    Safety On Board Safety awareness can’t be over emphasized. Safety on board needs to be the skippers number one priority. In this manual you will find many safety precautions and symbols to identify safety related items. Heed all safety precaution information. Remember, the skipper is responsible for the safety of his passengers and crew.
  • Page 25 Precautionary Labels Read and understand all safety labels affixed to your Regal boat. Most of the safety labels are found close to the helm, aft cockpit and or swim platform. The location of the labels may vary by model. The label list does not cover everything! Use common sense to analyze the result of an action on board your vessel.

  • Page 26: General Boating Safety

    Safety On Board GENERAL BOATING SAFETY We understand that you are eager to get your Regal boat on the water. However, we strongly suggest that you thoroughly familiarize yourself and friends or members of your family with safe boating practices before setting out.
  • Page 27 CHAPTER 1 You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) for every person on board. These PFD’s should be in good condition and easily accessible. Insist that non-swimmers and children on board weara PFD at all times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make sure everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself.
  • Page 28 Safety On Board Never drink and drive! As captain, you are responsible for the safety of your passengers and yourself. Alcohol and boating can be a dangerous combination. DO NOT mix them. Alcohol impairs the boat operators ability to make conscious decisions and react to emergency situations quickly.
  • Page 29 Encourage a periodic maintenance check on all safety equipment. Contact your Regal dealer or marine professional for more information. Again, remember that the captain is responsible for his passengers and vessel.

  • Page 30: Required Safety Equipment

    Safety On Board REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT Personal Flotation Devices All personal flotation devices (PFD’s) must be Coast Guard approved, in good working condition, and must be the correct size for the wearer. All PFD’s must be readily accessible. This means being able to wear them in a reasonable amount of time in case of an emergency (fire, boat sinking, etc.).
  • Page 31 CHAPTER 1 • TYPE I- Also known as an off-shore jacket, it provides the most buoyancy. It is a PFD for all waters and is especially useful in rough waters where rescue may encompass additional time. It is designed to turn most unconscious users in the water to a face-up TYPE I PFD position.
  • Page 32 Safety On Board • TYPE V- This is the least bulky of all PFD’s. It contains a small amount of inherent buoyancy, and an inflatable chamber. It is rated even to a Type I, II, or III PFD (as noted on the jacket label) when inflated.

  • Page 33: Fire Extinguishers

    CHAPTER 1 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS General Information Fire extinguishers are classified by a letter and numeric symbol. The letter references the type of fire the unit is designed to extinguish. (For example, type B extinguishers commonly used on boats are designed to put out flammable liquids such as grease, oil and gasoline. The number indicates the general size of the extinguisher (minimum extinguishing agent weight).
  • Page 34 Safety On Board U. S. Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers are required on all Regal boats. Besides the minimum Coast Guard requirements always check state and local agencies for additional requirements and equipment. Coast Guard approved extinguishers are hand-portable, either B-I or B-II classification.

  • Page 35: Visual Distress Signals

    CHAPTER 1 Another type of liquified gas used today is Halon.This gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than air and sinks to the lower bilge to extinguish fires. Since the year 2000 ingredients for Halon has changed to a more environmental friendly formula. Halon is used in portable- hand units along with making up the majority of boat automatic fire extinguishing systems.
  • Page 36 Safety On Board All in all, each distress signal has certain advantages and disadvantages. There is no distress signal that is best under all situations. Pyrotechnics are recognized world-wide as superior distress signals. A downfall is they emit a very hot flame that can cause burns and or ignite flammable materials.

  • Page 44: Exhaust & Carbon Monoxide

    2. Do not disable the carbon monoxide alarms that come with your Regal boat. Test the unit in accordance with the alarm manufacturers instructions. 3. Do not operate the engine for extended periods of time while in a confined area or where exhaust outlets face a wall or bulkhead.
  • Page 45 CHAPTER 1 Blockage of exhaust outlets can cause carbon monoxide to accumulate in the cabin and cockpit area even when the hatches, windows, portholes and doors are open. Exhaust from another vessel alongside your boat, while docked or anchored, can emit poisonous CO gas inside the cabin and cockpit areas of your boat.
  • Page 46 Thoroughly ventilate cabin and cockpit areas. Determine the probable source of the carbon monoxide and correct the condition immediately. Regal has installed CO detectors on your boat. Have these detectors professionally calibrated at regular intervals. To help prevent carbon monoxide accumulation, ventilate your cabin and cockpit while underway.
  • Page 47 CHAPTER 1 WARNING EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL! INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS BEFORE EACH OUTING. Each Outing Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure. Look for exhaust leaking from the exhaust system components, indicated by rust and or black streaking, water leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.

  • Page 48: Boating Under The Influence

    Safety On Board BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WARNING FEDERAL LAWS PROHIBIT OPERATING A VESSEL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. THESE LAWS ARE VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED BY ALL ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. Operating a vessel while intoxicated became a specific federal offense effective in 1988.
  • Page 49 CHAPTER 1 Alcohol Myths And Facts Myth: Beer is less intoxicating than other alcoholic beverages. Fact: One 12 oz. can of beer has about the same amount of alcohol as a 5oz. glass of wine or a shot of liquor. Myth: Black coffee, fresh air, and a shower will sober the effects of alcohol.

  • Page 57: Weather & Water Conditions

    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 handhelds.
  • Page 58 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 60: Navigation Rules Defined

    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.

