If you do run aground, check the boat and engine for damage. If the engine is vibrating, it may signal a damaged propeller. Signal for help by radio, ﬂ ares, ﬂ ags, and horns. Get your boat checked out by your Regal dealer after grounding out in shallow water. Boat While Planing 1-32...
Page 55 If your boat gives you problems after going through a weeds and debris, be sure to get it checked out by your Regal dealer to ensure the functionality of the engine and propellers.
Page 56 Chapter 1 Fog can sometimes lead to hazardous navigation conditions. The best way to act in fog is to immediately head for the coastline, keeping a safe distance away from swimmers, divers, and other people; and following the coastline to your destination. Navigation lights, activated by pressing the appropriate switch on the dashboard, are required to be shown in fog conditions.
Page 57 Safety On Board Mooring buoys are white with blue bands. These are the only buoys and markers it is legal to anchor to in public waters. It is illegal to attach your boat to any other buoy, beacon, or marker. Lateral markers indicate the sides of channels.
Page 58 Chapter 1 Boating Under The Inﬂ uence_____________________ WARNING FEDERAL LAWS PROHIBIT OPERATING A VESSEL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. THESE LAWS ARE VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED BY LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. Under The Inﬂ uence Warning Operating a vessel while intoxicated became a speciﬁ c federal offence effective in 1988.
Page 59 Safety On Board Alcohol will greatly increase your heat loss, so it increases the effects of hyperthermia. Finally, your ability to make correct judgements in emergency situations is greatly reduced. Alcohol takes away the brains ability to process information quickly and delays a persons reaction time. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE! Some alcohol facts to remember are: •...

Page 71: Rules Of The Road
Rules Of The Road The Navigation Rules set forth actions to be followed by boats to avoid collision. They are referred to as the “rules of the Road”. There are two main parts referred to as the inland rules and international rules. The inland rules apply to vessels operating inside the boundaries of the United States.
Page 72: Right Of Way
Chapter 2 RIGHT OF WAY Cross waves at right angles. When caught in heavy water or squalls, head either directly into the waves or at a slight angle. Reduce speed, but maintain enough power to maneuver your boat safely. Keep your speed under control. Respect the rights of other boaters engaged in all water sports.
Page 73: Signals
Rules Of The Road • A vessel engaged in ﬁ shing; these include boats ﬁ shing with lines, trawls or nets, but not trolling lines. Sailboats have the right-of-way over power boats. However, if a sailboat is using a prop to move forward, it is considered a power boat, even if sails are up.

Page 75: Vessel Interaction
Rules Of The Road VESSEL INTERACTION Navigation Rules recognize three types of crossing situations - meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. In each case, both boats are governed by special procedures. In a head on meeting, both vessels must sound a single blast and give way toward starboard, passing port to port.
Page 76 Chapter 2 Overtaking Signals When involved in a situation where crossing paths with a risk of collision, beware of the other craft’s position as well as your own. For safety, there should be a noticeable change in the angle, bow or stern; a gradual change in position indicates possible danger.
Page 77: Night Running
Rules Of The Road Crossing Signals NIGHT RUNNING Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state), or in conditions of reduced visibility, must use navigation lights. Nighttime operations, especially during bad weather and fog, can be dangerous. All rules of the road apply at night, but it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats regardless of who has the right-of-way.
Page 78 Chapter 2 To see more easily at night, avoid bright lights when possible. Also, it is helpful to have a passenger keep watch for other boats, water hazards, and navigational aids. To determine the size, speed, and direction of other vessels at night, you should use the running lights.
Page 79 Rules Of The Road NAVIGATION AIDS & MARKERS Navigation aids are placed along coasts and navigable waters as a guide for mariners in determining their position in reference to land and hidden danger. Each aid provides speciﬁ c information. Buoys provide a road map to keep the skipper on course and to avoid hazards.

Page 89: Engine Electrical System
The thermostat for instance transmits an electrical signal to the dash temperature gauge which mechanically rotates the needle in the display to represent the approximate engine temperature. Faults in these electrical components should be fully inspected by your Regal dealer. Alarms_______________________________________ When a malfunction with your engine or drive occurs, select engines will sound an alarm to alert the skipper of a problem.
