Hardtop (Optional)
The optional hard top consists of a laminated
fiberglass top mounted to a welded anodized or
powder coated aluminum frame that is bolted to
the deck. There are rod racks above the cockpit
and an electronics locker located above the helm.
The switches that activate the spreader and map
lights are located in a switch panel on the star-
board side of the electronics locker.
The top is designed to accommodate radio an-
tennas, radar antennas and navigation lights. It
could also be equipped with optional Grand Slam,
outriggers and/or rocket launcher rod holders. It
is not designed to support the additional weight
of items like a life raft. Radar and electronics an-
tennas must be mounted to the top between the
front and rear legs. Do not mount any antennas
or equipment to the brow area forward of the
front legs. The hard top frame is not designed
to support the weight of accessories in this area
and could be damaged. The starboard front leg
is the wire chase for lights and antennas 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
to make sure the equipment you would like to
add or the intended modification will not void the
warranty on the top.
Because the aluminum frames vary slightly, the
side curtains, front clear connector and drop
curtain are custom made to each boat at the fac-
tory. To install the curtains, slide the front clear
connector into the slide track at the front of the
top and snap it to the top of the windshield frame
beginning with the center snaps. The clear con-
nector will have to be stretched just enough to
pull out the wrinkles to reach the snaps on the
windshield.
Once the clear connector is completely installed,
the side curtains can be put on. Slide the side
curtains into the slide tracks on the sides of the top
and to the zippers on the front connector. Snap
Powder Coated Hardtop
the curtains to the windshield and the deck begin-
ning with the forward snaps on the windshield.
The side curtains will have to be stretched slightly
to pull out the wrinkles and reach the snaps.
If you have an optional drop curtain, slide it into
the slide track on the back of the hard top and
attach it to the rear of the side curtains. Snap the
drop curtain to the deck and cockpit.
Notice:
Cold weather can make the clear vinyl ma-
terial on the curtains stiff and difficult to
stretch to the snaps. This can be particu-
larly difficult with new canvas that has been
stored off the boat. Laying the curtains in
the sun for 30 minutes during the heat of the
day will make installing them much easier in
cold weather.
