Introduction
Boating is becoming more popular every year. There are numerous types of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an every growing number of activities. Therefore, as a new boat owner it is of the highest priority to learn about general boating practices before operating your craft.
Your Regal dealer will answer many questions and provide valuable “hands on” information during the completion of the new boat delivery process. In addition, your dealer has received special factory training on the product line and his services should be employed to solve technical problems and periodic maintenance beyond the scope of this manual. Also, your Regal dealer carries a line of factory approved parts and accessories. Your Regal dealer can provide information regarding national training organizations such as the U.S. Power Squadron and United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Along with other organizations and literature, they can help build your “boating savvy” by developing the necessary skills and awareness to be a safe and component skipper.
Your local library can also help in providing recommended boating literature such as Chapman Piloting (Scamanship & Boat Handling by Elbert S. Maloney).
Remember, the waterways can change from normal to abnormal conditions in a heartbeat. Knowing how to react quickly comes from experience and knowledge which can be gained through boating education.
Welcome aboard!
WELCOME TO REGAL
I know I speak for everyone at Regal when I welcome you to the ever-growing family of Regal boat owners. You've chosen a craft that is recognized worldwide for its standard of excellence. Each step in construction has been carefully scrutinized to assure comfort, performance, reliability and safety for both your passengers and yourself.
Your boat is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. It also complies with the applicable standards set by the United States Coast Guard, American Boat and Yacht Council and the International Marine Certification Institute. Your Regal boat was built with the same attention to detail and quality of construction that we would expect in a boat we would purchase ourselves.
Whether you're a veteran boater or a newcomer, we strongly urge you to read this boat owner's manual thoroughly. Familiarize yourself with the various components of your boat, and heed the safety precautions noted herein.
If you have questions that are not covered in this manual, please consult your authorized Regal dealer for assistance or phone the Regal factory at 407-851-4360.
Thank you, and welcome to the "World of Regal!"

REGAL OWNER'S MANUAL
Your Regal owner's manual has been compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains specific details of the vessel, the equipment, its systems, and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the vessel before using it.
This manual is not to be thought of as a complete shop technical manual. Your Regal dealer has received special factory training on our complete product line and his services should be employed to solve technical problems. In addition to your Regal owner's manual, we have provided an owner's information packet on the vessel. This packet contains important equipment literature along with vendor and warranty information.
Please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming control of your boat. Your dealer will be pleased to advise you of local training organizations such as the Power Squadron and United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Contact your local dealer if any of the above material is missing. In keeping with its commitment to continued improvement, Regal notes that all specifications, models, standard and optional equipment is subject to change without notice.
OWNER'S PACKET

Regal has provided an information packet on board the vessel. Read and become familiar with the materials. This packet contains valuable literature on your propulsion package, standard and optional equipment, systems and various care and cleaning instructions. Be sure to store the information packet in a clean, dry area.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (HIN)
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of numerically identifying vessels by using a hull identification number or “HIN.” This number identifies your Regal boats model, hull number, month and year of manufacture. The HIN is found on your boat’s transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail on the transom vertical surface. The HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the HIN for future reference. It can be especially useful when ordering parts from your Regal dealer. A second HIN number is found in a hidden location. This second HIN is useful to authorities if the vessel is stolen and the original transom HIN is modified or eliminated.
HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

VESSEL INFORMATION SHEET
It is recommended that you fill out the information on the following page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel. Make a copy of the data for safe keeping at home.
VESSEL FLOAT PLAN
Fill out the float plan on the following page before departing. Leave it with a responsible person who will notify the United States Coast Guard or local law enforcement authorities if you do not return as planned. If you change your plans be sure to notify this person. Make copies of the float plan and use one each time you go boating. This will help people know where to find you should you not return on schedule. Do not file the float plan with the United States Coast Guard.
NMMA YACHT CERTIFICATION PLATE
In the dash area you will notice a metal plate which recognizes that your boat was built to design compliance in effect on the date the certification was verified. The plate also states that your vessel complies with U. S. Coast Guard safety system standards in effect on the date of certification.

Notes
Safety On Board
Safety awareness can not 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.
SAFETY LABELS
Safety Precaution Definition
Safety precautions are stated as caution, warning and danger signal words. They are highlighted in this manual by font design and symbol usage. Also, a notice heading is included which provides operation and maintenance information but is not hazard-related. An information label provides tips on a variety of topics. Become familiar and understand all safety precaution labels!

DANGER
Immediate hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided, may result in injury or property or product damage.
NOTICE
General or specific information which is important to correct operation or maintenance, but is not hazard related.

INFORMATION
Educational tips for the skipper and crew.
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, cabin and 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. Always think safety first!
NOTICE
DO NOT REMOVE OR COVER ANY PRECAUTIONARY LABELS. KEEP HARSH CHEMICALS AWAY FROM LABELS.
IF A LABEL BECOMES ILLEGIBLE, CONTACT YOUR REGAL DEALER FOR ORDERING REPLACEMENTS.
GENERAL BOATING SAFETY
We understand that you are cager to go boating. However, we strongly suggest that you thoroughly familiarize yourself and friends or members of your family with safe boating practices before setting out.
Remember, that along with the freedom and exhilaration of boating comes the responsibility that you have for the safety of your passengers and other boaters who share the water with you.
Boating regulations vary from state to state. Check with your local state and local authorities for the regulations pertaining to your area.
◆ Check with local weather stations, the U. S. Coast Guard, or weather station broadcasts for the latest conditions. Remember getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Check weather conditions periodically while you are boating and before your outing. If you are forced to operate your boat in a storm condition, take common sense precautions; wear PFD's, store gear, reduce speed and head for safe refuge.
It is best to avoid operating your boat in foggy weather. When fog sets in, take bearings, log courses and speeds. You are required to emit a five second blast from your horn or whistle once every minute. Also, have your passengers wear PFD's and observe for oncoming vessels.
◆ Operate in shallow water presents a number of hazards including sand bars and water levels influenced by tides. If the vessel strikes an underwater hazard, check for boat and engine damage. If the engine vibrates excessively after striking an underwater obstruction, it may indicate a damaged propeller. If you run aground, seek help by radio or flares.
◆ Make sure your boat and equipment are in top condition. Do this by frequently inspecting the hull, engine and gear.
Safety On Board
- 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 wear a PFD at all times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make sure everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself. Instruct your passengers in how to put on their PFDs and be sure they know their storage location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency, a PFD that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.
♦ Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not specifically designed seating. While underway, ALWAYS insist passengers sit in the provided seating and set an example by doing this yourself.
◆ Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any smoke or flame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS check for fuel leaks and fumes when fueling is completed.

♦ 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.
♦ Never overload your boat! An overloaded boat, or one with uneven weight distribution can be difficult to steer.

- Be certain there is enough fuel aboard for your cruising needs. Include any reserve that might be needed should you change your plans due to weather or emergency. Practice the “one-third rule: Use one-third of your fuel going out,
one-third to return and retain one-third as a reserve.
◆ Always check the weather before departure. Be particularly cautious of electrical storms and high winds.
◆ Always have up-to-date charts aboard. You will need current charts of the area you'll be cruising to stay on proper course. Charts can be obtained at your closet marine outlet or store or by contacting one of three federal government agencies.
◆ Always file a float plan. Leave details of your trip with someone responsible who will be remaining on shore. Include expected return, plus name and phone number of a contact person in case of emergency.
◆ Use care, courtesy and common sense when launching, docking or operating your boat.
Learn and obey the “Rules of the Road”. A copy of the “Rules of the Road” can be obtained from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or local Power Squadron.
In case of emergency: Know the international distress signals if you have a VHF radio aboard. The spoken word "MAYDAY" is the international signal of distress and is for emergency use only. Under no circumstances should this word be used, unless there is danger at hand.
- Posted speed limits, swimming areas, “no wake” zones and other restrictions should be red-flagged. They are so noted for a reason. Sensible boat use, plus courtesy, equals enjoyable and safe boating.
It is your responsibility to stay abreast of all federal, state and local rules, as some laws or regulations may change or be different from state to state. Contact your local boating agencies for updated information.
We can not stress safety enough! Remember, there are no brakes on your boat, and the water current and wind velocity all affect your ability to respond. The driver must use caution at all times to maintain control of his vessel and especially to keep a safe distance from other boats and obstacles.
◆ Always keep all safety gear in optimum condition. Pay special attention to attached tags and plates indicating expiration dates on equipment such as fire extinguishers, and personal flotation 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.
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.). They should not be stored or locked in closed areas Also, make sure that all coverings are removed such as plastic from any PFD's. Throwable devices such as a ring buoys need to be available for immediate deployment. A PFD should be worn at all times when your boat is operating on the water. A PFD may save your life, but it must be worn to do so.
As minimum U. S. Coast Guard requirements all recreational boats must carry one type I, II, III, or V PFD (wearable) for each person aboard. See the explanation following for each type. For type V to be counted they must be used according to the label instructions. In addition, all boats over 16' must carry one Type IV (throwable) PFD.
Some states require that PFD's be worn by children of specific ages at all times. Check with state boating agencies for particular requirements in your state before taking children on the water.
Remember PFD's will not necessarily keep you from drowning, even though they are designed to keep a person from sinking. When purchasing PFD's make sure it safely fits the person wearing it. It is a good idea to test PFD's in a lifeguarded shallow pool before venturing on the water.
Safety On Board
Refer to the USCG minimum equipment requirements at the end of this chapter. It is meant to be a guide only. Contact state and local agencies for additional equipment requirements. Remember as the captain of your vessel you are responsible for its safe operation.

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 position. Type I PFD is available in adult & child sizes.

TYPE II- Also known as nearshore buoyant vest, it is recommended for calm, inland water where rescue time will be minimal. It will turn some unconscious people face-up in the water but not as numerous as Type I. They are available in adult, medium child, along with infant and small child sizes.

TYPE III- Known as a flotation aid it is good for calm, inland water or where there is a chance for quick rescue. It is designed so wearers can place themselves in a face-up position in the water. The wearer may have to tilt their head back to avoid turning face-down in the

TYPE IV- Intended for calm, inland water with heavy vessel traffic, where help is constantly present. It is designed to be thrown into the water for someone to grab on to and held until rescued. It should not be worn. Type IV includes ring buoys, buoyant cushions, and horseshoe buoys.

