CHAPTER 1 WEATHER & WATER CONDITIONS Before a boating outing check the weather conditions. As we all know the weather can change rapidly in many parts of the country. It does so sometimes without being predicted. NOAA weather radio reports are continuously available on designated frequencies installed on VHF radios and various handheld devices.
Page 63
Safety On Board Waves & Fog As the wind blows across water waves are created. The stronger the wind and increased distance across the water enlarges the wave action. Other factors that can cause problem situations for vessels are fog, currents, and tidal changes. Fog can develop inland on clear, calm mornings.
Page 64
CHAPTER 1 6. Secure loose gear. Make ready emergency equipment. 7. If the engine stops, throw the anchor over the bow. If needed use a sea anchor. Never anchor off the stern. Marine Weather Symbols Although the National Weather Service has discontinued the use of the day flags and night lights, many marinas and ports of call still display them.
Rules Of The Road NAVIGATION RULES DEFINED 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 and international rules. The inland rules apply to vessels operating inside the boundaries of the United States.
CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATION RULES Operation • 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. •...
Page 67
Rules Of The Road 4. In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-of-way over more agile craft. The skipper must keep his craft clear of the following vessels: • A vessel not under command or aground; due to their circumstances, these vessels have no maneuverability. •...
Page 69
Rules Of The Road NAVIGATION RULES The Navigation Rules set forth 3 types of crossing situations- crossing, meeting, and overtaking. In each case, both boats are governed by special procedures. In a head-on meeting, both vessels must sound a single blast to give way toward starboard and pass to port.
Page 70
CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATION RULES An overtaking boat is burdened, and is not the privileged craft, even though it approaches the danger zone of the overtaken boat. The overtaking boat first signals with a single blast if that boat desires to pass on the starboard side of the boat ahead, or a double blast if passing to port.
Page 71
Rules Of The Road NAVIGATION AIDS 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 specific information. They form a continuous system of charted markers for accurate piloting on paper (and helm display if equippped) and on the water.

Systems FUEL SYSTEM The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel fill fittings, fuel hoses, fuel vents, anti-siphon valve, internal tank valves, fuel filter, fuel gauge and sender. Each one of these components plays an important role in providing an uninterrupted flow of fuel while operating your boat. European Style Fuel Tank Shown 1) Fuel Sender 4) Fuel Feed Line...
Page 116
CHAPTER 4 Fuel Tank Select overseas vessels use a polyester tank. Boats manufactured for domestic use are now required to be EPA compliant and will be outfitted with an aluminum tank. This system uses parts such as a valve located inside the fuel tank and cannot be serviced.
Page 117
Systems Fuel Fill/Vent The fuel fill fitting is labeled “gas” and in addition displays the international symbol. When fueling the boat keep the fill nozzle in contact with the fuel fill pipe since it decreases static electricity. Always use the recommended fuel octane rating as specified in your engine owner’s manual.
Page 118
Never remove an anti-siphon valve as it is a fuel system safety component. Clean or replace a clogged or stuck anti-siphon valve. Contact your closest Regal dealer or certified marine technician for more information. Fuel Gauge and Sender The dash fuel gauge is only an indication of the onboard fuel supply.
Page 119
Systems Fuel Filters Outboards use a 10 micron-style water separator filter which is a spin-on type similar to an automobile oil filter. Its main purpose is to trap dirt particles and condensation in fuel. If the fuel becomes contaminated with water, the water separator filters must be replaced.
CHAPTER 4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The standard electrical system on board uses a low voltage system called direct current (DC for short). It is referred to as DC because current flows one-way in the circuit. WARNING Always use caution when operating and maintaining the 12V DC electrical system.
Page 121
Never charge a battery in the boat or directly on cement. Remove the battery from the boat first. Check the water level periodically on non-maintenance-free batteries. Add distilled water only. Contact your closest Regal dealer for further battery information and service schedules. https://www.boat-manuals.com/...

Systems STEERING SYSTEM Electronic Steering System Your boat may be equipped with an electronic steering system. The system uses a helm-mounted unit with a steering wheel that controls a cylinder mounted to the drives, outboards or rudder. Electronic or steer-by-wire systems consist of an electronic helm unit, helm-mounted display screen, aft-mounted pump control module, aft-mounted hydraulic pump/reservoir and drive/rudder-mounted hydraulic cylinder.