Page 90: Spark Plugs
Chapter 3 WARNING AVOID OPERATION OF THE ENGINE AFTER AN ALARM HAS SOUNDED. USE OF THE ENGINE WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE OR FAILURE. Engine Thermostat Warning Distributor____________________________________ Your gasoline engine ignites the fuel by use of a spark generated at the precise moment when the fuel mixture has been fully compressed.
Page 91 Engine & Controls Alternator_____________________________________ Under normal circumstances, the starter battery would wear down after being used so often to generate a spark for the engine. This isn’t an ideal setup because a strong battery is needed for continual operation. A weak battery does no good out on the water. The alternator connected to the serpentine belt takes care of recharging the battery(ies).
Page 92: Engine Exhausting System
Chapter 3 ENGINE EXHAUSTING SYSTEM Your engine expels the by-products of the engine operation through an exhaust system, just like cars do. In boats however, this exhaust system mixes the debris left over after the power stroke of the engine with the hot water that is expelled after cooling the engine.
Page 93: Engine Fueling System
Engine & Controls ENGINE FUELING SYSTEM All engines require a source of fuel in order to run. The fuel that an engine uses, is not only comprised of gasoline (in some cases diesel), but also air. This mixture of gas and air are combined into a ratio, best suited for your engine, and therefore best suited for your boat.
Page 94: Fuel Vent
Chapter 3 You should understand the purposes of each of these components and discover their location by reading the associated owner’s manual so that you can ﬁ x a fuel system problem when the need arises out on the water. The pictures displayed in this section may not reﬂ ect you speciﬁ...
Page 95 Engine & Controls Fuel Hoses____________________________________ Fuel hoses transport gasoline from one component to another. These hoses are required to be of certain diameters in order to comply with engineering and environmental standards. Hose clamps are often used to seal the hose to a ﬁ tting, and these connections should be checked regularly.
Page 96: Fuel Tank
The fuel tank should be inspected for damage before each voyage. This should be done when you check the fuel lines for tightness and leaks. Your Regal boat uses an aluminum or polyester fuel tank that has been tested several times along with other fuel system...
Page 97: Engine Lubrication System
Engines performing on regular oil should have the oil drained and replaced every 100 hours while synthetic oil typically should be drained and replaced every 200 hours. In either case, if your Regal boat has endured one year since its last oil change, the oil should be changed again.
Page 98 Power steering ﬂ uid should be checked before every trip. It shouldn’t require changing unless contaminated with debris or water, in which case a root cause must be investigated. Contact your Regal dealer. Typical Volvo Power Steering Fluid Fill Typical Mercury Power Steering Fluid Fill Other Component Lubrication____________________ System components may also require their own lubrication schedule.
Page 99: Engine Ventilation System
Engine & Controls ENGINE VENTILATION Ventilation systems are required for all engine compartments. Your vessel features a set of four deck vents located underneath the sun pad seat, which constantly supplies fresh air to the engine compartment. A powered blower motor attached to duct work in the lower one third of the bilge evacuates air to the atmosphere.
Page 100: Stern Drive Basics
STERN DRIVE BASICS Inboard/outboard drives, or stern drives, make it easier to control your boat. Your Regal comes standard with either a Mercury or Volvo stern drive. This drive is what converts the power produced by the engine into the force required to spin a propeller. It is important...
Page 101: Stern Drive Mechanics
Engine & Controls STERN DRIVE MECHANICS The engine transmits rotational energy to the drive shaft at the engine coupler. Once engine output energy is transferred to the drive shaft, it undergoes a ratio change determined by the gear case. This converts the revolutions of your engine to applicable rotations of the propeller.
Page 102: Stern Drive Lubrication
Chapter 3 STERN DRIVE LUBRICATION The stern drive uses power trim ﬂ uid, drive oil, and propshaft lubricants to reduce wear on moving components. These ﬂ uids should be checked according to the recommended maintenance procedures determined by the stern drive manufacturer. Drive Oil______________________________________ Drive oil keeps all the mechanical components in the stern drive functioning optimally.
Page 103 Power trim ﬂ uid should be checked regularly, despite not requiring replacement unless something serious happens. Discoloration or water presence indicates a water leak in the stern drive. In that case, contact your Regal dealer. Typical Volvo Power Trim Housing (Power Trim Fill Underneath) Typical Mercury Power Trim Fill...

