Exterior Equipment
11.7 Hardtop
The hardtop consists of a laminated fiberglass top
mounted to a welded, powder coated aluminum
frame that is bolted to the console windshield
frame, leaning post station and cockpit sole. It is
equipped with a switch panel, white/blue/red LED
overhead lighting for the helm and a mounting
area for a VHF radio and other electronics or ac-
cessories. Removable panels in the hardtop liner
provide access to wiring and rigging for hardtop
and upper station accessories.
The hardtop is designed to accommodate radio
antennas, radar and satellite antennas, spreader
lights and navigation lights. It can also be
equipped with optional outriggers. The navigation
lights, spreader lights, windshield wiper/washer,
hardtop lights, retractable sunshade and other ac-
cessories are controlled by switches in the hardtop
switch panel.
Hardtops, with or without the optional upper sta-
tion, are not designed to support the additional
weight of heavy items like a life raft. GPS, VHF,
and other electronics antennas must be mounted
to the top in the proper location. Special mounting
pads are provided for a radar antenna, satellite
antenna and a spot light . Do not mount any an-
tennas or additional equipment to the brow area
forward of the front legs. The hard top frame is
not designed to support the weight of additional
accessories in this area and could be damaged.
The port and starboard supports on each side of
the helm are the wire chase for lights and anten-
nas mounted to the top.
The warranty for the hard top 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 void. If you intend to add
equipment or make modifications to the hard
top, you should contact Scout Customer Service
or your dealer to make sure the equipment you
would like to add or the intended modification will
not void the warranty on the top.
Retractable Aft Sunshade (Optional)
The optional retractable awing extends to provide
shade for the rear cockpit. Electric actuators on
each side of the hardtop extend or retract the aw-
ing. The actuators are controlled by the Sunshade
switch in the hardtop switch panel.
Two momentary switches in the hardtop switch
panel control the sunshade. Press and hold the
SUNSHADE OUT switch to extend the sunshade.