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. Hybrid PFD's must be worn to be acceptable.
water.
MAINTAINING YOUR PFD'S
A PFD is only useful if it is well maintained. Always be aware of PDF age since it has a life expectancy like any other piece of equipment.
√ Check periodically for broken zippers, frayed webbing, water soaked kapok bags, missing straps, and sewing that has become undone.
√ Clean each PFD with mild soap and water only. Again, let dry sufficiently before storing.
√ Keep PFD's out of grease and oil since they can deteriorate the jacket inner and outer materials.
√ Check any kapok-bagged jackets by squeezing. If you hear air escaping the bag is defective and the PFD should be thrown away.
√ Grab the cover with the fingers. If the cover material rips, the PFD is rotted and should be thrown away.
√ If the kapok bag is hard the PFD should be discarded.
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).

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. U. S. Coast Guard approved hand-portable and semi-portable extinguishers contain a metal plate that shows the manufacturers name and extinguisher type, capacity and operating instructions. They have a special marine type mounting bracket which keeps the extinguisher solidly mounted until needed. The extinguisher needs to be mounted in a readily accessible location but one out of being bumped by people while underway. All approved extinguishers need to have an indication gauge.
U.S.C.G APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER TYPES & FEATURES

The dry chemical agent is widely used because of its convenience and low cost. The extinguisher canister is filled with a white dry chemical power along with a pressurized gas. It is a good idea to shake this type periodically because they tend to "pack" on the canister bottom.
rubber, plastics, cloth wood, and paper. It leaves a messy residue. Not for electric fires.

■ The carbon dioxide unit uses CO2 gas under high pressure, with a funnel discharge hose usually swivel mounted. This extinguisher leaves no residue and does not cause interior engine harm. To ensure workability, weigh the unit annually. A 10%
maximum weight variance is allowed.
Another type of liquified gas used today is FE-241. This gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than air and sinks to the lower bilge to extinguish fires. Since the year 2000 ingredients have changed to a more environmental friendly formula (Chlorotetrafluoroethane or FE-241). FE-241 is used in portable-hand units along with making up the majority of boat automatic fire extinguishing systems. The canister needs to be weighed once a year. These clean agent units feature a dash mount indicator. Refer to the information regarding fire prevention in this manual.
VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS
All vessels used on coastal waters, any of the Great Lakes, territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them up to point where a body of water is less than two miles wide, must have Coast Guard approved visual distress signals.

The foam type uses a chemical foaming agent plus water and is best when used for fires involving flammable liquids- solvents, gasoline, oil, grease and various paints. It will work on fires involving rubber, plastics, cloth, wood, and paper. It leaves a messy residue. Do not use
this extinguisher for electric fires.
PYROTECHNIC DEVICES
Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be Coast Guard approved, be ready for service and must be readily accessible. They all display a marking which is the service life, which must not have expired. A minimum of 3 devices are required for the day and 3 devices for night.
Some devices meet both day and night requirements. Pyrotechnic devices should be stored in a cool, dry location. Most of these devices can be purchased in an highly visible (orange) watertight container. Types of Coast Guard approved pyrotechnic distress signals and associated devices are:
■ Pyrotechnic red flares, hand-held or aerial type.
■ Pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand-held or floating type.
■ Launchers for parachute flares or aerial red meteors.
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. Pistol launched and hand-held parachute flares operate consistent with firearms and therefore must be carefully handled. Check with local and state regulations since since some of these device are considered firearms and are prohibited.
NON-PYROTECHNIC DEVICES
Non-pyrotechnic devices must all be in serviceable condition, readily accessible, and must be certified by the manufacturer to comply with Coast Guard standards. They include:
■ Orange distress flag.
■ Electric distress flag.
The distress flag is for day use only. It must be 3 x 3 or larger with a black square and ball on an orange background. It can be spotted when attached to a boat hook, long fishing rod, or paddle with the person waving the flag back and forth overhead.
The electric distress flag is for night use only flashing the international SOS distress signal (..._ _ _ ...).
Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light that flashes at regular intervals from 50-70 times per minute is considered a distress signal.
Remember that regulations prohibit the display of visual distress signals on the water under any circumstances except when assistance is required to prevent immediate or potential danger to passengers on a vessel.

INTERNATIONAL DISTRESS SIGNALS

SOUND PRODUCING DEVICES

According to both Inland and International Rules, all boats must carry some way of producing an efficient sound signal. If your vessel is 12 meters (39' 4") or longer, a power whistle, power horn or bell must be carried. The bell must be 7 7/8" in diameter.
Boats less than 12 meters a horn or whistle is recommended to signal intentions or signal position. The sound signal made in all cases must be capable of a four or six second blast audible for one half mile. See the section discussing bridge and whistle signals for more information.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
VHF radios are used for distress and ship to shore and ship to ship communications today. Learn the specialized messages such as Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. It is only used when life or vessel is in imminent danger.
NAVIGATION LIGHTS
The U. S. Coast Guard requires recreational boats operating at night to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise. Navigation lights help avoid collisions by improving the night visibility of vessels. Red and green directional lights, white stern lights, white masthead lights and white all-around lights must be displayed in specified positions, depending on boat size, and mode of operation.
The configuration of visible lights tells and operator the size, direction of travel and means of propulsion (sail, power, rowing or at anchor) of another vessel.
This helps both operators determine who has the right of way. Larger boats are required to carry larger, brighter lights that are visible over longer distances. See the light requirement chart for pleasure craft.
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 certified. Most of the devices are labeled to show conformity to the regulations.

You must immediately notify the U. S. Coast Guard if your vessel discharges oil or hazardous substances in the water. Call toll free 1-800-424-8802. Report the following information: location, source, size, color, substances and time observed.
GARBAGE DISCHARGE
The act to prevent pollution from ships places limitations on the discharge of garbage from vessels. It is illegal to dump plastic trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable waters of the United States. Also, it is illegal to discharge garbage in the navigable waters of the United States, including the Great Lakes. The discharge of other types of garbage is allowed outside certain specified distances from shore as determined by the nature of that garbage. United States vessels of 26 feet or longer must display in a prominent location, a durable placard at least 4" x 9" notifying crew and passengers of discharge restrictions.
EBIRB

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, EPIRBs are designed to quickly and accurately
alert rescue forces, indicate an accurate distress position, and guide units to the distress scene. These devices operate from satellite signals sent to a ground station where the signal is downloaded. The downside is that they are relatively expensive but they are reliable even when other communications have been exhausted.
GARBAGE TYPE DISCHARGE
Plastics- includes synthetic ropes, fishing nets, Prohibited in all areas. and plastic bags.
Floating dunnage, lining and packing materials. Prohibited less than 25 miles from nearest land.

LIFE RAFTS

Inflatable life rafts are recommended for ocean going and operating a vessel in a large body of water like the Great Lakes.
They provide a shelter for extended periods. If used, make sure it is large enough for all aboard and contains the proper emergency equipment pack. Also, get the unit professionally serviced. Make sure the life raft is Coast Guard approved.
USCG MINIMUM EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
Use the chart below as a guideline for assuring your vessel is outfitted to meet the USCG standards. Remember to check the local and state authorities for additional equipment requirements. Make sure your vessel and trailer registration paperwork and numbers on the boat are up to date and displayed properly according to state requirements. Keep the paperwork on board in a watertight and safe environment. Make sure it is quickly accessible.

EXHAUST & CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust can be hazardous. It is important for you and your passengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaust gases. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
For safety sake avoid the following:
- Do not allow the boat to remain stationary with the engine idling for an extended period of time.
- Do not disable the carbon monoxide alarms that come with your Regal boat. Test the unit in accordance with the alarm manufacturers instructions.
- Do not operate the engine for extended periods of time while in a confined area or where exhaust outlets face a wall or bulkhead.
- Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with the canvas in the upright and installed position.
- Have the engine exhaust system inspected when the boat is in for service.
- Persons sleeping can easily be overcome by carbon monoxide without realizing it. Do not sleep on board while the engine is running.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM CO POISONING! DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT WITH PEOPLE HOLDING ON TO THE SWIM PLATFORM WHILE IN THE WATER.

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.

The “station wagon effect” or backdrafting can cause CO gas to accumulate inside the cabin, cockpit or bridge areas when the
boat is under-way, using protective weather coverings, high bow angle, improper or heavy loading, slow speeds, or when boat is at rest.
In high concentrations, CO can be fatal in minutes. However, the effects of lower concentrations over a extended period of time can be just as lethal.
Carbon Monoxide accumulation requires immediate attention! 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 according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
Symptoms of excessive exposure to carbon monoxide are:
• Dizziness • Watering, itchy eyes
- Drowsiness
- Flushed appearance
- Nausea • Inattentiveness
- Headache • Incoherence
- Ringing in the ears
- Fatigue or vomiting
- Throbbing temples
- Convulsions

WARNING
EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL! INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM REPAIR OR REPLACE LEAKING, CRACKED AND CORRODED, OR MISSING EXHAUST COMPONENTS BEFORE EACH OUTING.

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A TASTELESS, ODORLESS AND INVISIBLE GAS THAT CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, SEVERE ILLNESS, AND EVEN DEATH. EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE OPERATING GENERATOR OR ENGINES IN CONFINED SPACES OR AT DOCKSIDE. DO NOT ALLOW HULL EXHAUST OUTLETS TO BECOME BLOCKED OR EXHAUST FUMES CAN BECOME TRAPPED IN AND AROUND THE CONFINES OF YOUR BOAT. DURING IDLE AND SLOW CRUISE CONDITIONS, BILGE BLOWERS SHOULD BE USED.