Page 105: Instrumentation
Engine & Controls INSTRUMENTATION The helm station is equipped with a complete set of instruments that allows you to monitor the condition of the engine. Close observation of the gauges may save the engine from damage. Gauges do however have some inaccuracy, so do not rely upon them fully. The dash ignition panel is protected by a amain 20 amp ignition breaker located next to the key switch on the panel.
Page 106 Chapter 3 Depth Gauge__________________________________ The depth gauge indicates the water depth under the keel of the boat. It features a shallow water alarm to warn the skipper of hazardous situations. By monitoring the water depth, damage to props, and underwater hardware can be avoided. This gauge is connected to a transducer on the bottom of the hull, accessible through a removable plate in the ski locker.
Page 107 Engine & Controls The gauge in the upper right location is the volt meter. It monitors the battery condition as well as the alternator performance. Normal voltage is between 12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings outside this range may indicate a charging system problem. Operation of a boat with low battery may lead to a hazardous situation.
Page 108 Chapter 3 Speedometer__________________________________ The speedometer indicates the approximate speed of travel of your boat in miles per hour and kilometers per hour by measuring water pressure against a small hole in a device mounted on the transom or stern drive. Obey all posted speed limit signs and slow down near other boaters and swimmers to a safe speed.
Page 109: Trim Gauge
Engine & Controls Trim Gauge___________________________________ The gauge measures the stern drive tilt and indicates the relative position of the bow, up or down when the boat is on plane. The power trim normally begins in the down position when used to accelerate the boat onto a plane position.
Page 110: Helm Control Overview
Chapter 3 HELM CONTROL OVERVIEW Typical Helm Overview 1) Feature Switch Panel 4) Ignition Panel 2) Accessory Switch Panel 5) Binnacle Control Lever 3) Steering Wheel It is important that the skipper fully understands all control equipment located at the helm before operating the boat. Each gauge is designed with a light bulb so it can be seen at night.
Page 111 Engine & Controls Feature Switch Panel____________________________ This switch panel controls the featured systems on your Regal boat. It features a horn switch, bilge blow switch, navigation light & anchor light switch, and a manual bilge pump switch. A red light shows activation.
Page 112: Steering Wheel
Chapter 3 Steering Wheel_________________________________ Your Regal utilizes a power steering system controlled by a steering wheel. While in forward gear, to turn your bow to starboard, rotate the steering wheel clockwise to starboard from the straight position. To turn to port while moving forward, simply rotate the steering wheel counter-clockwise.

Page 114 Binnacle Control Lever__________________________ Your vessel uses a single side-mount control lever (binnacle lever) to control the stern drive on your Regal. The three gears the binnacle can shift into are forward, reverse, and neutral. To help visualize the operating principles, we have used a clock mode.
Page 115 Engine & Controls Typical Control Lever In Neutral Position 1) Neutral Release Button 3) Control Lever 2) Trim Control Switch Typical Control Lever Showing Five Positions Pushing the throttle control lever forward from the neutral 12 o’clock position to the 11 o’clock position will engage forward gear with minimal throttle.
Page 116 Chapter 3 As you shift from neutral to forward or reverse, push the neutral release button, this allows the control lever to come out of the indented position. The control lever features a neutral safety switch which ensures the stern drive and control are in the indented neutral position for starting the engine.
Page 117 Engine & Controls Wear your safety lanyard at all times. Never shift the controls with the engine not running. Control, linkage, and/or sterndrive damage may occur. For more information, read your engine manufacturer’s manual before operating the remote control. Safety Lanyard (Interrupter Switch)_______________ The safety lanyard (used on selected control levers) sometimes called an interrupter switch is attached to the operator and the remote control panel.
Page 118: Steering System
OPERATOR Safety Lanyard STEERING SYSTEM Your Regal uses a rotary or rack style steering system. These systems transfer helm mechanical motion ot he engine. There is a hydraulic steering cylinder which with the assistance of a steering pump sends ﬂ uid force to the stern drive steering arm, changing the course of the boat, depending on the direction the steering wheel is turned.

