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 and drive
components. 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 carefree winterization procedure. For Cummins/
MerCruiser assistance call Cummins Care at 615-871-5101.