To help prevent carbon monoxide accumulation, ventilate your cabin and cockpit while underway. Open a forward hatch, porthole or window to allow air to travel through the boat's interior. See the
illustration below for desired airflow.
EACH TRIP
■ Make sure all exhaust hose 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.
- Inspect all rubber exhaust hoses for burned or cracked areas. All rubber hoses should feel soft and and be free of kinks.
■ Visually verify that water exits at the engine exhaust outlet.
- Keep an ear tuned for any change in exhaust sound that could indicate an exhaust component malfunction.
DO NOT OPERATE THE VESSEL IF ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS EXIST. CONTACT A MARINE PROFESSIONAL!
At Least Annually
(To be performed by a marine professional);
√ Replace exhaust hoses or mufflers if any evidence of cracking, charring or deterioration is found.
√ Replace the engine water pump impeller along with the plate and housing if necessary. This will help prevent cooling system and in turn exhaust system overheating.
☑ Inspect each of the metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking or looseness. Pay detailed attention to the exhaust manifold, cylinder head, water injection elbows.
BOATING & ALCOHOL
! 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. The ruling set federal standards for determining when an individual is intoxicated. If the blood alcohol content (BAC) is .10% (.08 in some states) or higher for operators of recreational vessels being used only for pleasure are subject to a civil penalty up to \1,000 or criminal penalty up to \5,000, one year imprisonment or both. In some states the fines and imprisonment may increase significantly.
The effects of alcohol and drugs account for the highest single cause of marine accidents and deaths. Most deaths in boating accidents occur when someone falls into the water. Balance is one of the first things you lose when drinking alcohol or under the influence of drugs. The problem arises out of not knowing your balance is restricted.
Overall vision is reduced by alcohol especially at night, along with double or blurred vision. Peripheral vision is lessened which restricts seeing vessels or objects on the side. Also, color awareness decreases especially with red and green which happen to be the colors of boat navigation lights, buoys, and channel markers.
Alcohol will greatly increase your heat loss so it increases the effects of hypothermia. Finally, your ability to make correct judgements in emergency situations is greatly reduced. Alcohol takes away the brains ability to process information quickly and delays a persons reaction time.
Don't drink and drive!
Safety On Board
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.
Fact: After consuming alcohol time is the only thing that will sober you up. Our bodics average burning 1 oz. of alcohol every hour. If a person is drunk, it will take a person seven or more hours to sober up.
Myth: Telling if a person is too drunk to operate a vessel is easy.
Fact: Many experienced drinkers have learned to compensate for the visual effects of alcohol and can disguise their drunk condition.
Myth: You can judge if you are fit to operate a boat.
Fact: Judgement is one of the first elements you lose when drinking.
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 yourself and crew are educated and prepared to act in an emergency.
-
Mixing boating and alcohol. Remember, the skipper is responsible for his boat, crew and passengers.
-
Trying to reach the bow by the deck walk-around while the vessel is moving too fast.
-
Someone sitting on the bow, deck, or swim platform while underway.
-
Choosing a boating outing day with inclement weather, especially in high winds and thunderstorms in the forecast or staying out when bad weather is approaching.
-
Discembarking without checking all the fluids or systems, and especially fuel system components.
-
Not monitoring the boating traffic or possible obstructions around you.
-
Emergency communications equipment, signaling devices, and navigation lights not working.
-
Improper boat handling especially high speed turns in rough water. Using trim improperly.
-
Being too far from shore with inadequate fuel supply or navigational aids.
-
Passengers, especially children that are not wearing the proper life saving devices.
-
Skipper or passengers not seated in the boat.
REPORTING BOATING ACCIDENTS
According to the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 involving collision, accident or other casualty, the operator must make a formal report within 48 hours to the nearest state boating authority when the incident involves:
- Death
- Injury requiring treatment other than first aid
- The disappearance of someone from a boat under death or injury circumstances.
A formal report must be made within 10 days for accidents involving more than \$500 damage or complete loss of vessel.
For information regarding accident reporting, placease call the Boating
Safety Hotline at 800-368-5647.
The operator of a vessel is obligated by law to provide assistance that can be provided safely to any individuals in dangerous situation on the waterways. The operator is subject to fine and or imprisonment for failure to do so. Move cautiously and think before acting.
RENDERING ASSISTANCE
The operator of a vessel is obligated by law to provide assistance that can be provided safely to any individuals in dangerous situation on the waterways. The operator is subject to fine and or imprisonment for failure to do so. Move cautiously and think before acting.
! DANGER
AVOID BODILY INJURY OR DEATH! TO AVOID FALLING OVERBOARD STAY SEATED IN THE COCKPIT WHILE THE BOAT IS RUNNING.
WATER SPORTS
Besides learning the safety precautions for safe boating, as well as understanding and knowing required rules and regulations, you are obligated to be particularly careful around other water sportsman, such as scuba divers, water skiers, wake boarders, and fisherman.

diver's air bubbles.
Whenever you see a “Diver Down” flag, maintain a distance of at least 100 feet on inland waters. In bays and open waters stay 300 feet away. The flag indicates a diver in the water. If a diver is operating from your boat, be certain to use this flag and post a lookout on board to observe the
SWIM PLATFORM
On integrated or extended swim platforms you should make periodic inspections of the swim ladder and hardware that supports the platform to ensure that all connections and fittings are tight and in good condition. When fishing from your boat, never anchor in a shipping channel or tie up to any navigational aids. These must be kept clear of at all times. Use heed when operating the boat in reverse to insure that water does not accumulate excessively on the platform or transom, especially in rough seas or strong currents. Do not exceed the platform recommended maximum

capacity label! Typical label shown above.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT WITH PEOPLE IN THE WATER OR ON TOP OR HOLDING ON TO THE SWIM PLATFORM STRUCTURE.

Most boaters fish from time to time. With the propulsion systems of today it is possible to fish in out-of-the-way places. When crusing, stay clear of fisherman. They may have lines or nets out which might be cut or get caught in your propeller if you come too close. Slow down when approaching fishing boats.
Do not return to cruising speed until the boats have been passed. If a fishing boat should be anchored, a large wake could flip or swamp the boat, upset fishing gear, pull the anchor loose from the bottom or worse yet cause someone to fall overboard.
Do not return to cruising speed until the boats have been passed. If a fishing boat should be anchored, a large wake could flip or swamp the boat, upset fishing gear, pull the anchor loose from the bottom or worse yet cause someone to fall overboard.
When fishing from your boat, never anchor in shipping channel or tie up to any navigational aids. These must be kept clear of at all times.
Be sure to carry a chart of the area and be on the lookout for shallow water and hidden obstructions. Pick up a local tidal chart if appropriate so you do not end up grounded.
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. Also, many local radio stations carry weather reports.
CLOUD FORMATIONS
Clouds indicate the type of current weather and upcoming changes in the weather. Knowing the type of cloud formations can assist you in choosing the appropriate boating day or if already on the water will help you understand any upcoming weather changes. Flat clouds (stratus) normally indicate stable air. Cumulus clouds indicate unstable air. Many times a “cottonball” or cumulus cloud builds vertical height in the afternoon and the result is a thunderstorm with increased winds and waves; sometimes these storms are quite violent. You can find additional information on weather (meteorology) at your local library.

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. Coastal areas see large “blankets” of fog roll in and stay for extended time periods causing sometimes hazardous navigation conditions. If you are caught in the fog, do not panic. Think of the best plan of action and proceed carefully. If you are limited in navigation equipment at the first sign of fog proceed to the nearest shoreline and wait until the fog lifts.
Boats equipped with navigation equipment, local waterway experience and charts should proceed to a safe harbor. Use extreme caution, signal as needed, and reduce to a speed where you can stop within half of your forward vision range.
If foul weather catches you at sea do the following:
-
Slow down. Proceed with caution and put on your life vests.
-
Try to reach the nearest safe shoreline.
-
Navigate your vessel slowly into the waves at a 45-degree angle.
-
Passengers should sit low in the center of the vessel.
Safety On Board
-
Monitor your bilge pump. Make sure sump stays free of water.
-
Secure loose gear. Make ready emergency equipment.
-
If the engine stops, throw the anchor over the bow. If needed use a sea anchor. Never anchor off the stern.

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. The international rules (referred to as72 COLREGS) apply to vessels operating on the high seas and all connected waters outside the established demarcation boundaries. Most navigational charts show the demarcation lines by red dotted lines and are published in the navigation rules. Remember to consult state and local agencies since areas such as “no wake zones,” swimming beaches, “diver down flag” and inland landlocked lakes fall under their jurisdiction. This section is only an introduction to the “rules of the road”. We strongly recommend additional training before getting behind the “wheel” of your boat.

WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY AND DEATH FOLLOW THE NAVIGATION "RULES OF THE ROAD" TO PREVENT COLLISIONS.

NAVIGATION RULES
RIGHT OF WAY
- 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.
- Keep your speed under control. Respect the rights of other boaters engaged in all water sports. Give them a plenty of operating room.
- Whenever meeting a boat head on, keep to the right where possible.
-
When two boats cross, the boat to the right (starboard) has the right of way.
-
When overtaking or passing, the boat being passed has the right of way.
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.
- A vessel restricted in its maneuverability; these vessels usually are performing work which limits their maneuverability such as surveying, dredging, laying pipe or cable, or servicing navigational markers among others.
- A vessel engaged in fishing; these include boats fishing with lines, trawls or nets, but not trolling lines.
- 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. One way to accomplish this is to have a designated human lookout to “eyeball” the horizon for any developing collision course.
- Use defensive driving skills on the waterway just as you do on the roadway. The other vessel may not know the "rules of the road". Be alert and ready to take immediate action.
- If a collision course is unavoidable neither boat has the right of way. Both boats must react to avoid an accident according to the rules of the road.

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.
These rules appear when there is a risk of collision. In a crossing situation be aware of the other craft's position. For safety, there should be a noticeable change in the angle, bow or stern; a gradual change in position indicates possible danger.

NAVIGATION RULES
An overtaking boat is burdened, and is not the priveleged 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. The overtaken craft responds with the same signal if safe, or with the danger signal (5 short blasts or more) if unsafe. The boat overtaking must not pass unless the appropriate signals are sounded.

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 on the water.
Nautical charts are provided by the National Ocean Service (NOS) and are distributed nationwide through marinas and outlet stores. These charts show the geography of the coast, water depth, landmarks, navigation aids (buoys and markers), marine hazards, and port facilities. Use only up-to-date charts for navigation. We recommend when purchasing a chart to look for the weather resistant ones. Buoys provide a roadmap to keep the skipper on course and to avoid hazards. Buoys are identified by light, shape, color and in severe weather conditions by sound.
Buoys or beacons called lateral markers indicate the port and starboard sides of the waterway to be followed. U. S markers follow the buoyage system known as Red Right Returning. When returning from sea or traveling upstream, the green markers are to port (on your left) and the red markers are to the starboard side (on your right). When traveling downstream or out to sea the marker color would be reversed.
Also, there are GPS devices along with plotters that use various cards to show the geography of waterways.
Before operating your vessel, learn to identify the various navigational aids such as lateral aids, mid-channel markers, information and regulatory markers.

