Safety On Board Safety awareness can’t be over emphasized. Safety on board needs to be the skipper’s number one priority. In this manual you will fi nd 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 23
Precautionary Labels Read and understand all safety labels affi xed 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 and the label list does not cover everything! Use common sense to analyze the result of an action on board your vessel.
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 25
CHAPTER 1 You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal fl otation 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 wear a PFD at all times.
Page 26
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 27
fi re extinguishers, and personal fl otation devices. 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.
Safety On Board REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT Personal Flotation Devices All personal fl otation devices (PFD’s) must be Coast Guard approved, in good working condition, and must be the correct size for the wearer.

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 classifi...
CHAPTER 1 Another type of liquefied gas is used today in automatic fire extinguishing systems which is used on select models. The canister gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than air and sinks to the lower bilge to extinguish fi res. Since the year 2000 ingredients for fi re extinguishers have changed to a more environmental friendly formula.
Page 34
Safety On Board All in all, each distress signal has certain pros and cons. There is no distress signal that is best under all situations. Pyrotechnics are recognized worldwide as superior distress signals. A downfall is they emit a very hot fl ame that can cause burns and or ignite fl ammable materials.
Safety On Board SOUND PRODUCING DEVICES According to both Inland and International Rules, all boats must carry some way of producing an effi cient sound signal. If your vessel is 12 meters (39’ 4”) or longer, a power whistle, power horn or bell must be carried.
Safety On Board MARINE SANITATION DEVICES Recreational vessels under 65’ with installed toilet facilities must have an operable marine sanitation device (MSD) on board. Vessels 65’ and under may use Type I, II, or III MSD. All installed MSD’s must be U.S. Coast Guard certifi...

CHAPTER 1 Communications EPIRB It is a good idea to carry communication gear such as a VHF-FM and/or HF transceivers set up for your operating area. Also, cell phones are useful in many coastal areas. Be sure to carry extra batteries. Also, mainly for offshore vessels, EPIRB’s are designed to quickly and accurately alert rescue forces, indicate an accurate distress position, and guide units to the distress scene.

Page 43
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 44
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 45

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 specifi c federal offense effective in 1988.
Page 47
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.
Safety On Board BOATING ACCIDENTS The following is a list of common causes of boating accidents. Be aware of them and take the necessary steps to ensure that your crew and yourself are educated and prepared to act in an emergency.
Page 49
CHAPTER 1 Passengers, especially children that are not wearing the proper life saving devices. Skipper or passengers not seated in the boat. Running a craft that is mechanically marginal.

Page 51
CHAPTER 1 General safety procedures for towing skiers and wake boarders include the following: Know your hand signals and make sure all your passengers know them. See the illustration. Do not allow non-swimmers to ski or wake board. You’re asking for trouble! Always have an observer on board whose sole job is to watch the skier/wakeboarder and communicate with the driver.
Page 52
Safety On Board If the skier falls, return promptly to retrieve him, circling wide from the starboard side, to bring his rope within easy grasp. WARNING AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! DO NOT USE SKI TOW FITTING FOR LIFTING OR PARASAILING. THE FITTING COULD PULL OUT OF DECK.

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 56
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.

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.
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 60
Rules Of The Road • Sailboats; they have the right-of-way over power boats. 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 61
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 62
Rules Of The Road 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 fi rst 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.
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 specifi c information. They form a continuous system of charted markers for accurate piloting on paper and on the water.

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.

Extensive damage can result if proper winter storage is not followed. Your Regal dealer has been factory trained on Regal boat systems. Consult your Regal dealer for further information regarding technical issues and parts.
It should be checked after each 50 hours of operation or if the vessel has run aground or hit a submerged object. Alignment should be checked by a Regal dealer or marine professional since special tools and procedures are required.
Page 70
Engines & Controls Catalyst Engines Due to federal and state regulations many newer domestic marine engines are retrofi tted from the engine manufacturer with a catalytic converter system for a cleaner environment. The sheer numbers of these engines will fi ll the marine propulsion market over the next few years.
Refer to the engine manual for proper procedures since each stern drive application is unique. Call a marine professional or your Regal dealer for further information.

