with dimmer controls on forward bulkhead and an overhead
light in the vinyl headliner. Refer to the Ventilation Systems
chapter for more information on operation the hatches and
screens.
Quarter Berth
The aft berth is located on the port side, behind the head com-
partment. Lighting is provided by a 12-volt light activated by
dimmer switch on the light. Two port windows provide ad-
ditional light and ventilation. There is a storage cabinet below
the berth in the companionway.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed on the quarter
berth wall. If excess carbon monoxide fumes are detected, an
audible beeping will sound indicating the presence of the toxic
gas. This detector is always activated when the house batteries
are connected. A green light on the detector indicates that it
is activated. Always make sure the green light is on whenever
the cabin is occupied.
A by-product of combustion, carbon monoxide is invisible,
tasteless, odorless, and is produced by all engines and some
heating and cooking appliances. The most common sources
of CO on boats are the engines and auxiliary generators and
propane or butane stoves. These produce large amounts of CO
and should never be operated while sleeping.
You should read the owner’s manual supplied by the detector
manufacturer for operation instructions and additional informa-
tion regarding the hazards of carbon monoxide gas. Also read
more about carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide detectors, and
proper ventilation in the Ventilation System and Safety Equip-
ment chapters in this manual. This is especially essential if
your boat is equipped with the optional generator. If you did
not receive a manual for your carbon monoxide detector, please
contact the Scout Customer Service Department.

EVACUATE THE CABIN IMMEDIATELY. DO A
