CAUTION
• Check the tires once each season. Add enough
air for the correct amount of inflation for the
tires.
Notice:
Read the owner’s manual for the trailer
for the correct amount of inflation for the
tires.
When storing the boat on a lift or cradle:
• The cradle must be specifically for boat
storage.
• Make sure the cradle or lift is well supported
with the bow high enough to provide proper
drainage of the bilge.
• Make sure the engines are in the down
position.
• The cradle or lift must be in the proper fore
and aft position to properly support the hull.
When the cradle or lift is in the correct location,
the bunks should match the bottom of hull and
should not be putting pressure on the lifting
strakes.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS, LIFTS, AND
CRADLES THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE
ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE
LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT
FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER
CRADLE OR TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
SCOUT WARRANTY.
Preparing The Boat For Storage:
• Remove the bilge drain plug, if installed.
• Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior,
especially the antifouling portion of the
bottom. Remove as much marine growth as
possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass
components.
• Remove all oxidation from the exterior
hardware, and apply a light film of moisture
displacing lubricant, wax or a metal protector.
• Remove propellers and grease the propeller
shafts using light waterproof grease.
• Remove the batteries and store in a cool
place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure
the batteries have sufficient water and clean
terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe
from freezing throughout the storage period.
Notice:
Refer to the Electrical System chapter, for
information on the maintenance of the AC
and DC electrical systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical
components in the cabin and cockpit with a
protecting oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the
fishbox, sinks and baitwells.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat.
Vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes and
upholstery.
• Remove cushions and open as many locker
doors as possible. Leaving as many of these
areas open as possible will improve the boat’s
ventilation during the storage period.
Notice:
It is recommended that a mildew preventer
be hung in the head compartment or cabin
before it is closed for storage.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good
vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the
weather covers and boat upholstery with a
spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as the
shower basin, storage locker areas, etc. should
also be sprayed with this disinfectant.
14.2 Winterizing
Freshwater System
The entire freshwater system must be completely
drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves, etc.
and blow all the water from the system. Make
sure the freshwater tank is completely drained.
Use only very low air pressure when doing this to
prevent possible system damage. Because of the
check valve mechanism built in the pump, blow-
ing the lines will not remove the water from the
freshwater pump. Remove the outlet hose on the
pump. Turn the pump on and allow it to pump out
any remaining water....about a cupful.