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. To see more easily at night, avoid bright lights when possible. Also, it is helpful to have a passenger keep watch for other boats, water hazards and navigational aids.
To determine the size, speed and direction of other vessels at night, you should use the running lights. A green light indicates starboard side, and a red light indicates port side. Generally, if you see a green light, you have the right-of-way. If you see a red light, give way to the other vessel.

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 equipment height. The estimated height can change because of variances in the loaded condition of the vessel. Consult the bridge clearance specifications located in Chapter 12 (Technical Information section).
Some bridges are tendered. Know and use the proper bridge signals when approaching these bridges (see bridge signals in this chapter). You can also monitor and communicate on channel 13 of a VHF radio for bridge information in most domestic locals. Other bridges are marked with a clearance measurement and you are on your own.
After determining your vessel will clear the bridge proceed with caution at a safe idle speed. Keep your eye on vessel traffic at all times in order to react quickly. Resume a safe speed once clear of the bridge structure and acknowledgment of clear visibility.
Use common sense regarding bridge clearance because boat property damage and bodily injury could result if a mishap occurs with a bridge structure.
Engines & Controls
INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers stern drive & V-drive propulsion systems separately since the vessel is offered both ways. Information related to both propulsion systems is presented together at the beginning of this chapter.
It is important that you read all engine manuals carefully and become completely familiar with the operation as well as necessary maintenance requirements on the engine itself and related propulsion system.
If this is your first boat, learn to operate the boat in a controlled environment where you can practice shifting and docking operations at your own pace. Learn how the vessel's engines and propulsion systems behave at different speeds, in different seas, and under various load conditions.
To prevent possible fire or explosion, check the engine compartment for fuel fumes and leaks before each outing (before starting engines) and after each outing (after stopping engines). Always smell for the presence of gas fumes. This procedure will help you detect fuel, coolant, or oil leaks and to spot anything else unusual that has occurred or is about to take place.
If powered by stern drives raise the drives and check the drive housings and propellers for obstructions, fish line and damage.
On V-drive vessels ensure that the all seacocks are open and the sea water strainers are clear of debris.
Your Regal dealer has been factory trained on various vessel systems. Consult your Regal dealer for further information regarding technical support and parts.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! READ ALL MANUFACTURER'S ENGINE AND PROPULSION OWNER'S MANUALS BEFORE STARTING YOUR ENGINES AND OPERATING YOUR VESSEL.

CAUTION
NEVER RUN THE ENGINES
OUT OF THE WATER.
SEVERE DAMAGE
TO THE WATER PUMP, IMPELLER
AND ENGINE PARTS COULD OCCUR.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
Ventilation systems are required for engine compartments. Your boat features a set of deck cowlings. Under the cowlings is a system of ducting that supplies constant fresh air to the engine compartment. Dual powered blowers connected to ducts in the lower one third of the bilge help evacuate any fuel vapors and carbon monoxide to the atmosphere.
The intake ducts are separated from the exhaust ducts to help prevent any mixing of the two systems. They are found on both port and starboard deck sides. See the illustration.
Owners are responsible for keeping their boat's ventilation systems in top operating condition. This means making sure the ventilation openings are obstruction free, duct hoses are not blocked with insect nests, tore, blowers operate properly and any worn parts are replaced with approved marine replacements only. Never use automotive or RV parts since they may not be ignition protected and therefore may cause a fire or explosion especially if used in the engine compartment.

READ & UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABELS!
! WARNING
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE! BEFORE STARTING ENGINE(S) OPERATE BLOWERS 4 MINUTES AND CHECK ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINE LEAKS AND VAPORS. RUN BLOWER BELOW CRUSING SPEED.

! WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH DO NOT STORE GASOLINE OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS IN CONTAINERS ANYWHERE ON THE VESSEL!
! WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH USE ONLY APPROVED MARINE REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT ARE IGNITION PROTECTED.

CONTROLS
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

The entire dash instrument panel wiring is protected by a main 20 amp ignition breaker. It is connected through the key switch.
Both engine wiring harnesses
are protected by a main breaker (Mercruiser) with a push button or a "flag style" reset breaker mounted on the engine or a breaker/relay box (Volvo). On Volvo units each breaker or relay is listed by position on the cover diagram. If a breaker "pops" or a fuse "blows" figure out the reason why before resetting or replacing it.
Refer to the maintenance chapter for more information. Individual switches located at the starboard helm are protected by a circuit breaker located below the dash.
Note: In an emergency, when you need to run the engine and the fault for the overload can not be found and corrected, disconnect or turn off all engine accessories and gauge wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker remains open, the overload has not been eliminated. The fault must be further investigated. Contact your closest Regal dealer or marine professional.
NOTICE
WITH THE BATTERY SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION THERE IS NO POWER TO THE DASH KEY SWITCHES.



INSTRUMENTATION
The helm station is equipped with a complete set of instruments (called gauges) to monitor the condition of the engines. Close observation of the gauges is the responsibility of the captain while cruising. Periodically scan the gauges for the appropriate meter levels including the depth gauge. It may save the engines or vessel from damage.
Become familiar with all the gauge functions especially their safe limits while cruising. The following pages introduces the gauges and related instrumentation. Gauge deflection (movement) is very similar to automobiles.
GAUGE OPERATION

Tachometer
The tachometer (tach) indicates the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer allows you to monitor the engine speed so you do not surpass the limits of the engine manufacturer.
Some tachometers have built in hour meters.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the level of fuel inside the fuel tanks. It is a good idea to keep the fuel tanks "topped off" when possible to reduce fuel vapors inside the tank. Do not run the fuel level close to
empty. Figure in an adequate "safety" factor when monitoring fuel gauges since they are not entirely accurate.

Oil Pressure
The oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the oil inside the engine lubrication system. A drop in oil pressure may be an indication of a low oil situation or a leak. Operation of the engines with low oil pressure could lead to
engine damage. Refer to appropriate manufacturer's engine manual for more information.

Depth Gauge
The depth gauge indicates the water depth under the keel of the boat. It features a shallow water alarm which is adjustable. By monitoring the water depth closely, damage related to props and
underwater hardware can be avoided.

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.

Speedometer
The speedometer used on selected models indicates kilometers per hour and miles per hour by measuring water pressure against a small hole in a device mounted under the boat
or in the stern drive housing. Consult the owner's information packet on speedometer maintenance.
Engine & Controls

system or battery problem.
Volt Meter
The volt meter monitors the battery condition as well as the alternator performance. Normal voltage is between 12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings outside of this range may indicate a charging

The optional automatic fire extinguishing system utilizes an instrument display unit (gauge) that provides the operator with a system status of charged or uncharged condition by an audible alarm. With the ignition on and no light indicates the system has discharged. If the system should discharge the ignition system will be instantaneously interrupted. Should this occur shut down the engine, ventilation blower and any electrical system components. Investigate the source of the shutdown immediately and take appropriate action. Refer to the manufacturer's owner's manual.

This stern drive only 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.
When the boat reaches the desired trim the operator disengages the trim button which through the trim gauge indicates the relative altitude of the vessel. The gauge can be helpful in achieving the most economical running condition.

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 perform a self-safety test. If all is well it will give you a green light. You must run the test before you start the engines. In the event the gauge does not show a green light, you must investigate the bilge of the boat for gas fumes or signs of a fuel leak before starting the engines. If uncertain, consult a marine service professional.

High Water Alarm
This gauge through a bilge sensor determines a high water situation and sends a signal. This may indicate that a large amount of water has entered the hull and/or the automatic bilge pump cannot evacuate water overboard fast enough.

TYPICAL STERN DRIVE HELM OVERVIEW

STERN DRIVE ENGINES
It is important that you read the engine manual carefully and become completely familiar with the operation as well as required maintenance procedures on the engines and related propulsion systems.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
Regal features dual binnacle style remote controls on the 3760. The port (left) control handle operates the port engine shift and throttle positions. The starboard (right) control handle operates the starboard engine shift and throttle positions.
All remote controls feature a neutral detented position for starting the engines. A neutral safety switch prevents the engine from starting in gear. Engines will not crank over unless the remote control shift handle is in neutral. At that point the neutral safety switch permits current to pass through to the starter solenoid for cranking over the engine.
Some controls make a clicking noise at the neutral detent position while others feature a distinct “crush” in the remote control handle when neutral is found.
At the outside base of each remote control handle is a small button. It is called a “throttle only button.” See the illustration. Press in the “throttle only” button and you will be able to advance the throttle without engaging the gear shift. This feature is useful when trying to start a cold engine because of the ability to adjust the engine speed to starting conditions. As the engine starts and idles smoothly you can return the throttle to the neutral detented position at which point you will hear the “throttle only” button pop out after which you can then shift the drive unit into forward or reverse.
Notice that each engine has designated power trim and trailer functions controlled by switches normally mounted on the remote control box along with a dash gauge(s) that allows you to change and monitor trim angle. Do not confuse the power trim with the trim tab switch located on the dash panel.
STERN DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL

The trailer switch raises the outdrive beyond the trim elevation. This feature is especially useful when inspecting or changing the drive propellers or hardware. Operate the trailer function only when the boat is stopped in the water or the engine could overheat from a lack of water being picked up by the stern drive. This control positions the trim switches for both engines on the port control handle for ease of operation. See illustration A.
! CAUTION
NEVER SHIFT THE CONTROL HANDLES WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED AS SHIFT OR DRIVE SYSTEMS COULD BE DAMAGED.
Engine & Controls
STERN DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL SHIFTING

Before attempting to start the engines make sure the blower has been running for at least 4 minutes and you have finished a sniff test to detect any gasoline vapors.
To use the stern drive remote controls follow these steps:
-
Make sure the remote control handles are in the neutral detented position. Listen for the click or the "crush" as the control handles engage the neutral detent. See illustration A.
-
With the control handles in neutral push in the throttle only button on each control handle. Advance the throttles slightly. Do not fully advance the throttles as fuel injection engines may become flooded.
-
Start both engines. After the engines have started let them warm up for 5 minutes or so. Be sure to monitor the gauges for proper oil pressure and temperature during the warm up period. As the engines reach normal operating temperature and they smooth out you can return both remote control handles to the neutral position. At this position you are ready to shift into forward gear.
-
With the engines running in neutral engage both shift handles into the forward gear position. At that point you will feel the propellers pushing the boat forward.
Pushing the control handles beyond the forward gear position will result in the throttles increasing the engine speed and revolutions per minute which is shown on the tachometers. See illustration B.
- For neutral position from forward, pull the control handles aft until you locate the neutral detent.