Simply push the tabs of the grate inward towards the bilge pump, while simultaneously pulling up on the bilge pump. This locking mechanism functions much like a quick disconnect clip.
Page 124: Electrical
ELECTRICAL Your boat runs off direct current (DC), supplied by your battery. Regal boats primarily use 12 volt DC batteries located in your engine compartment. It is called direct current because the current ﬂ ows one way in the circuit. Your automobile is a typical example of 12 volt DC current.

Page 138 Chapter 5 Position the binnacle control lever in the neutral position. Connect the safety lanyard to the cut off switch, and fasten it to a belt or article of clothing such as a belt loop, and turn the switch to the run position. Turn the ignition key to the momentary start position.
Page 139 Vessel Operation Shifting the control lever forward to the 11 o’clock position engages forward gear, in which throttle can be adjusted until the 9 o’clock po- sition. Shifting the control lever backward to the 1 o’clock position engages reverse, in which the throttle can be controlled through the 3 o’clock position.
Page 140: Stern Drive Maneuvering
Large horsepower stern drive boats do produce more thrust and steering torque but Regal boats have the advantage of power steering. Boats do not handle like automobiles do. Where a car would turn about its front wheels, a boat turns about its center of gravity.
Page 141 Vessel Operation unwanted direction. It is a normal occurrence, but the effect can be managed with trim tabs on the stern drive. On your stern drive, there is a trim tab (also serves as a sacriﬁ cial anode). This trim tab in essence puts a little more drag to the starboard side of your boat.
Page 142 Chapter 5 Gathering Headway____________________________ When a stern drive is not moving forward or reverse in the water and the propeller is not turning (shift in neutral), the boat will not react to the helm steering wheel. As soon as the vessel is shifted into forward gear, the propellers action creates a discharge motion and generates energy in the form of thrust.
Page 143 Vessel Operation and the act of pushing the bow to the appropriate direction. At greater speeds, even the slightest movement at the helm will result in quick reaction by the boat. As the vessel operator gains experience, he/she will better gauge each maneuver and speed situation. There is no substitute for actual experience driving a vessel, and the skipper should always keep that in mind while keeping the safety of himself and his passengers in the highest priority.
Page 144 Chapter 5 Stopping______________________________________ Remember that your boat does not have any brakes. It uses reverse thrust from the propeller to stop. Remember that once headway is gathered, water is ﬂ owing past the drive in a set direction. Reversing this ﬂ ow to slow down will take some time. As power to the propeller is increased, the propeller thrust becomes stronger and will reverse the ﬂ...
Page 145: Trim Angle
Vessel Operation TRIM ANGLE Stern drive boats have the ability to angle in or out their stern drive unit in relationship to the transom. This is accomplished by hydraulic cylinders located on the out drive along with an electrical sender unit that reads the drive angle and relays the information to the dash trim gauge.
Page 146 STABILITY AND STEERING TORQUE CAN ALSO VARY DUE TO CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ABNORMAL BOAT INSTABILITY AND / OR HIGH STEERING TORQUE, SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED REGAL DEALER. Trim Adjustment Caution Use Of Power Trim_____________________________ The power trim is normally used prior to accelerating onto a plane, after reaching the desired RPM or boat speed and when there is a change in water or boating conditions.
Page 147 Vessel Operation To determine the proper trim angle, experiment a little until you are familiar with the changes in your boat. The vessel will be properly trimmed when the trim angle provides the best boat performance for the particular operating conditions. A trim position that provides a balanced steering load is desirable.
Page 148 Chapter 5 Operation In “Bow Down” Position_______________ The “bow down” or “in” position is normally used for acceleration onto a plane, operating at slow planning speeds, and running against a choppy wave condition. It is also used when pulling water skiers, tubers, knee boarders, etc.
Page 149: Shallow Water Operation
Vessel Operation Shallow Water Operation________________________ Operating your vessel in shallow water presents various hazards. You are more apt to hit a submerged object such as a rock, sand bar, stump, coral, or other unmarked objects. Pay close attention to your charts for descriptions of any shallow areas, along with navigational markers on the water.
Page 150: Fenders
Chapter 5 FENDERS Fender Usage__________________________________ Fenders are normally made of a rubberized plastic and are usually ﬁ lled with air. Most have a ﬁ tting like a basketball, so they can be inﬂ ated or deﬂ ated. Fenders are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to ﬁ...
