Seasonal Maintenance
You should refer to the generator owner’s manual
or contact your dealer for specific instructions on
winterizing your generator.
Notice:
Properly winterize the generator engine and
fuel system by following the generator manu-
facturer’s winterizing procedures located in
generator owner’s manual or contact your
Scout dealer.
Air Conditioner Raw Water Cooling System
Make sure the sea chest and raw water systems
have been winterized as previously described in
this section. Then use the following procedure to
fill the air conditioner seawater cooling system
with antifreeze.
1. Make sure the bucket and sea chest are full of
antifreeze and open the air conditioner supply
valve. Make sure all other valves on the sea
chest are closed.
2. Activate the air conditioner. The seawater
cooling pump will draw antifreeze from the sea
chest and pump it through the air conditioner
cooling system.
3. Monitor the air conditioner discharge thru-hull
fitting on the hull side and add antifreeze to the
supply bucket as necessary until antifreeze is
flowing from the fitting, then shutdown the air
conditioner and close the supply valve.
The air conditioning condensation drain system
must be properly winterized. Clean debris from
the drain and flush with fresh clean water. After
the system is clean, pour potable water antifreeze
into the drain pan until the sump pump is activated
and antifreeze has been pumped through the sys-
tem and is visible at the discharge thru-hull fitting.
The air conditioning system and head compart-
ment shower drain share the same sump system.
Make sure the sump system is filled with enough
antifreeze to activate the pump and flow from
the discharge thru-hull fitting after winterizing
each system.
Notice
The sea water cooling system and all other
air conditioner components must be prop-
erly winterized by following additional win-
terizing instructions in the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual.
SeaKeeper Raw Water Cooling System.
If your boat is equipped with an optional Sea-
Keeper stabilizer system, it will have specific
lay up and winterizing procedures. Refer to the
SeaKeeper’s manual and/or contact your Scout
dealer for recommended winterizing procedures.
Notice:
When winterizing operations are complete
on all raw water systems supplied by the sea
chest, remove the antifreeze supply hose
and bucket. Then reconnect the vent hose
to the sea chest.
Notice:
Refer to the Raw Water System chapter for
additional information on the raw water
system.
14.4 Drainage & Other Water
System Winterizing
Cabin and Cockpit Drains
Use very low pressure compressed air to blow the
water from all cabin, storage compartment and
cockpit drains. Make sure to blow out the scupper
and cockpit drain rail drains. Pour potable water
antifreeze into each drain until it flows from the
thru-hull fitting.
Dry the self-bailing cockpit troughs. Water freez-
ing in these areas could cause damage.
Cabin Drain Sump System
The shower/cabin drain sump system must be
properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain
and sump and flush for several minutes with fresh
clean water. After the system is clean, pump
the drain sump as dry as possible. Then pour a
potable water antifreeze mixture into the shower
and air conditioner drain pan until antifreeze has
been pumped through the entire system and out
of the thru-hull.
Fishbox Pump out System
Open the thru-hull valves for the fishbox pumps
and run each fishbox diaphragm pump until all
the water is removed from the fishboxes and the
pumps. Then pour potable water antifreeze in
each fishbox and activate the diaphragm pumps
until antifreeze is visible at the discharge thru-hull
fittings. To avoid damage to the pumps, be careful
not to run either pump dry for extended periods.