Pushing the control handles beyond the reverse gear position will result in the throttles increasing the engine speed and revolutions per minute which is shown on the tachometers. See illustration C.
- For neutral position from reverse, push the control handles forward. This will release the stern drives from reverse gear as soon as the neutral detent is found.

STERN DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL THROTTLES
- To reach a full throttle position from forward or reverse gear simply push the throttles toward the bow in forward gear or pull the throttles toward the stern in reverse gear until the desired revolutions per minute (rpm's) is found.
- You will learn to synchronize (engines running at the same rpm) both engine throttles to the tachometers with experience. You will need to make minor adjustments while cruising to your remote control throttle handles. Eventually your ear will sense whether both engines are running at the same speed and rpm.
Engine & Controls

Once you have mastered the basics of the remote control shifting process follow this information for maneuvering in close quarters using the remote control handles with minimum throttle only.
-
Engage the port control handle into forward gear with minimum throttle.
-
Next, engage the starboard control handle into reverse gear position with minimum throttle. See illustration E.
-
This allows headway to starboard with minimum throttle. The vessel will run a circular course to starboard.

The position above allows headway to port with minimum throttle.
- Engage the port control handle into reverse gear with minimum throttle.
- Next, engage the starboard control handle into forward gear with minimum throttle. See illustration F.
- This allows headway to port with minimum throttle. The vessel will run in a circular course to port.
NOTICE
THE TURNING BOW POSITIONS LEND THEMSELVES TO DOCKING SITUATIONS, BRIDGE OPENINGS AND MARINA COMMUNICATIONS.
BEFORE STARTING STERN DRIVE ENGINES
Before starting the engines follow the general instructions in chapter 6 (Vessel Operation). As a quick review follow these guidelines:
- Make sure the blowers have been running for at least 4 minutes. Open the engine hatch and sniff for fuel vapors. If vapors are present shut down all systems until the cause is found and corrected.
- Remove any loose canvas and store in a dry location.
- Shut and secure all hatches and doors.
- View the propellers and stern drives for any obstructions.
- Make sure the swim ladder is secured in its folding position.
- Check fuel supply.
- Turn all battery switches to the "on" position.
- Turn on the VHF and listen for the latest weather.
- Make sure all passengers are accounted for, seated and their life jackets are properly fitted.
- Check for a balanced load.
STARTING STERN DRIVE ENGINES
Read and understand the remote control functions explained earlier in this chapter before attempting to start the engines.
-
Locate the remote control handles in the neutral detended position. Make sure you hear the distinct click or feel the handle in neutral. This position provides minimum throttle which is usually good for starting fuel injection engines. You may find you do need to use the throttle only button to give you a slight throttle advance but you need to be careful not to flood the engine.
-
Crank over one engine until it starts. Release the key at that point. It is the same procedure as an automobile. If the engine fails to start, refrain from cranking the engine after 10-12 seconds. Allow the battery and starter recovery time.
-
As the engine cranks to start you may hear an audible alarm. It should end once the engine starts since it will develop the necessary oil pressure to shut down the alarm. If it does not subside shut the system down and investigate the situation. Do not operate the engine once the alarm has sounded except to avoid a hazardous situation. As part of the engine damage control system engine speeds could be reduced if an alarm has sounded. Again, shut down the engine and find the cause of the problem. Call professional assistance if the cause can not be found.
Engines may feature the following audible alarms. Read your engine owner's manual for additional information.
- Engine oil pressure too low.
- Engine temperature too high.
- Stern drive oil too low.
- Seawater pressure too low- not enough water being picked up by the stern drive or engine water pump.
Engine & Controls
If the oil pressure is too low stop the engine and check the engine oil pressure.
If the temperature is too high, check the stern drives for obstructions. Sometimes plastic bags or sand may of been sucked up into the intakes and as a result the water supply may be restricted. Check the engine hoses for leaks or failures.
Remember your engines may feature other control modules such as:
Knock sensor system for low octane fuel.
Ignition, fuel and idle air control.
Rev limiters to control revolutions per minute.
-
When the engine starts, immediately check the oil pressure gauge for the recommended oil pressure. Advance the throttle slightly (Around 1000-1200 rpm's) to smooth out the engine. Let it run at this position until it is warmed up. Then reduce the throttle to the minimum position.
-
As the engine warms up monitor the temperature gauge for the recommended system limits.
-
Scan your other gauges. The volt meter should show above battery voltage. Also, it is a good idea to adjust your trim gauges to the “in” position at this time.
-
Crank over the other engine following the same procedures mentioned above. After both engines have warmed up you can secure the remote control handles in the minimum throttle position for shifting.
SHIFTING STERN DRIVE ENGINES
Look around you 360 degrees to make sure the coast is clear before shifting the remote controls. Engage both controls in forward or reverse with a brisk motion until they reach the gear position. Do not shift the controls in forward or reverse slowly as drive damage could result. With practice you will develop this shifting motion.
As you make headway push both throttles ahead until the bow begins to rise. With additional throttle the bow will fall and the vessel will begin to plane. As this happens use the power trim to achieve the best running position along with the trim tabs to adjust for load, sea and wind conditions.
Review chapter 6 for additional operating information.
STOPPING STERN DRIVE ENGINES
To stop the engines simply pull back both throttles to the detented neutral position from forward or reverse gear. Let both engines idle for a few minutes especially after a long cruise. During this time period, monitor the gauges for recommended limits.
Never turn off the ignition keys while the engines are in gear since at that point the vessel is out of control. Never back in reverse with maximum throttle since water could enter the engines through the exhaust system and damage the internal engine parts.
STERN DRIVE PROPELLERS

We have carefully tested and chosen the propellers to give your boat the best possible performance and have allowed for the additional weight in equipment that might be added to the boat.
It is a good idea to carry a spare set of propellers and hand tools in order to handle an emergency propeller change. Refer to the maintenance chapter or this manual for propeller changing information.
Contact a propeller shop or your closest Regal dealer if any of the above symptoms exist. Propeller shops have special equipment to refurbish both stainless steel and aluminum propellers. After making any blade alternations the propellers are “repitched” in special prop jigs.
NOTICE
NEVER CONTINUOUSLY RUN WITH A DAMAGED PROPELLER SINCE DRIVE UNIT AND ENGINE DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
In an emergency propeller remember to take off the hardware and lay it out for correct reassembly. Always use genuine marine manufacturer replacement parts.

DANGER
PREVENT SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! SHUT OFF IGNITION SWITCH NEAR SWIMMERS TO AVOID ROTATING PROPELLER BLADES.
PROPELLER CHECKLIST
At least twice a year check the propeller for:
☑ Loose, missing or corroded hardware.
☑ Nicks, dings or missing propeller material
☑ Bent propeller blades.
☑ Objects wrapped around the prop such as fish line.
☑ Decomposing propeller blades (electrolysis symptom).
☑ Aluminum prop with paint coming off near blade tip (ventilation symptom).
☑ Send the propellers out to a local shop to have the propeller hub checked for slippage.
NOTICE
A POSSIBLE INDICATION OF A SLIPPING PROPELLER HUB IS WHEN THE BOAT IS NOT RUNNING TO SPECIFIED SPEEDS OR THE TACHOMETER SHOWS EXCESSIVE RPM OF ONE ENGINE OVER THE OTHER ENGINE. A SLIPPING HUB IN A PROPELLER CAN NOT DEVELOP THE NEEDED THRUST AND LOSES EFFICIENCY.
Engine & Controls
STERN DRIVE PROPELLER ROTATION

Volvo Stern Drive Shown
Shown in the illustration above is a Volvo stern drive with propellers. The outer propeller is a left hand; the inner propeller is right hand.
Notice how the tip of the blade on the outer propeller travels down and to the left. The tip of the inner propeller travels down and to the right. The same holds true for propellers when you lay them down. This is one way to identify propeller rotation.
Advantages of featuring dual rotating propellers on the drive unit is more efficiency and less steering torque.
STERN DRIVE BILGE EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

Engine & Controls
STEERING-STERN DRIVE
Stern drive vessels use a rotary style steering system. This system transfers helm mechanical energy to the engine. There is a hydraulic steering cylinder with the help of a steering pump which sends fluid force to the stern drive steering arm changing the course of the boat, depending on the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Refer to the steering manufacturer's literature in the owner's packet for more information along with the following illustrations.

Since the steering system is the primary link for engine control, it must be periodically inspected and maintained. The hardware at both the helm and engine must be checked regularly for tightness.
Before Each Outing Check:


-
All steering hardware for tightness especially the cotter and clevis pins holding the steering cable to the steering actuator and tie bar.
-
Coupler nut is tight and torqued to specifications.
-
Tie bar, pin and hardware connecting both engines to the steering system.
-
Check the power steering reservoir on the engine. Remember twin engines both share one power steering system.
-
See the appropriate engine manufacturer's operating manual for additional detailed information.

