4.10 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all
connections should be made. Signs of rust, cor-
rosion, wear or other deterioration should imme-
diately be serviced. Generally, periodic lubrication
of all moving parts and connections with a light
waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as nec-
essary to keep the system operating smoothly.
Control system adjustments may become neces-
sary. If adjustments become necessary, see your
Scout dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES.
CONTROL MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL
AND SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.
Hydraulic Steering System Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage
and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of
corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, ex-
cessive wear or deterioration should be corrected
immediately.
The fluid level for the hydraulic steering should
be checked frequently and maintained at the
proper level. The steering fluid level should be
maintained at no less than 1/2” below the bottom
of the fill plug hole on the hydraulic power assist
pump reservoir located in the mechanical systems
compartment. Only use power steering fluid rec -
ommended by the steering system manufacturer
when adding fluid.
If your boat is equipped with the optional tower,
the procedure for checking the steering fluid level
and adding fluid may be different. Refer to the
steering system manual for instructions on check-
ing and filling the steering system on your boat.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts
and connections with a light waterproof grease is
in order. Check the hydraulic hoses and fittings
for chaffing, rub marks and leaks. Replace if
necessary. Failure to do so could lead to steering
system failure that would result in loss of control.
When new or after repairs, hydraulic steering
systems may need to have all air purged from
the system. Only use hydraulic steering fluid
recommended by the steering system manu-
facturer. Difficult steering and premature seal
failure can result if the wrong fluid is used in the
steering system. Review the information provided
by the steering system manufacturer for proper
specifications and details on system service and
maintenance.
Electronic Steering and Control Systems
Maintenance
Electronic steering and control systems are sup-
plied by the engine manufacturer. The systems
have maintenance requirements that are specific
to the engines and control options installed in
your boat.
You should refer to the engine and controls sys-
tems owner’s manuals for information and mainte-
nance on the control and steering system installed
in your boat. Their recommendations should be
followed exactly.
The engine controls and steering systems are
fully electronic and activated by micro proces-
sors and controlling software in each drive unit.
If adjustment becomes necessary do not attempt
to address the problem yourself. You should
contact your Scout or outboard engine dealer for
assistance.
WARNING
IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS CAN
CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. IF
YOUR CONTROLS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT CONTROL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS YOURSELF.
CONTACT YOUR SCOUT OR ENGINE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE
AND DO NOT USE THE BOAT UNTIL THE SITUATION IS
CORRECTED.
Engine Lubrication
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for mainte-
nance and lubrication instructions for the outboard
engines.
Trim Tab Maintenance
Marine growth can interfere with the proper op-
eration of the trim tab planes and actuators. To
reduce problems due to marine growth, always
return the trim tabs to the full “UP” position af -
ter operating the boat and periodically inspect
