Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM General Your Scout is designed to be powered with a 2-cycle or 4- cycle outboard motor. 4-cycle outboard engines do not use an oil injection system and are not equipped with remote oil tanks. They have an oil sump in the crankcase that must be kept full of the type of oil recommended by the engine manu- facturer. -
Page 18: Engine Lubrication
Engine Lubrication 2-cycle outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system. The oil tank is mounted below the cockpit floor near the transom. Always monitor the oil level before each cruise by checking the gauge or indicator lights in the helm (not available on all engine installations) or visually checking the oil level using the reference marks on the tank. -

Page 21: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems
Chapter 2: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift control, the steering system, and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station. -

When running at a speed that will result in the boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs slightly, bow down, will improve the running angle and operating efficiency. Too much bow down tabs can reduce operating efficiency and cause substantial steering and handling difficulties. -
Page 25: Chapter 3: Fuel System
Chapter 3: FUEL SYSTEM General The gasoline fuel system used in Scout boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht Council in effect at the time of manufacture. -
Page 26: Outboard Fuel System
Be sure to use the proper type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional information. Note: Do not overtighten the fuel cap. If the cap is over- tightened, the O-ring seal could be damaged al- lowing water to contaminate the fuel system. DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. -

Spray the fittings, tank fuel gauge sender and ground connections with a metal protector. - Page 28 DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE WHEN SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE.

Page 29: Chapter 4: Electrical System
Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM General Your Scout is equipped with a 12-volt DC electrical system and could be equipped with an optional battery charging sys- tem. The battery charger draws current from shore power outlets at dockside. The DC system draws current from two onboard batteries. - Page 30 battery required. Consider increasing the capacity of the bat- tery if you will be trolling, drift fishing or have extensive electronics on board. Larger batteries will give you addi- tional capacity to operate the livewell, washdown, and elec- tronics at low speed when the charging system output of the engines is minimal.

Page 35: Chapter 5: Fresh Water System
Chapter 5: FRESH WATER SYSTEM General The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, dis- tribution lines and a distribution pump. The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located behind a panel in the head compartment on the Sportfish, below the tackle station on the Abaco and behind the helm on the Dorado. -
Page 36: Fresh Water System Maintenance
When properly primed and activated, the water system will operate much like the water system in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system has been recently filled or has not been used for an extended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and the sys- tem may have to be re-primed. - Page 37 Sanitizing the Fresh Water Tank • Drain the system by pumping it dry and flush with several The freshwater system should be sanitized if it has not been tank fills of freshwater. used for a long period or you are unsure of the quality of the water in the system.

Page 39: Chapter 6: Raw Water System
Chapter 6: RAW WATER SYSTEM General In the raw or sea water systems, the livewell water pump is mounted to a sea cock on the thru-hull fitting located in the stern bilge compartment and the water system pressure pump is connected to an auxiliary fitting on the pump. Always make sure the ball valve is open before attempting to operate any component of the raw water system. -
Page 40: Livewell
The water system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump. The strainer should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary. Whenever the boat is left unattended, the washdown switch should be placed in the “OFF” position. The Washdown Hose and Selector Valve The washdown hose is located in the cockpit. -

Page 43: Chapter 7: Drainage Systems
Chapter 7: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS General All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru-hull fittings located in the hull above the water line. It is important to check the drain system frequently to insure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and not leaking. -
Page 44: Fishbox, Cooler And Storage Compartment Drains
A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEA WATER TO ENTER THE BILGE AND COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY TO INSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED. Important: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thor- oughly removed and properly disposed of before operating the bilge pump. - Page 45 • Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by removing the pump from the base and raising the float switch until the pump is activated. You can also use a garden hose to flood the bilge until the water level is high enough to activate the pump.

STOP THE ENGINE IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. - Page 54 Stern Cooler and Livewell The stern cooler is located in the stern on the starboard side of the cockpit. The hatch is held closed by an automatic fric- tion latch. The cooler is insulated and drained by gravity to a thru-hull fitting in the hull side.