CHAPTER 3 Typical Gauge Operation Following is a general description of typical gauge operations. Your vessel may not use the same gauge footprint shown below or may incorporate selected gauge readings as part of the RegalVue display. The gauges are lighted for night operation. An alert skipper monitors his gauges constantly for any system malfunctions.
Page 76
Engines & Controls Multi Gauge: The multi gauge is standard equipment. Its function is to indicate fuel level, engine oil pressure and temperature along with DC system voltage. Note: Vessels with the optional Reg alVue will display these four gauge readings once the engine statistics button is activated.
Page 77
CHAPTER 3 Depth Gauge: The depth g auge is standard equipment on selected models. The depth gauge indicates the water depth under the keel of the boat. It features a shallow water alarm. By monitoring the water depth closely, damage to props and underwater hardware may be avoided.
Page 78
Engines & Controls Other Gauges & Indicators If installed, the 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 79
CHAPTER 3 Typical Catalyst Engine Mil Gauge Shown is a typical dash mounted engine emission status panel (mil gauge) used with catalyst engines. It provides a visual and audible (beeping alarm) means of monitoring engine and emission control systems. The panel will show the outline of an engine on the left side and a warning sign on the right.
Engines & Controls Audible Alarms Most Volvo and MerCruiser 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
CHAPTER 3 REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW Your vessel uses a single lever Forward Reverse side mounted controls. To NEUTRAL INTERLOCK help visualize the operating BUTTON principals we have used a clock mode. The levers in the straight-up or 12 o’clock (neutral) position are detented and feature a push button (see illustration) which allows advancing...
Page 82
Engines & Controls Typical Control You will hear a distinct sound and will “feel” the remote control in the neutral position. If you turn the key to the “start” position and the engine starter doesn’t crank over the engine make sure the remote control is in the neutral position.
Page 83
Systems ELECTRICAL 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 fl ows one-way in the circuit. Direct Current (12 volt DC) Storage batteries (sometimes called wet-lead cell batteries) furnish 12 volt DC electricity to boat components.

Page 91
Systems Additional DC Switches/Panels Your Regal boat may display additional switches or possibly switch panels based on select equipment installed or possible options on board. It is possible that component switches may be in a different order on the switch panel verses what is shown in this section.
Page 92
CHAPTER 4 Underwater Lts. This switch controls the LED formatted blue underwater lights mounted on the hull in the transom area. These lights can be helpful in docking and tight maneuvering or just for general lighting. They can be used to attract bait fi sh. Panel Lt.
Page 93
Systems Helm Seat Control The horizontal positioned switch controls the helm seat movement. Pressing the momentary forward portion of the switch moves the seat toward the bow. Pressing the momentary aft portion of the switch moves the seat toward the stern. The center switch position is “off ”.
If they “blow” due to an overload, they can be replaced at the panel under the helm. Replace with the same amperage and type. Carry extra fuses which are available at marine supply stores or the closest Regal dealer parts department. Refer to your engine manual for additional information.
Page 95
Gasoline in the United States and other areas is blended with 10% ethanol and is known as E-10 at the pumps. Marine engines used in your Regal boat may be operated with gasoline blended with no more than 10% ethanol and that meets the minimum octane specifi cation.

CHAPTER 4 WASTE Chemical Toilet Installed as standard equipment on your vessel is a self-contained sanitation device known as a chemical toilet featuring an upper fresh water tank and a lower deodorized tank. These two components can be separated for waste disposal, cleaning and refi lling. The lower tank contains a capacity gauge.
Vessel Operation GETTING UNDERWAY 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 further detail.