Vessel Operation This chapter explores the many phases of running your vessel from casting off to docking and handling emergencies. We cover the basics but suggest you read other information on the chapter topics. Also, become familiar with your engine owner’s manual since many of the items discussed here are found there in more detail.
Page 132
CHAPTER 5 Is the operator sober, alert and ready to skipper the vessel? Has weather information been gathered and analyzed? Have all passengers been fitted for life jackets and briefed on safety equipment locations? Has a float plan been filed and left with a component person? ...
Page 133
Vessel Operation Disembarking Questionnaire Have you removed the keys from the ignition and secured them? Have all systems been checked for leaks? Has the battery switch been turned to the “off ” position? Are all seacocks closed? ...
Page 134
CHAPTER 5 • Close all doors, windows, hatches and ports that could allow fuel vapors to enter the boat’s enclosed spaces. • Avoid spills and know how much fuel is already in the tank before adding fuel. Wipe up any spills immediately. •...
Page 135
Vessel Operation • If a fire occurs, do not panic, and do not remove the nozzle from the gas tank. • Evacuate all passengers from the vehicle and refueling area, and immediately alert station attendants so they can use the emergency shutoff and fire extinguisher.
CHAPTER 5 WARNING Be sure to inspect the entire fuel system for deterioration and leakage at least once a year. Failure to inspect the entire fuel system at least once a year may result in fire and explosion caused by a deteriorated and/or leaking fuel system component that could result in death and serious injury.
Page 137
Vessel Operation Set the remote control handle in the neutral position. Advance the neutral throttle position as instructed in the engine owner’s manual. Connect the safety lanyard (if equipped) to a belt or secure to clothing such as a pants belt loop. Keep passengers seated and away from controls.
CHAPTER 5 Shifting Guidelines Before shifting into reverse or forward gear positions make sure the coast is clear. When shifting to either gear from neutral make sure the throttle is in the idle position. Allow your vessel to lose all headway before shifting into reverse or forward gear.
Remember to store fenders on board so they can be easily accessed. OTT: Your Regal dealer has a large variety of fender sizes and accessories. Fender Types There is a variety of fender styles and types, each selected for specified uses.
CHAPTER 5 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 141
Vessel Operation Bow springs are secured at the vessels bow area. Forward spring lines lead forward from the boat to the dock and control movement toward the stern. After springs stem aft from the vessel, and stop movement ahead. Spring lines are used to prevent movement in a berth, ahead or astern.
Page 142
If the line is too small for the vessel, there is no margin for wear and chafe when under strain. OTT: Consult your Regal dealer for appropriate lines and chafing protection. Securing Lines When mooring your boat, make sure the dock lines are secured at both ends.
Vessel Operation If you must drop a line over a piling that already holds another boat’s line, run the eye of the line up through the first eye from below, then loop it over the pile. This will allow either line to be removed without disturbing the other.
Page 144
CHAPTER 5 It may be necessary to switch “starboard” for “port” and vice versa. In the following instance, engage both gear shifts in reverse with both throttles in idle as backing begins. As the boat begins to back, it will track in a port direction. By moving in a forward direction with the port engine the boat will be forced to turn and align with the dock.
Page 145
Vessel Operation Gathering Headway As opposed to a boat with a single propeller, when a twin powered vessel’s engines are put in gear together, the vessel will make headway without the tendency to pull to the port or starboard. Of course the throttles must be in the same rpm range as read on the tachometers.
Page 146
CHAPTER 5 Backing Down The twin powered vessel can use the throttles to slow down one or both engines as a help to steering when maintaining sternway. As an option, the skipper is able to stop one set of propellers for a higher control factor in reverse.
Vessel Operation TRIM ANGLE Your boat has the ability to angle in or out its drive unit in relationship to the transom. The purpose of the power trim/tilt is to enable the operator to change the angle of the drive while at the helm or tilting the drive unit out of the water when moored.
Page 148
CHAPTER 5 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. Position passengers and equipment in the boat so that the weight is balanced correctly fore and aft as well as side to side.
