ENGINES
The propulsion systems on your yacht are complex in
scope. In colder climates, it is recommended that your
Regal yacht dealer winterize your boat's engines. Regal
dealers have undergone extensive factory training covering
the Regal yacht product line. Also, the dealer is equipped
with the parts and tools to perform a care free winterization
procedure.
Run engine. Pour a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the
fuel tank. Allow time for it to circulate through the fuel
system. Top off fuel tanks to help prevent condensation.
Change all engine fl uids as referenced in the engine
manufacturer's owners manual.
Drain cooling and exhaust system or have a marine
professional "pickle" the engine with antifreeze and rust
preventative.
Spray all exterior parts with a rust preventative.
