Hello Scarab Boaters,
I just purchased a 1987 Scarab I (350), for lake hopping with the wife. I want to change the oil, filter and lower unit lube. The previous owner lost the manual, and I can't seem to find any of this information. Any info and recommendations would be appreciated. I don't mind spending extra money for better products. Thanks
