WARNING
WARNING
anchor in a high swell or heavy weather conditions
will snub on the line. This can cause slippage or
apply excessive loads to the windlass. The line
should be made fast to a bow cleat to relieve the
load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from
the bow cleat and operating the “UP” control at the
helm. Once the anchor is retrieved, independently
secure the anchor to the roller assembly with the
safety the pin to prevent it from being accidentally
released. This is especially important while the
boat is underway.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT
WITH YOUR BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS,
HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS
AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.
A PARTIALLY LOWERED AND LOOSE ANCHOR CAN CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE HULL. DO NOT USE A
WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR
IN THE BOW ROLLER. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR TO
THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY WITH THE SAFETY PIN BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
9.2 Hull
Engine Mounting System
Your Scout is equipped with an engine mounting
system that is integrated into the hull and stringer
system and designed to equally distribute the
stresses of engine weight and thrust throughout
the entire hull.
The design of the engine mounting system re-
quires the release well hatch to be in the closed
position before tilting the engine to the full up or
trailer position. If the hatch is open when the en-
gine is tilted, the cowling will hit it as the engine
tilts, causing damage to the engine cowling and
hatch. Always make sure the release well hatch
is closed and latched before tilting the engine or
trailering the boat.
Hydraulic Jack Plate (Optional)
Your boat could be equipped with an optional hy-
draulic jack plate engine mounting system that
allows the operator to raise and lower the engine
with a switch at the helm. The engine can be
moved up for shallow water operation and moved
down for normal operation.
On some models, the hydraulic steering cylinder
and the boat transom can be damaged if the en-
gine is tilted to the full up position with the Jack
Plate set too low. Typically, the Jack Plate should
be raised to level 2.5 before tilting the engine to
the full up position.
