Exterior Equipment
The warranty for the hardtop will be void if the
top is modified in any way or heavy accessories
like life rafts are mounted to the top. Additionally,
if items like radar antennas, spotlights and other
accessories are mounted in the wrong location,
the warranty could be voided. If you intend to add
equipment or make modifications to the hardtop,
you should contact your dealer Scout Customer
Service to make sure the equipment you would
like to add or the intended modification will not
void the warranty on the top.
Mister System (Optional)
High pressure misting nozzles could be incorpo-
rated into the hardtop frame above the helm.
When activated by a switch in the hardtop switch
panel, a dedicated booster pump supplied by the
freshwater system delivers a continuous supply of
water at high pressure to the nozzles. The system
produces an ultra fine water mist that significantly
lowers the temperature at the helm.
Refer to the mister system operation manual for
additional information and instructions for the
mister system.
Notice:
The freshwater pump must be activated to
supply the mister booster pump before ac-
tivating the mister system.
11.5 Canvas Enclosure (Optional)
Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,
windshield vent curtains, side curtains and drop
curtain are custom made to each boat at the fac-
tory. To install the curtains, slide the side curtains
into the slide tracks on the sides of the top and
attach them to the snaps on the hardtop frame,
and helm seat base. The side curtains will have
to be stretched slightly to pull out the wrinkles
and reach the snaps.
If you have an optional drop curtain, slide it into
the slide track on the back of the hardtop and
attach it to the zipper on the rear of the side cur-
tains. Snap the drop curtain to the snaps on the
helm seat base.
Notice:
Cold weather can make the clear vinyl ma-
terial on the curtains stiff and difficult to
stretch to the snaps. This can be particu-
larly difficult with new canvas that has been
stored off the boat. Laying the curtains in
the sun for 30 minutes during the heat of the
day will make installing them much easier in
cold weather.
Do not operate engines or fuel consuming heaters
with the canvas enclosures closed. The cockpit
must be open for legal ventilation and to prevent
the possible accumulation of carbon monoxide
fumes, which could be lethal.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS
COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT
WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
11.6 Aftermarket Hardtop or Tower
Scout does not recommend installing an aftermar-
ket hardtop or tower. An improperly designed or
installed fabrication can cause structural damage
to the deck and void the Scout Limited Warranty.
Additionally, Scout will not be responsible for any
damage resulting from the installation of a fab-
rication not installed at the Scout factory. If you
intend to install an aftermarket hardtop or tower
on your boat, please contact your authorized Scout
dealer or Scout Customer Service.
Notice:
Refer to the Routine Maintenance section
for more information on maintaining alumi-
num fabrications and precautions for adding
additional equipment and fasteners to the
aluminum structure.