It is important that you read the engine manual carefully and become completely familiar with the operation as well as required maintenance procedures on the engines and related propulsion systems.
BEFORE STARTING V- DRIVE ENGINES
Before starting the engines follow the general instructions in chapter 6 (Vessel Operation). As a quick review follow these guidelines:

-
Make sure the blowers have been running for at least 4 minutes. Open the engine hatch and sniff for fuel vapors. If vapors are present shut down all systems until the cause is found and corrected.
-
Make sure all passengers are accounted for, seated and their life jackets are properly fitted.
-
Remove any loose canvas and store in a dry location.
-
Check for a balanced load.
-
Shut and secure all hatches and doors.
-
Remove any debris from the engine water strainers before turning on the seacock handle.
-
Ensure both engine seacocks are in the "open" position. In the open position the handle is in line with the incoming hose not perpendicular to it. See the illustration.
-
Make sure the swim ladder is secured in its folding position.
-
Check fuel supply levels.
-
Turn all battery switches to the "on" position.
-
Turn on the VHF and listen for the latest weather.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

Regal features separate binnacle style remote controls on the 3760 V-drive. The port (left) remote control handles operate the engine shift positions. The shift controls can also be identified by the black inserts on the control handles. See illustration A.
The port shift handle controls the port engine.
The starboard shift handle controls the starboard engine.
NOTICE
PRACTICE YOUR REMOTE CONTROL SHIFTING AT AN ON THE WATER ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT HEAVY BOAT TRAFFIC.

The starboard (right) remote control handles operate the starboard engine throttle controls. The throttle controls can also be identified by the red inserts on the control handles. See illustration B.
The port throttle handle controls the port engine.
The starboard throttle handle controls the starboard engine.
! WARNING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST SHIFT OR THROTTLE CONTROLS. CONSULT A MARINE PROFESSIONAL.
NOTICE
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR AT IDLE SPEEDS ONLY.
Engine & Controls
V-DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL SHIFTING-TYPICAL
All V-drive remote controls feature a neutral detented position for starting the engines. A neutral safety switch on the transmission prevents the engine from starting in gear. Engines will not crank over unless the remote control shift handle is in neutral. At that point the neutral safety switch permits current to pass through to the starter solenoid for cranking over the engine.
Some controls make a clicking noise at the neutral detent position while others feature a distinct “crush” in the remote control handle when neutral is found.
Before attempting to start the engines make sure the blower has been running for at least 4 minutes and you have finished the sniff test to detect gasoline vapors.
To use the stern drive remote controls follow these steps:
-
Make sure the remote control handles are in the neutral detented position. Listen for the click or the "crush" as the handles find neutral. See illustration A.
-
With the control handles in neutral advance the throttles slightly. Do not fully advance the throttles as fuel injection engines may become flooded.
-
Using the key switch crank over each engine until they start. After the engines have started let them warm up for 15 minutes or so. Be sure to monitor the gauges for proper oil pressure and temperature during this warm up period. As the engines reach normal operating temperature and they smooth out you can bring both remote control throttle handles to the minimum position. At this position you are ready to shift into forward gear.

- With the engines running in neutral engage both shift handles into the forward gear position. At that point you will feel the propellers push the boat forward. See illustration C.
Pushing the control handles beyond the forward gear position will result in the throttles increasing the engine speed and revolutions per minute which is shown on the tachometers.

- With the engines running in forward or neutral engage both shift handles into the reverse gear position. At this point you will feel the propellers pulling the boat aft.
Pushing the control handles beyond the reverse gear position will result in the throttles increasing the engine speed and revolutions
per minute which is shown on the tachometers. See illustration D.
- For neutral position from reverse, push the control handles forward. This will release the V-drives from reverse gear as soon as the neutral detent is found.
V-DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL THROTTLES-TYPICAL

trol throttle handles. Eventually your ear will sense whether both engines are running at the same speed and rpm.
See illustration E for maximum throttle position. See illustration B for minimum throttle position.
-
To reach a full throttle position from forward or reverse gear simply push in forward gear or pull in reverse gear until the desired revolutions per minute (rpm's) is reached.
-
You will learn to synchronize both engine throttles to the tachometers with experience. You will need to make minor adjustments while cruising to your remote con-

Once you have mastered the basics of the remote control shifting process follow this information for maneuvering in close quarters using the remote control handles with minimum throttle only.
-
Engage the port control handle into forward gear with minimum throttle.
-
Next, engage the starboard control handle into reverse gear with minimum throttle. See illustration F.
-
This allows headway to starboard with minimum throttle. The vessel will run a circular course to starboard.

V-DRIVE PROPELLERS

We have carefully tested and chosen the propellers to give your boat the best possible performance and have allowed for the additional weight in equipment that might be added to the
boat.
Carry the necessary tools in order to handle an emergency propeller change. Besides hand tools a propeller pulling tool for V-drive propellers would be an important part of your emergency tool kit. They can be purchased at a marine supply house.
Carry a set of extra propellers and hardware such as keways, nuts, and cotter keys for emergency repairs.
Always use genuine marine manufacturer replacement parts which can be ordered from your Regal dealer.
Many times a boater is cruising far from his mooring when he needs emergency repairs. A facility may be able to sling your vessel for propeller changing but may not have the special hardware or correctly sized propellers for your vessel. Be prepared!
On twin V-drive vessels the port propeller turns in a counterclockwise direction and the starboard propeller turns in a clockwise direction. This is to balance out the torque of the propulsion systems. When removing and replacing V-drive propellers, be sure to install the correct rotation propeller on the correct drive.
One way to tell if a propeller is left hand (counterclockwise) rotation is by viewing the blades. The blades will curve down to the left when looking at the propeller installed correctly on the shaft..
A right hand propeller (clockwise) rotation blade will curve down to the right when looking at the propeller correctly installed on the shaft.
NOTICE
NEVER CONTINUOUSLY RUN WITH A DAMAGED PROPELLER SINCE V-DRIVE, SHAFT AND/OR ENGINE DAMAGE COULD RESULT.

DANGER
PREVENT SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! SHUT OFF IGNITION SWITCH NEAR SWIMMERS
TO AVOID ROTATING PROPELLER BLADES.
Engine & Controls
V-DRIVE PROPELLER ROTATION

Left Hand Rotation

Right Hand Rotation
The blade section closest to the boat that cuts through the water first is called the leading edge. Again, if you follow the leading edge on the above propeller it will trail down to the left thus being a left hand rotation propeller.
Note: The diameter of a propeller is measured from the center of the propeller out to the tip of the blade and multiply by 2.
The pitch is the distance that propellers would move inone revolution if it were traveling through a soft solid. Normal stamping for diameter and pitch on Regal propellers is on the hub. For example, a 18x21 propeller means that the diameter is 18" and the pitch is 21"
Sometime propellers are cupped. The trailing edge of a blade has a slight curl outward (away from the vessel). It is said that a V-drive propeller has a certain cup like 5 which is usually stamped in the hub. A cupped propeller will normally allow more “bite” in the water.
If you follow the leading edge on the above propeller it will trail down to the right thus being a right hand rotation propeller.
V-DRIVE BILGE EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

Engine & Controls
STEERING/V-DRIVE
TYPICAL V-DRIVE STEERING SYSTEM (NOT IPS)

Operation
The V-drive vessel features a hydraulic steering system which functions like an automobile with power steering. Hydraulic hoses connect the helm station (steering wheel) to a cylinder located in the engine compartment. As the wheel is turned fluid is purged through a series of valves applying force to the tie bar and rudders. The rudders turn which change vessel direction.
Like an automobile turning the steering wheel clockwise produces a right direction. Turning the steering wheel counterclockwise produces a left direction.
Unlike a mechanical steering system or an automobile there is no definite stop in the wheel travel. This system features relief valves that allow the wheel to continue turning after the steering cylinder has reached the end of its travel. You will feel a slight increase in effort to turn the wheel once this has occurred.
Fluid Recommendations
- To prevent steering fluid loss keep the steering helm filler cap tightly shut. See the illustration.
- The oil level is to be within 1/2" of the bottom of the fill hole.
- Teleflex/Seastar hydraulic oil is the specified filler for your steering system. A spare bottle (HA5430) can be ordered from a Teleflex/Seastar dealer.
Other acceptable and recommended oils for the steering system are:
Texaco HO15
Aero Shell Fluid #41
Esso Univis N15 or J13
Chevron Aviation Fluid A
Mobil Aero HFA
Note: In an emergency automatic transmission Dextron II can be used.

Note: To prevent water intrusion and system contamination keep the steering fill plug tightened.
- Harsh fluids containing ammonia, acids or any other corrosive ingredients must not be used for cleaning any part of the system.

Before Each Outing:
- Check the rudder post bolt for tightness.
- Make sure the steering yoke to rudder post bolt is securely fastened with the aircraft threaded nut.
- Check the tie bar steering jam nut for tightness.
Systems
ELECTRICAL OVERVIEW
Your vessel uses both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). You need to understand the basics of each type of electrical power used on board. Besides the general information in this manual, refer to the various equipment manufacturer's literature located in the owner's information packet. Also, contact your closest Regal dealer or marine professional as required for troubleshooting and repairs. Your vessel may not contain all of the equipment or systems shown. Regal has the right to change, update or add equipment and systems at anytime.


DIRECT CURRENT (DC)
Your vessel uses 12 volt DC electricity otherwise known as direct current. It is called DC because it flows only one way in a circuit. Specific wiring harnesses, gauges, batteries, battery cables, engine electrical components, dash switches, lighting, fresh water, shower sump and bilge pumps, refrigerators, Vacuflush heads, along with any overcurrent protection are all part of the low voltage system. In this system, the black wire is designated as the “hot” or conductor wire and the white wire is referred to as the ground wire. All other current carrying wires are color coded to identify their circuit. This is especially helpful in troubleshooting and adding additional equipment. Be sure to review the wiring schematics in the technical drawing section located in the technical chapter.
Direct current is produced through the engine alternator while the boat engines are running. The alternators charge the batteries and send current through the main distribution panel, battery isolator and battery switch through the required harnesses to the appropriate battery. Normal voltage on the dash volt meter is between 12 and 15 volts. Lower or higher readings could indicate a charging malfunction or weak battery.
The alternators are normally internally “excited” around 1200 revolutions per minute. At idle speeds below 1200, the volt meter will show around 12 volts.
Direct current is stored in the ship's wet cell batteries. There are 2 engine starting batteries and a deep cycle "house" battery on the 3760.
Each battery circuit uses a battery switch that provides a positive battery disconnect, isolates all circuits and protects against the hazards of electrical fire and explosion.
At dockside a battery charger takes the place of the engine's alternator to produce direct current.
The shore power cord sends house current through the battery charger and it is converted to direct current and charges the batteries through the battery isolator just as through the engine alternators. In this scenario the main distribution battery charger switch needs to be activated for the current to flow through to the ship's batteries.
Also, the optional generator away from the dock can send house current through the battery charging system and in turn charge up the ship's batteries as needed.
Direct current circuit protection is located in several areas; dash, AC/DC distribution panel and engine.
The engine resetable breaker powers the key switches as well as the dash gauges. It does not control the dash switches such as the blower, bilge pump, etc. Refer to the engine manufacturer's owner manual for location and particulars regarding the engine breaker.
Refer to the technical chapter for specific wiring schematics. Following is a brief description of selected DC components and general information regarding them.
BATTERY CHARGER

