Electrical System
Batteries and Battery Switches
The DC electrical system on your boat is designed
for wet cell, marine batteries. Do not attempt to
use gel cell, absorbed wet mat or other non wet
cell batteries. The engine charging system and
the battery charger are not designed to recharge
these batteries which could cause unusually short
battery life, engine starting problems and damage
to the DC charging systems. You also should not
mix the size or brand of the wet cell batteries.
Always consult your Scout dealer before changing
the type of batteries in your boat.
Your boat has provision for four batteries in the
battery compartment below the leaning post helm
seats. Another house battery is located in a bow
storage compartment. There is one battery for
each engine and three wired in parallel for the
house and electronics circuits. The batteries
supplied by Scout are the largest size and capac
-
ity lead acid batteries that will fit in your boat.
These specifications should be considered to be
the minimum size battery required.
There are three manual battery switches and three
remotely activated battery switches located in the
battery compartment. The remote switches are
Battery Switch Panel, Manual Battery Switches and Circuit Breakers
located behind the battery switch panel and acti-
vated by switches in cabin DC panel. The manual
switches are mounted on the battery switch panel
and activated by a removable handle on each
switch. There is a manual battery switch for each
engine and for the house and electronics circuits.
The manual battery switches are normally left
in the OFF position and used only to bypass a
remote switch in the event the remote switch
fails to activate the circuit. The handles for the
manual switches should be removed and stored
in the cabin for increased security.
NOTICE:
The manual battery switches completely
bypass the remote switches when they are
activated. The circuits cannot be turned off
using the remote battery switches on the DC
panel if the circuits have been activated by
the manual battery switches.
To operate the remote battery switches, the
knob on each manual battery switch in the bat-
tery compartment must be set to OFF. With the
manual switches in this position, each circuit can
be activated when the remote switch on the cabin
DC breaker panel is turned ON and deactivated
