Minor Repairs - Regal 2000 ES Owner's Manual

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Most minor scratches, nicks, and dents can be removed by com-
pounding the surface. Marine type compounds can be found at most
auto body supply stores. Specify a number 25 which is a coarser
compound up to a number 55 being less coarse. Various glazes and
polishes are available as needed. Ask your marine professional or
Regal dealer for more information. Fiberglass hulls are strong but they
can be damaged. A berglass hull has virtually no internal stresses.
us when a part is broken or punctured, the rest of the hull retains
its original shape. A severe blow will either be absorbed or result in
a de nite localized break. A break of this nature should be checked
and repaired by a marine professional or a Regal dealer.