Page 151: Dock Line Basics
Vessel Operation DOCK LINE BASICS Most skippers use dock line terminology fairly loose, but there is more to the basics than just bow or stern lines. There are several lines that can be secured to the bow and stern and depending on their direction and use can be called other names.
Page 152 Chapter 5 Boat Mooring__________________________________ Most boats can be secured to a dock using four lines. The bow and aft spring lines cross over each other and are secured to individual dock cleats or pilings. This ensures longer springs. Fender Typical Mooring Diagram 1) Stern Line 3) Forward Spring Line 2) Aft Spring Line...
Page 153 Vessel Operation Use the right line for your vessel, since a line too large will pull hard against the vessel rather than stretch and ease the vessel into place, and lines too small will wear and chafe under strain. Securing Lines_________________________________ When mooring your boat, make sure the dock lines are secured at both ends.
Page 154: Stern Drive Docking
Chapter 5 STERN DRIVE DOCKING Inboard/outboard powered boats are fairly easy to back up and maneuver with a little knowledge and docking practice. One of the most important aspects of the process is to keep your calm in the wake of a busy marina. Basically the reversing propeller is turned in the direction you want to go by using the helm wheel.
Page 155 Vessel Operation Center the wheel to align the boat parallel with the dock. If the stern is too far from the dock, shift to neutral, then put the wheel hard over to port and then go forward for a second or two. Docking Step Three When the boat is completely into the dock, stop stern movement by...
Page 156: Anchoring
Chapter 5 ANCHORING Selecting the correct anchor is an important decision. For most anchors to perform more efﬁ ciently, you should attach 3 to 6 feet of chain to the anchor. The chain will stand up to the abrasion of sand, rock, or mud on the bottom much better than a nylon line.
Page 157: Towing
Vessel Operation TOWING In case you ﬁ nd yourself aground or in need of a tow, or should you want to tow another vessel, keep in mind that you NEVER use deck hardware or cleats to secure lines for towing! Deck hardware is intended for mooring and anchoring, and is not designed to withstand the strain and pull of towing.
Page 158: Knots
Chapter 5 KNOTS Knots are useful in docking, towing, and other emergency situations. Learning to tie knots requires practice. As they say, “Practice makes perfect”. Some of the knots used in boating are the square, bowline, anchor bend, clove hitch, ﬁ gure eight, and half hitch. There are several periodicals available that explain various knots and how to tie them effectively, often available at marinas and boat shops.
Page 159: Environmental Awareness
Vessel Operation ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS There are numerous vessels operating on our waterways on a daily basis. Every boat has an impact on our environment. Boat operation habits, marine sanitation, and maintenance all play a role in a delicate battle to keep the ecosystem clean. Each of us has a role in doing our part as an environmentally conscious skipper to conserve our waterways.

Page 253: Trailering
You may ﬁ nd it helpful to ask someone to check your turn signals, brake lights, and towing lights while you remain in the vehicle applying them. Your Regal also features a towing electrical connection at the bow next to the navigation light.
Page 254 Securing Your Boat_____________________________ Be certain that your trailer is of rated capacity for the size and weight of your boat, including the weight of all fuel, water, and gear. Your authorized Regal dealer can advise you on the proper trailer capacity 10-2...
Page 255 Trailering and tongue weight (the weight exerted on the rear of your vehicle). Give consideration to the weight distribution of your trailer. If the rear end of your vehicle sags, chances are the load is positioned too far forward on your trailer. This can make it especially difﬁ cult to drive safely as the hitch may be in danger of striking the road.
Page 256 Standard boats operate the trim from the helm. Optional Transom Trim / Tilt Switch______________ You Regal has the option to be equipped with a transom trailer switch. If equipped, this switch is located on the transom of your boat, above the swim platform, normally on the port side.
Page 257 Trailering Securing Your Trailer___________________________ Start with the parking jack up high enough that the tongue of the trailer extends over the trailer hitch securely mounted to your vehicle. Most trailer hitches use a pin and keeper system to connect to a vehicle. Your hitch should also have a location for each of the safety chains to be mounted.
