage 23P and 25P props. The 23 would bump the imiter at 4800. The 25 would run 46-4700.

Thanks everyone, I ran a lot of 87 through it this last week. I added some Sea Foam also and it ran great.
I have no idea on regualr maint for this boat, motor and outdrive so anyone know where to get a manual or something. I hate to keep taking it our without knowing what to do between trips.