A battery charger is located in the engine room. Its function is to keep the main engine and house batteries fully charged to provide engine starting power and house DC circuit workability. The battery charger operates on 120 volt AC shore power or optional generator power to provide the AC source for the battery charger to function. The main AC and the battery charger breaker need to be energized for the batteries to be
charged. The engine starting batteries used on this vessel are separate from the house battery as a safety feature. The battery parallel switch can be depressed and it will use the charged up battery to start each engine. See the dash illustration in chapter 4 for the parallel switch location. If the engine batteries are discharged the house battery will still allow the engines to be started. Once the engines are started the alternators can then be used to charge the engine batteries. It is critical to consider the warnings on carbon monoxide if the engines are run to charge the electrical system.
BATTERY ISOLATOR

On your vessel a battery isolator automatically senses the charge needed by a specific battery and then sends current until that battery is fully charged. The isolator features a "gate" that senses when the battery is charged and won't allow current to discharge back through the system. The battery isolator requires no periodic care other than checking for fastener tightness.
BATTERY SWITCHES

There are 3 battery switches on the vessel. Two of them are used for each of the engine starting batteries. The remaining switch marked master is used for the house “deep cycle” battery. The deep cycle battery normally features heavier plates than the engine starting batteries.
Notice that each battery switch features an on and off position. Upon leaving the vessel it is recommended that each battery switch be turned to the "off" position. This will deactivate both engines and the house related circuits. The automatic bilge pumps will still operate with these 3 battery switches turned off.
There are three 105 amp resetable circuit breakers mounted on the battery switch panel for each individual battery switch. At times when the battery charger or the alternators are not charging the batteries it protects the wiring from the battery isolator to the battery terminal. If a circuit breaker “pops” determine the root cause before resetting the breaker.
DC DISTRIBUTION CENTER

The DC distribution center panel located at the engine forward bulkhead provides protection for the dash main, cabin main, windlass and electronics circuitry. Each of these appliances use resetable
circuit breakers. If a breaker should "pop" determine the root cause of the problem before resetting the breaker.
! CAUTION
AVOID POSSIBLE FIRE AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. DO NOT TURN THE BATTERY SWITCHES TO THE "OFF" POSITION WITH THE ENGINES RUNNING.
NOTICE
AS A SAFETY FEATURE THE FORWARD AND AFT BILGE PUMP CIRCUITRY IS CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDING PROTECTION EVEN WITH THE BATTERY SWITCHES AND DC DISTRIBUTION CENTER OFF.
DC CIRCUIT PROTECTION
A source of engine circuit protection is located on the engine itself. Notice that the engine breaker is resetable. It is located on the engine. Refer to chapter 4 or consult the engine owner's manual for detailed information.
The engine breaker powers the key switch as well as the engine dash gauges. It does not power the dash switches such as bilge pump, blower, etc. If the engine circuit breaker “pops” determine the cause of the malfunction before resetting the breaker.
Below is a description of the main dash switched components. This includes the helm and DC switch panel located to the starboard side of the helm seat. Read and understand their operation. Your dash may not include some of the discussed control devices. Refer to more in depth instructions to supplement this information which can be found in the owner's documentation.
Blower
This switch controls the two bilge blowers. The blowers must be activated to the “on” position at least 4 minutes prior to starting the engines. This procedure assists in evacuating any fumes in the bilge areas. The blowers should be used below cruising speeds. Besides activating the blower switch a visual check must be done before starting the engines by lifting the engine inspection hatch and “sniffing” for fumes in the bilge. Notice that each blower uses individual circuit protection as a safety measure. A red icon located in the center of the switch lights up when the blower is activated. If the light activates find the root cause of the problem. Normally there is a hull or equipment leak causing this condition.

WARNING
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE! BEFORE STARTING ENGINES RUN BLOWERS FOR AT LEAST 4 MINUTES AND CHECKENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINELEAKS OR VAPORS. RUN BLOWER BELOW CRUSING SPEEDS.
Battery Parallel Switch

The battery parallel switch provides starting power in the event one or more of the batteries are discharged. Upon starting the engines press the parallel switch to energize the circuit via a charged battery. In the event the battery parallel switch is used make sure you investigate the reason the circuit was initially discharged. A breaker protects the parallel switch.
Ignition Switch

START (SPRING LOADED)
TYPICAL IGNITION SWITCH SHOWING 3 KEY POSITIONS
The ignition switches feature three positions; off, run, and start. The 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. It will then be energized in the run position. Both key switches feature overcurrent breakers.
Note: The key switches above apply to Volvo and MerCruiser gas engines. Different key switches are used on Volvo and Yanmar diesel engines. Please refer to the owner's manual information for these models.
! WARNING
TO AVOID BODILY INJURY OR DEATH REMOVE KEYS FROM IGNITION SWITCHES WHEN THE ENGINES ARE NOT RUNNING.
Spotlight

The spotlight control features two functions. The left-sided switch center position is off. Other switch positions will deliver either
flood or spot type lights. The right-side button controls the directional pathway of the light. This is useful for docking or spotting objects in the water. The switch is lighted at night.
12 Volt Accessory Plug

The 12 volt (DC) accessory accepts items which feature male connectors similar to the ones you plug into your automobile cigar lighter. It is useful in charging up cell phones and low amperage equipment. Disconnect any equipment from the plug when not in use and attach the protection cap into the receptacle.
The switch panel controls a majority of the helm electrical equipment. They are positioned for easy access by the skipper and lighted for night visibility. The switches are written below as they are labeled on the panel.

If the vessel is equipped with an underwater light or Neutra-Salt option (Volvo only) the accessory switches will be utilized for the above mentioned equipment.
MAIN DC PANEL METER/SWITCH FUNCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION
The main direct current panel is located in the salon. It controls many of the house related functions. It features both a direct current volt and amp meter.
DC VOLT METER
The DC volt meter displays the condition of the “deep cycle” house battery. It should always show over 12 volts or a discharged condition may exist. Once a switch is energized a light shows itself as an on position. Always shut down all switches upon leaving the vessel.
DC AMP METER
The DC amp meter displays the amount of direct current draw in amperes on the house circuit. This varies on the amount of equipment being used at one particular time. With all the switches in the off position the meter should zero itself.
Fwd Cabin Lights
This switch controls the lights in the forward cabin. Once energized the cabin individual cabin lights can be operated.
Mid Cabin Lights
This switch controls salon cabin lights similar to the forward cabin.
Aft Cabin Lights
The mid or aft cabin lights are controlled by this single pole switch. Similar to mid & forward cabin design.
Macerator
This switch controls the optional overboard discharge pump also known as the macerator. With this switch on along with the key being turned to the on position at the monitor panel the waste tank can be pumped overboard or through a marina pump-out station. If pumping overboard make sure you are outside the legal limit to do so. Read and understand the laws regarding pumping out waste.
Finally, once you determine it is legal to pump waste overboard position the seacock to the open position before starting the macerator.
NOTICE
TO AVOID MACERATOR DAMAGE SEACOCK MUST BE IN THE OPEN POSITION BEFORE PUMPING OVERBOARD.
Fresh Water
This switch controls the water to the boats fresh water system via the fresh water tank. This system provides water to the galley, head and cockpit faucets. Before energizing the switch be sure the fresh water tank on the monitor panel shows a safe level. Running the fresh water pump without sufficient water will cause pump and or impeller damage.
Refrigerator
The main cabin refrigerator is controlled by this switch. The refrigerator features 120/12 dual capacity. The refrigerator switches AC to DC automatically with the proper switches activated. With this switch energized the refrigerator is capable of operating on 12 volts DC should the shore power fail or you are away from the dock without a generator. Remember the refrigerator demands large supplies of DC current. The house battery will discharge steadily without it being charged through the engine alternators, battery charger or optional generator. The unit can set for several hours without defrosting.
Head
This switch energizes power for the vacuflush toilet.
Acc
This 10 amp switch provides power for any additional 12 volt equipment added to the vessel.
Fwd TV
This switch controls the 12 volt standard salon television along with the optional forward/aft cabin television sets.
DC Outlets
This switch controls the 12 volt accessory outlet located in the dash.
TV Antenna
This switch controls the 1 television antenna located at the radar arch. The television reception is affected by this switch.
Head Vent
The head vent exits humidity and odors. This switch controls power to the wall vent switch.
Stereo
This switch controls the 12 volt stereos located on the vessel.
CO Detector
This switch controls the 12 volt CO detectors located in the aft and forward cabins. Notice there is a cover over the switch. Because of the importance in keeping this safety system operating at all times, it requires a two step thought process to turn the switch off.
Level Monitor
This switch controls the fresh and water tank monitor gauge. With this switch on the level monitor panel switches can be activated to determine their respective level.
ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) GENERAL INFORMATION
Alternating current sometimes called AC is used on board your vessel. It is brought to the boat through the use of shore power cords or produced on board through a generator. Alternating voltage is normally measured at 120 volts. It is important to familiarize yourself and understand the various parts of the main AC panel. It is of prime importance to respect alternating current on a vessel just as you do your home electricity.
Shore Power Locker/Inlets/Cords

The shore power locker stores the two 30 amp shore power cords along with the cable TV cord.
When connecting the shore power cords be sure to twist the cord into the inlet plug first. The cord installs one way only. Align the pins, insert the cord into the inlet plug and twist clockwise in place. Then screw the cord fitting onto the threads to lock the cord in the inlet plug.
Plug the power cord into the marina receptacle last. This reduces the possibility of a shock hazard.
When disconnecting the shore power cord remove from the marina outlet first. Then remove the cord from the ships power inlet.
Note that some dockside power boxes will not accept the male twist shore power cord. Some older power boxes use a 3 prong system similar to a house receptacle. You may need to buy an adapter that changes from twist to 3-way. They can be purchased at most marina supply houses. Make sure it is the same capacity rating as the shore power cord.
! DANGER
PREVENT BODILY INJURY, DEATH OR FIRE! NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS OR IMPROVISED CORDS IN THE SHORE POWER INLETS. USE ONLY APPROVED MARINE SHORE POWER CORDS.
GFIC Outlet
Sometimes current in a circuit escapes its normal route and finds a “ground fault”. If that vehicle ends up to be your body and the current passes through your heart the results could be deadly.
A ground fault interrupter of GFIC senses this ground current before a fatal dose can be conducted and in a fraction of a second cuts the current.
The GFIC device marine speaking is not ignition protected which means the device can not be installed in the engine room or the fuel tank area of a gasoline powered boat because of increased explosion possibilities.
Your vessel has several 120 volt receptacles. A GFIC outlet is found as the first receptacle in the circuit. By this placement all 120 volt outlets are protected on the vessel. You can identify the GFIC primary receptacle by the test and reset breaker in the center of the device. Check the GFIC protection monthly. If a problem develops with the GFIC circuitry call a marine electrician to access the situation.
The GFIC outlets are especially useful when electrical equipment is employed such as a drill or in the bathroom with the use of personal devices such as curlers and hair dryers. Never use any electrical devices when puddling water is present to prevent possible shock hazard.