USING IMPROPER OCTANE FUEL CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE AND VOID THE WARRANTY. Before Fueling Make sure a working fi...
Vessel Operation During Fueling Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the fuel fi ll to guard against static sparks. The fuel fi ll pipe is grounded through the fuel system wiring to protect against static electricity. Avoid overfi lling the fuel tank. Leave room for expansion. Also, if fuel exits the fuel vent indicating the tank is full, this situation is dangerous and unfriendly to the environment.
CHAPTER 5 STARTING & STOPPING The following general information covers starting and stopping your engine. Read and understand all previous information on remote controls, fueling and operational procedures. Pay particular attention to all labels. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for in depth propulsion system information.
Page 109
Vessel Operation WARNING GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, OPERATE BLOWER 4 MINUTES AND CHECK ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINE LEAKS OR VAPORS. RUN BLOWER BELOW CRUSING SPEED. CAUTION TO AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE! CHECK THE OIL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING. IF LOW OR NO READING SHUT DOWN ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.
CHAPTER 5 Stopping Before stopping the engine make sure it is in neutral and idle speed. After an outing let the engine cool down at idle speeds for a few minutes before turning the ignition off. Glance at the gauges one last time to monitor their readings.
CHAPTER 5 FENDERS Fender Usage Fenders are made of a rubberized plastic and are usually fi lled with air. Most have a fi tting like a basketball so they can be infl ated or defl ated. Fenders are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to fi t both small and large vessels.
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 114
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 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 115
Vessel Operation The bow and stern lines should be relatively at a 45 degree angle with the dock. The stern line can be attached to the near-shore quarter cleat, but will work more effi ciently to the offshore quarter cleat. The longer line will allow the boat fl...
Page 116
CHAPTER 5 If another line is dropped over yours, simply reverse the process. Secure a little slack in the other dock line, then slip your eye up through its loop and over the top of the pile. Your line can be dropped through the other eye.
Page 117
Vessel Operation STERN DRIVE DOCKING Stern drive powered boats are fairly easy to back up and maneuver with a little knowledge and docking practice. One of the most important aspects of the process is to keep your calm in the wake of a busy marina.
Page 118
CHAPTER 5 C. Center the wheel to align the boat parallel with the dock. If the stern is too far from the dock, shift to neutral, then put the wheel hard over to port and then go forward a second or two. * Control in neutral idle position.
Large horsepower stern drive boats produce more thrust and steering torque but Regal boats use power steering. Below is some basic information on how single stern drive boats handle in normal conditions.
Page 120
CHAPTER 5 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. To assure the boat trim angle is correct use the trim gauge as a guide while activating the trim button on the remote control panel.
Page 121
Vessel Operation Backing Down Stern drive boats do not have rudders. The boat uses a steering system that directs the propeller thrust, by turning the stern drive unit where the propeller is mounted. Normally maneuvering the I/O boat is easier than a similar single screw vessel. If your boat has the steering wheel and stern drive straight with the control in reverse, the stern will be pushed a bit to port by...
CHAPTER 5 TRIM ANGLE Stern drive boats have the ability to angle in or out their drive unit in relationship to the transom. This is accomplished by hydraulic shocks located on the stern drive along with an electrical sender unit that reads the drive angle and sends information to the dash trim gauge showing a reading.
Page 123
Vessel Operation 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 124
CHAPTER 5 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. Use caution when operating in rough water or crossing another boat’s wake.
AND STEERING TORQUE CAN ALSO VARY DUE TO CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS. IF YOU EXPERIENCE BOAT INSTABILITY AND/OR HIGH STEERING TORQUE, SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED REGAL DEALER. Shallow Water Operation Operating your vessel in shallow water presents various hazards. You are more apt to hit a...
Page 126

Page 138
CHAPTER 6 Ovcrview If installed the windlass features a stainless steel polished “claw” style anchor complete with swivel. This anchor has high holding power in most seabeds. A momentary windlass rocker switch located at the anchor locker controls the lowering and retrieving of the anchor through the windlass. A 50 amp breaker for windlass overcurrent protection is located at the battery management panel (See illustration in this chapter).
Page 139
Equipment Operation Windlass Operation- Introduction The windlass normally comes outfi tted with a rode using 100’ of 1/2” nylon rope along with 10’ of galvanized chain. The chain is connected to the anchor shank which is next to the anchor. The chain acts as a safety margin to protect the rope rode from being damaged by sharp seabed objects such as coral that might sever the rope if it was next to the anchor.
Page 140
CHAPTER 6 Paying Out Anchor Using Gravity To let out the anchor release any anchor locks, insert the clutch handle into the gipsy drive cap and turn it in a clockwise direction to tighten the clutch. When in a safe mode, pull back on the clutch until the an- chor and rode begin to pay out.

CHAPTER 6 Trim Tabs PORT ROCKER STBD. ROCKER TRIM TAB SWITCH If installed, trim tabs are located on the lower hull of the transom. Water is defl ected and redirected as the trim tabs are raised and lowered from the starboard helm located trim tab switch.
Page 255
Equipment Operation Obtaining A Trimmed Position Your vessel will reach a planing position at a specifi c speed. This speed is determined by bottom design, weight distribution, water conditions, and on board equipment. As the throttle is advanced the stern squats and the bow rises initially.
Page 256
CHAPTER 6 Sometimes you can watch the bow spray or stern wake and the rooster tail (mound of water produced by stern drives). In a bow up position the spray is far aft to the hull, the wake is high and the rooster tail is high.
Page 257
Equipment Operation Porpoising Porpoising is a running condition where the bow “bounces” up and down similar to a porpoise’s swimming motion. This condition is normally caused by the trim being too far “up” as indicated on the trim gauge. Press “bow down” in one-half second bursts and the porpoising should recede and the vessel speed should increase.
CHAPTER 6 Underwater Lights As an option light bars w/ sealed LED bulbs make up the under- water lighting system. The lights are located on the transom.