Page 149
Vessel Operation Operation In “Bow Up” Position The “Bow Up” or out position is normally used for cruising, running with a choppy wave condition, or running at full speed. Excessive “bow up” trim will cause propeller ventilation resulting in propeller slippage.
Page 150
Operating the boat with unbalanced steering could produce a dangerous steering condition that could result in minor or moderate injury. If you experience boat instability and/or high steering torque, see your Regal dealer immediately. Shallow Water Operation Operating your vessel in shallow water presents various hazards.
Page 151
Vessel Operation TRIMMED “TOO FAR IN” POSITION TRIM TRIMMED “TOO FAR OUT” POSITION TRIM WELL TRIMMED “LEVEL” POSITION TRIM WARNING On stern drive boats, do not run engines above 1000 rpm with the stern drive trimmed for shallow water maneuvering since the stern drive is out beyond the gimbal ring side support brackets.
CHAPTER 5 ANCHORING Selecting the correct anchor is an important decision. The anchor style in part depends on the usage and boat type. Regal boats designate an anchor type and or model. Some models incorporate chain, line with the windlass.
Page 153
Vessel Operation For increased holding power in windy conditions, two anchors are sometimes set. If your primary anchor drags, you can run out your secondary anchor without picking up the primary one. The important thing is to lay them out at an angle. When setting two anchors, make sure they are fastened to separate rodes or cleats.
Page 154
CHAPTER 5 TOWING DANGER Never use deck hardware including cleats for towing. Deck hardware is intended for mooring and anchoring. Deck hardware may become unattached from the boat and could result in death or serious injury and damage to the boat. In case you find 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!
Page 155
Vessel Operation In the event your vessel is in distress, prior to allowing any towing company or private agency the right to pass a line to your vessel, be sure to establish that you do not agree to any salvage rights. Establish with the captain or operator that you wish to be assisted in a contract basis and establish a price.
CHAPTER 5 EMERGENCIES Always be ready to help others on the water if possible, but do not take any unnecessary risks. Use equipment to save a life, but do not risk a life to save equipment. Consult earlier information in this manual concerning accidents, etc.
Vessel Operation FIRST AID Knowing first aid can save lives. A first aid kit and the ability to use it are important ingredients for the safety of a skippers’ passengers, crew and vessel. Having confidence and competence in handling medical emergencies on board is a must for the skipper.
CHAPTER 5 HYPOTHERMIA Hypothermia is a condition where the body temperature decreases because the body can’t generate enough heat to maintain its normal temperature. It can be serious and usually occurs where victims have been immersed in water (under 68 degrees) for extended periods of time.
Vessel Operation ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS There are numerous vessels operating on our waterways on a daily basis. Each boat has as 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.
A portion of the equipment described may not be installed on your boat or the pictorials may not exactly match your components. A portion of the Regal boat illustrations in this owner’s manual may represent typical examples.

CHAPTER 7 Galvanic/Stray Current Corrosion CORROSION TABLE Gold Least Active Stainless Steel Bronze Copper Brass Steel Aluminum Zinc Magnesium Most Active Metal parts underwater can be subjected to two basic styles of electrolysis: galvanic corrosion and stray current corrosion. Both can damage the drive, propeller, underwater parts, boat and motor if not correctly monitored (testing at 2 week intervals) and avoided.
Page 241
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance Typically electrons flow from the anode (the aluminum drive unit),via the external conducting path to the cathode (stainless steel propeller). If there is a very large anode connected to a small cathode, the anode will corrode very slowly. If a very large cathode is connected to a small anode, the anode will corrode very quickly.
Page 242
1. Test the galvanic integrity of your vessel every 2 weeks. Raise the outdrive and inspect anodes/parts for signs of galvanic corrosion, stray current corrosion or loose fasteners. Contact your closest Regal dealer/certified marine technician where signs of galvanic corrosion exist.
Page 243
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance 7. If marina moored, contact appropriate personnel if signs of galvanic corrosion appear on your drive system. Ask them to check for stray electrical current which may be originating from a nearby vessel’s faulty DC wiring or from a marina pier, piling or dock carrying leaking marina ground wiring such as a dockside cord partially submerged.
