  • Page 19: Propulsion System

    Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM General Your Scout is designed to be powered with 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors. 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 manufacturer.

  • Page 20: Engine Lubrication

    Engine Lubrication 2-cycle outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system. The oil tanks are 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: Engine Instrumentation

    The tachometer may not register zero with the key in the “OFF” position. Note: Most Scout boats are equipped with Yamaha engines and multifunction instruments. A brief Yamaha tachometers also contain the engine trim meter, oil description of those instruments and their function level indicator and the overheat warning indicator.

Most speedometers measure the water pressure against a mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical engine small hole in a pickup tube located in the engine lower unit or systems.

  • Page 23: Helm Control Systems

    Chapter 2: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, 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.

  • Page 25: Steering System

    Steering System The steering system is hydraulic and made of three main com- ponents: the helm assembly, hydraulic hoses and a hydraulic steering cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm, or steering wheel, pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the motors to turn.

  • Page 26: Control Systems Maintenance

    When running at high speeds be sure that the tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough trim plane action should be used to compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared to slow down if difficulties arise.