  • Page 61: Navigation Rules

    CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATION RULES Right Of Way 1. Cross waves at right angles. 2. 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. 3.

  • Page 62: Rules Of The Road

    Rules Of The Road • Sailboats; they have the right-of-way over powerboats. However, if a sailboat is using a prop to move forward, it is considered a powerboat even if the sails are up. • Remember the unwritten “rule of tonnage”. Basically a smaller tonnage vessel should take every effort to avoid close quarters with a larger tonnage vessel.
  • Page 63 CHAPTER 2 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 64 Rules Of The Road NAVIGATION RULES An overtaking boat is burdened, and is not the priveleged craft, enen 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 65: Navigation Aids

    CHAPTER 2 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 continous system of charted markers for accurate piloting on paper and on the water.

  • Page 68: Night Running

    Rules Of The Road NIGHT RUNNING Boats operating between sunset and sunrise ( hours vary by state), or in conditions of reduced visibility, must use navigation lights. Nighttime operation, 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 69: Bridge Clearance

    CHAPTER 2 BRIDGE CLEARANCE Be aware that your vessel requires a specified bridge clearance height. This height is a measured estimate from the waterline to the top of the highest object usually the radar arch, radar or the masthead light depending on what arch equipment is installed.

  • Page 76 Engines & Controls Gauge Operation Following is a general description of gauge operations. An alert skipper monitors his gauges constantly for any system malfunctions. The gauges are lighted for night operation. Gauges are an early warning system for engines just as they are for an automobile. For more information refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual in the owner’s pouch.
  • Page 77 CHAPTER 3 Temperature Gauge: The temperature gauge monitors the cooling system of the engine. A sudden increase in the temperature could be a sign that the engine cooling system is malfunctioning. Shut down the engine immediately and investigate the problem. Consult your engine manual for allowable limits.
  • Page 78 Engines & Controls Trim Gauge: This 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.The gauge can be helpful in achieving the most economical running condition.
  • Page 79 CHAPTER 3 Optional Gauges & Indicators The optional gas vapor detector determines if there is a level of gasoline vapors that is unsafe in the engine room of the boat. If installed, turn on the unit and wait about one minute for it to do its safety test.

  • Page 80: Audible Alarms

    Engines & Controls Audible Alarms Most Mercruiser and Volvo engines use audible alarms. They are designed to use sensors which pick up deviations from the normal operating parameters. Oil pressure and temperature sensors send a signal to a buzzer under the dash which sounds a high pitched alarm indicating a possible problem.

  • Page 81: Ignition Switch

    CHAPTER 3 Ignition Switch The ignition switch features 4 positions. In a clockwise direction they are auxillary, off, run, and start. The start position is spring loaded and the key should be held in this position to engage the starter. Once the engine has started release the key from the start position.

    CHAPTER 4 FUEL The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel fill fittings marked “gas” or “diesel”, fuel hoses, fuel vents, anti-siphon valve, 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.
  • Page 96 Systems Fuel Vents Fuel tanks are vented overboard for the fumes to escape. While the tank is filled, air is displaced by the incoming fuel is relieved through the fuel vent. When the fuel tank is near or full slow down or stop the nozzle flow to keep the fuel from splashing out the vent.

  • Page 97: Fuel Filters

    Do not remove the anti-siphon valve or its components from the fuel tank. Clean or replace a clogged or stuck anti-siphon valve. Contact your closest Regal dealer or marine professional for more information Fuel Gauge & Sender The dash fuel gauge is only an indication of the on board fuel supply.

    CHAPTER 5 FENDERS Fender Usage Fenders are normally made of a rubberized plastic and are usually filled with air. Most have a fitting like a basketball so they can be inflated or deflated. Fenders are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to fit both small and large vessels.

  • Page 110: 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 111 CHAPTER 5 Bow springs are secured at the vessels’ bow area. Forward spring lines lead forward from the boat to the dock and control movement sternward.

Contact your Regal dealer for further information or consult your engine manufacturer’s handbook. Turning Once the boat has gathered headway, with the boat planing at the correct bow angle and the stern drive unit and helm straight the boat tends to stay on a uniform course heading.
  • Page 117 CHAPTER 5 When the vessel begins to gather speed to stern, the water passing by the lower gearcase housing will continue to increase steering torque. If the helm wheel is turned to starboard, and will direct the propeller thrust to port, tracking the stern to starboard. Wind and current will affect how a vessel backs.

  • Page 118: Trim Angle

    Vessel Operation of the water hitting the lower gearcase, the propeller thrust is directed by turning the stern drive, whic can add to the steering torque. The prop tends to throw the stern to port. This is why experienced skippers undertake a portside landing when wind and current conditions permit.

    CHAPTER 10 LAUNCHING Serious accidents can occur at the launching ramp. Therefore, it is imperative you be alert and attentive during launching and docking activities. Study the ramp area and surrounding water for any potential hazards, such as a short ramp or one with a drop off at the end. If you are uncertain of the conditions, ask someone else who has just used the ramp if there are any peculiarities to the area.

    CHAPTER 10 LOADING BOAT The most important thing to remember when getting your boat out of the water is that often the ramp will be crowded. As you approach the ramp, make a visual inspection of the traffic, both at the ramp and all around you.
  • Page 240 Trailering After pulling your boat away from the ramp, be sure to go through all the checks involved before departure. Reinstall the harness connector and check the lights, brakes, safety chain, winch, hitch, wheel bearing and tie downs. Make sure the boat is covered properly and all loose gear is stowed.
