Why is the engine on my Scout Boats Boat running too hot?
- S
  sabrina99Aug 22, 2025
  If the engine of your Scout Boats boat is running too hot, there are several potential causes. The engine raw water pick up strainer might be clogged with marine growth, so you should clean the pick up. Alternatively, the engine raw water pump impeller could be worn or damaged, requiring you to repair the pump. A faulty engine thermostat may also be the culprit, in which case you should replace the thermostat.

  nhansonAug 25, 2025
  If the engine on your Scout Boats boat will not operate over 2000 RPM, it could be due to several reasons. The engine emergency system might have been activated, so you should find and correct the problem. It's also possible that the tachometer is faulty and needs replacement. Another potential issue is a throttle control that isn't responding properly, in which case you should have the throttle setting checked by a qualified technician.
