Page 17: Propulsion System
Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 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 manufacturer. -
Page 18: Engine Lubrication
1.3 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: 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. -

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. - Page 25 Marine growth can interfere with the proper operation of the To discourage any marine growth on tab or actuator, antifoul- trim tab planes and actuators. To reduce problems due to ing paint can be applied. When applying paint to the actuator, make sure it is fully retracted.

Page 27: 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 28: Outboard Fuel System
Fuel Vent There is a fuel vent fitting on the starboard side of the hull. While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by the fuel escapes through the vent. When the tank is full, fuel will be ejected from the fuel vent. After fueling, replace the fill cap, and wash the areas around the fuel fill and below the fuel vent. -
Page 29: Fueling Instructions
Fueling Instructions SPILLED FUEL IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS OR IGNITE. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE DECK, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH ON FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. - Page 30 Contaminated fuel may cause serious damage to your engine. The filter must be checked for corrosion and deterioration DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE WHEN SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS COULD LEAD frequently. The filter must be changed at least once a season TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Page 31: Electrical System
Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM General Your Scout is equipped with a 12-volt DC electrical system and an optional battery charging system. The battery charger draws current from shore power outlets at dockside. The DC system draws current from two onboard batteries. Your boat and engine charging system is designed for 12-volt, lead acid wet cell marine batteries. - Page 32 Your boat has provision for two batteries. One engine crank- ing battery and one deep cycle house battery. These batter- ies should be of the size and capacity recommended by the manufacturer of your engine. See the engine owner’s manual. These specifications should be considered to be the minimum size battery required.
- Page 33 Pump Aerator/Recirc Switch 2 (Optional) Additional DC Switch Panels Trim Tab Switch The switch is a three-position switch. The middle position is Located in the helm. This switch controls the trim tab planes “OFF.” When the switch is in the RECIRC position it activates located on the transom of the boat.

Page 34: Ac System
AC System AC Battery Charger (Optional) The battery charging system is fed 120-volt AC current by a power cable connected to a shore side outlet and the shore power inlet located on the rear of the console, below the helm. It is wired totally separate from the 12-volt DC system and charges all batteries simultaneously when connected. -
Page 35: Electrical System Maintenance
The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the battery charger and external fuses, one for each battery output wire, located near each bat- tery. The external fuses protect the DC charging circuit from the batteries to the charger. - Page 36 CORROSION ALLOWED TO BUILD ON THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS CAN CAUSE A POOR CONNECTION RESULTING IN SHORTS, GROUND FAULTS OR POOR GROUND CONNECTIONS.

Page 37: Chapter 5: Fresh Water System
Chapter 5: FRESH WATER SYSTEM General The optional fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located behind a panel in the head compartment. The tank is filled through a labeled deck fill located on the port gunnel. -
Page 38: Fresh Water System Maintenance
DO NOT ALLOW THE WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE WASHDOWN SWITCH OFF WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE. -
Page 39: Raw Water System
Chapter 6: RAW WATER SYSTEM General In the raw or sea water systems, the livewell water supply pump is mounted to a seacock on a thru-hull fitting located in the stern bilge compartment and the water system pressure pump is connected to an auxiliary fitting on the pump. If your boat is equipped with the optional aft port livewell, it will be equipped with two seacocks and two livewell water supply pumps. -
Page 40: Livewell
when the washdown is not in use. Make sure the Washdown pump is activated to supply flush water to the porcelain head if your boat is equipped with this option. When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control the pump. As the pressure builds in the system, the pump will shut off. -
Page 41: Raw Water System Maintenance
• Make sure all seacocks are closed before servicing any Raw Water System Maintenance component of the raw water system. The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system: • Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply lines, for SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY. - Page 42 THIS PAGE WAS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY...
-
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: Livewells, Fishboxes, Coolers And Storage Compartment Drains
It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make sure it is tight. 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. -
