S.O.S. SAVE OUR SEAS

Scout Boats has made a commitment to quality since the

very beginning. More importantly we’ve also made a

commitment to saving our natural resources. Our boating

and fishing waters are beautiful but often abused and

neglected. With care, we can turn the tide in favor of

preserving our shining seas for generations to come. At

Scout, we’re doing our part by using earth-friendly

manufacturing techniques and materials, and by choosing

suppliers who observe strict environmental controls in

making their products. It means more expense and time on

our part, but we think it’s worth it. You can do your part by

being sensitive to our environment. Our marshes are the filter

systems of the world. As responsible boaters we must

manage our natural resources so our children can enjoy

them.

Introduction

Welcome Aboard! This manual has been produced with the recreational

boater in mind, as a guide to safe operating practices, general boating reg-

ulations and proper maintenance techniques. Included with this manual

may be manufacturer literature for the engine, trailer and other major com-

ponents. To ensure each boating experience is a safe and enjoyable one,

please read all the materials carefully before operating your newly pur-

chased craft.

If this is your first time owning or operating this style of boat, it is recom-

mended you contact your dealer or local boating agency to find out how to

enroll in a boater safety course prior to taking to the water.

Please keep this manual onboard for future reference and pass it along to

the new owner if you ever decide to sell the craft.

Because of our policy of continuous product improvement, the illustrations

used in this manual may not be the same as on your boat and are intend-

ed only as representative reference views.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Safeguard information about your boat by recording the Hull Identification

Number (HIN) and model of your boat, and model and serial numbers of

the engine(s), trailer, and accessories on the inside front cover of this man-

ual. The HIN is located on the upper, starboard corner of the transom. The

HIN must be clearly visible and may not be removed, altered or tampered

with in any way as regulated by federal law.

The identification numbers are important! Keep a copy of these numbers

stored in a safe place off the boat. In case of theft, damage, etc., report

these numbers to the local authorities, your insurance agent and your

dealer.

BOATING REGULATIONS

The U.S. Coast Guard is the authority of the waterways; they are there to

help the boating public. State boating regulations are enforced by local

authorities. You are subject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the Road” for

both federal and state waterways; you must stop if signaled to do so by

enforcement officers, and permit to be boarded if asked.

There are many pamphlets, prepared by the Coast Guard, available to you.

These pamphlets explain “Rules of the Road”, signal lights, buoys, safety,

international and inland regulations and much more than is presented in this

manual. For more information contact your local U.S. Coast Guard Unit or

call the Coast Guard Customer Infoline at 1-800-368-5647.

BOAT SAFETY LABELS

Your boat is affixed with various safety labels at the time of manufacture.

These labels appear at specific locations on the craft where safety is of

particular concern. Safety labels must remain legible. If you suspect a label

is missing or one becomes damaged, contact your dealer for immediate

replacement.

BOATER RESPONSIBILITIES

Registration

The U.S. Coast Guard requires that all power boats operated on the

navigable waters of the United States must be registered in the state of

main use; also, many States require registration in that state whenever

boating on waters within their state boundary. Always contact your state

boating authorities (and neighboring states) for registration information on

boats and trailers. Your dealer can supply you with the appropriate forms.

Education

This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of

boat operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this boat seek

additional training on boat handling and safety. Some states require youths

16 years of age and younger to complete a boating safety course before

operating any watercraft. Many others require operators under the age of 18

to be licensed in small boat operation.

The following is a listing of some of the agencies and organizations that offer

Water Safety, First Aid, and CPR. To find boating safety courses in your

area, call your state’s local boating agency or the Coast Guard boating

safety Courseline at 1-800-336-2628 (1-800-245-2628 in Virginia), United

States Coast Guard Auxiliary, www.cgaux.org and United States Power

Squadrons, 1-888-FOR-USPS, www. usps.org.

Boating Safety

Insurance

You must get insurance before operating your new boat. Loss by fire, theft

or other causes, or liability protection against accidents is a must for

responsible boaters. The boat owner is legally responsible for any damage

or injury caused when he, or someone else operating the boat, is involved in

an accident. Many states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs.

Your insurance agent or your dealer may be able to supply you with more

information.

REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Your boat has been equipped at the factory with most federally required

Class 1 [4.8 m (16 ft.) to less than 7.9 m (26 ft.)] safety equipment for inland

waters.

NOTICE

Many state equipment requirements go beyond Coast Guard

requirements. Contact your state boating office for further

information.

Equipment requirements for coastal and inland waters differ.

Check with local authorities or the Coast Guard for further

information about coastal water requirements.

Personal Floatation Devices

Federal law also requires at least one Type I, II, III or V Personal Floatation

Device (PFD) for each person on board or being towed, and at least one

Type IV throwable PFD in the boat. As the owner, it is your responsibility

to obtain PFDs and other mandatory safety equipment not provided by

the boat manufacturer, and to ensure all equipment is kept in good,

serviceable condition.

PFDs are intended to help save lives. Therefore, you and your passengers

should wear a PFD whenever boating. It is especially important that children

and non-swimmers wear a PFD at all times. Make certain all passengers

know how to put on and properly adjust their PFDs. Also, selecting the

proper type PFD for your kind of outing helps ensure your time on the water

can be the safest possible. There are four types of PFDs to wear and one

type used for throwing in emergency situations.

Scout Boats Section 1.qxd:Scout Boats Section 1.qxd 5/11/07 5:35 AM Page 3

Scout Boats

1-4

Chapter 1

Type I: Most buoyant PFD and effective on all

waters, especially open, rough water.

Type II: Good for calm water near shore on most

inland waters where quick rescue is likely.

Type III: Good for most inland water applications

where quick rescue is likely. Come in

various styles and some are designed for

watersport activities.

Type IV: Intended for heavy traffic inland waters

where help is always available. Designed to

be thrown to a person in the water and

should never be worn.

Type V: Inflatable design for special use activities

and may be used instead of a Type I, II, or

III PFD if used in accordance with the

approval conditions on the label and

if worn

when the boat is underway

. Some Type V

PFDs provide increased protection against

hypothermia.

NOTICE

●If a Type V PFD is to be counted toward

the minimum carriage requirements, it

must be worn.

●Special PFDs are available for skiing

and other watersports. These PFDs are

constructed with materials suitable for

high impact falls.

Keep the following PFD points in mind:

●Set an example and wear your PFD. Require

your passengers to wear them also.

●Make sure the PFD fits properly; this is

especially important for children and non-

swimmers.

●At the beginning of each season, check PFDs for

damage and test for proper flotation.
