Propellers - Regal 2000 ES Owner's Manual

PROPELLERS

Regal has carefully tested and chosen the propellers to give your
stern drive boat the best possible performance based on the engine
and propulsion package you choose. We have allowed for the
additional weight in equipment that might be added to the boat.
It is a good idea to carry a spare set of propellers and hand tools
onboard, in order to handle emergency propeller changes. Refer to
the sterndrive manual for procedures, as the application is unique to
the manufacturer. Call a marine professional or your Regal dealer
for further information.
Propulsion Checklist
At least twice a year, check the propeller for:
•
Loose, missing, or corroded hardware.
•
Nicks, dings, or missing propeller material

Bent propeller blades.
•
Objects wrapped around the prop such as sh line.
•
Decomposing propeller blades (electrolysis symptom).
•

Contact a propeller shop or your closest Regal dealer if any of the
above symptoms exist.
refurbish both stainless steel and aluminum propellers.