Ignition Protected Devices
Many electrical devices in everyday use tend to “arc” or spark when being used. These include motors, fans, switches, relays, etc.
Vessels employ many of these same devices but they are protected from any sparking that may cause the device to ignite with any vapors such as found in the engine and/or fuel tank areas.
When replacing any electrical device make sure it is ignition protected. This means it has been tested and normally the device is stamped with a marking making it safe to use. Do not install any electrical device before ensuring it is ignition protected.
MAIN AC PANEL METER/SWITCH FUNCTIONS
SHORE POWER 1 & 2 SWITCH
AC LINE VOLTAGE AC LOAD (AMPS)

REVERSED POLARITY INDICATORS
Note: Reverse polarity indicators also exist on the transom shore power locker AC inlet plugs.
Line Voltage
This meter displays the alternating line voltage as read by the AC panel. Normal voltage should be around 120 volts. Sometimes the voltage reads lower because of spikes in the current or unusually long wire runs.
Load Current
This meter displays the amount of circuit load in amperes as equipment is used. Current load (amps) changes according to the type of device being used.
Shorepower Switch
This switch when activated to port displays all shore power 1 information in both the line voltage and load current meters. In the starboard position shorepower 2 information is displayed in a similar fashion.
Reverse Polarity
The reverse polarity icon on both shore 1 and shore 2 positions uses green and red indicator lights. With the shore power cord in place and the shore 1 and/or 2 main breakers not energized the light will indicate green or red. As with a traffic light green is go and on board the vessel it means the power is connected properly. At this point the main shore 1 or shore 2 breakers can be activated.
If the reverse polarity indicator on either shorepower shows red the hot conductor wire is reversed with another wire at some point. Do not attempt to energize either shore main breaker at this point. Disconnect the shore power cords at the mooring dockside receptacle. Normally there is a problem with the dockside wiring. For your safety, contact marina management.
NOTICE
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE OR FIRE DO NOT TRY TO ACTIVATE THE SHORE BREAKERS IF THE REVERSE POLARITY LIGHT IS DISPLAYED.
GENERATOR
Besides the shore power capability to deliver alternating current some vessels feature generators for supplying AC voltage. Generators use their own ventilation and motor to produce AC electricity on board the vessel.
The following illustration is part of the main DC panel discussed earlier in this chapter.
GENERATOR PORTION OF MAIN DC PANEL

GENERATOR ON/OFF BLOWER SWITCHES SWITCH
Generator Ventilation
Before the generator is started both blower switches are to be activated. These switches evacuate any fumes from the bilge area. Read and understand the blower label on the generator portion of the DC control panel.
NOTICE
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE GENERATOR DAMAGE ALL SHORE POWER BREAKERS AND AC SWITCHES NEED TO BE DEACTIVATED BEFORE STARTING OR STOPPING GENERATOR.
Before Activating Generator
Before starting the generator make sure all equipment switches and shore power breakers are in the “off” position. This procedure helps prevent any voltage surges when the generator starts. Refer to the AC panel illustration earlier.
Generator On/Off Switch
After the blowers are activated and run for at least 4 minutes the generator can be started. Energize the toggle style on/off switch until the generator starts. At that point release the switch and the generator starter will disengage from the flywheel. The generator should continue to run on its own.
Generator Main Breaker
After the generator starts the current produced needs to correctly routed to its final destination. Make sure the shore 1 switch is in the off position and slide the generator arm to the uppermost point. While holding it there, turn on the generator breaker. This will begin the AC current routing. The second portion of the process is accomplished with the transfer slider.
Generator Transfer
With the generator breaker in the on position turn on the shore power 2 breaker. Energize the transfer breaker by moving the slider bar up. Turn on the transfer breaker. The appropriate equipment breakers can now be turned on. Monitor the AC load current display for total amperage draw as equipment is activated.
Generator Shutdown Procedure
To shut the generator down deactivate all AC equipment breakers. Move the transfer slider upward and deactivate the transfer breaker. Finally, energize the generator stop toggle switch until the generator stops.
Fwd Outlets
This switch controls the AC outlets in the salon and forward cabins. These outlets are all GFIC protected.
Microwave
This switch controls the galley microwave.
Aft Outlets
This switch controls the AC outlets in the aft cabin which are GFIC protected.
Stove
This switch controls power to the electric stove.
Aft Air Conditioner
This switch controls the air conditioner located in the main cabin. This breaker sends power to the A/C monitor panel located in the salon.
Note: Since this panel is used on other models the slots labeled Fwd Air Conditioner & A/C Pump are fitted as blanks on the 3760.
Battery Charger
This switch controls alternating current to the battery charger located in the bilge. When leaving the vessel the battery charger breaker should be activated to keep the batteries charged.
Icemaker
This switch controls the combination refrigerator/ icemaker located in the cockpit.
Refrigerator
This switch controls the main cabin refrigerator alternating current circuit. Remember this device also operates off 12 volts direct current (DC) power.
Accessory
This switch controls the accessory switch which is blank at the factory. This allows additional aftermarket equipment to be added to the vessel. Make sure the amperage draw of the device does not exceed the overcurrent capacity of the circuit.
Water Heater
This switch controls the alternating power to the water heater located in the bilge. Notice the warning on the panel that says the water heater must not be activated without water in the heater or the element will be burned out. Once the fresh water switch is activated water will flow to the heater through the piping via the fresh water tank which can be monitored on the display panel.
The fuel system used on your vessel features similar components regardless of being gas or diesel. The system consists of the fuel tank, fittings, hoses, filters anti-siphon valves, gauges and distribution systems. The fuel tank system has been inspected at several points during your vessel's construction.
Regal has the right to change, update or add equipment and systems at anytime.

FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
FUEL TANKS
Your vessel uses aluminum fuel tanks. They are manufactured to rigorous standards. All the fuel system fittings and hoses need to be periodically checked through access plates located in the cockpit or from the bilge area.
FUEL FILLS
The fuel fills are located on the port and starboard rear deck area. They are labeled for gas or diesel filling. Some boats us a keyway to open and close the fill caps. This keyway should be located with the owner's information.
FUEL VENTS
The gasoline fuel system produces vapors. These vapors are vented overboard. At the hull you will find a vent that displaces these vapors. See the illustration. As the fuel tank is being filled the vent will displace fumes found in the tank. As the tank nears full you will hear a distinct sound of the gas vapors being displaced. Be careful slow the pumping rate near the full mark so gas does not exit the boat through this vent and pollute the water. Periodically check the vent for build up of spider webs, debris, etc. which can affect engine performance.
ANTI-SIPHON VALVE
The gasoline fuel system contains a device called an antisiphon valve. It prevents fuel from siphoning out of the fuel tank in the event of a fuel hose rupture or leak. Never remove this valve from the fuel system. Should it become inoperative replace it. It is located at the fuel tank end of the fuel feed hose.
FUEL TANK GAUGE & SENDER
The dash fuel gauge is an indication of the fuel tank level as determined by the sending unit. These 2 calibrated instruments are not 100% accurate. Use the one third rule with regard to fuel reserves.
FUEL FILTER
Each engine regardless of brand uses a fuel filter. Some are of the cartridge spin on type. The purpose of these filters is to trap foreign particles and water in the filter element. Because of the possibility of leaking fuel in the bilge these filters need to be replaced periodically by a marine professional. Call your closest Regal dealer for more information.
FUEL DISTRIBUTION VALVE
A fuel value directs the flow of fuel to and from the engine and optional generator to the fuel tanks.
DIESEL SYSTEM
Diesel engines use many fuel system components which are similar to gasoline systems. The major difference in the two systems is that with diesel you do not have the vapor and therefore the explosive characteristics of the gas system. Diesel systems use return lines which send back unused fuel to the tank for reuse.
DIESEL FILTERS
Many vessels use a special filter that separates water from diesel fuel and holds it in the bottom of the fuel filter. Normally these fuel filters feature a drain plug that can be loosened and drained to eliminate the impurities. Be sure to dispose of these materials properly. Unlike gas filters these filters use a glass bowl that can be visually inspected on a periodic maintenance schedule.
DIESEL TRANSFER PUMP

A fuel transfer pump is included within the diesel fuel system. The pump equalizes the volume of fuel between the two fuel tanks. The pump is located in the bilge at the forward engine bulkhead. The fuel transfer pump switch is located near the helm seat or dash area.
The transfer pump utilizes a
three position, center off style switch. The dash breaker must be energized to activate the switch. Once activated press the fuel transfer switch toward the fuel tank you want the fuel to flow toward.
Monitor the fuel gauges and continue to transfer fuel until the tanks are equalized.

STEERING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

STERN DRIVE STEERING
Stern drive (outdrive) vessels use a rotary style steering system. This system transfers helm mechanical energy to the engine. There is a hydraulic steering cylinder with the help of a steering pump which sends fluid force to the stern drive steering arm changing the course of the boat, depending on the direction the steering wheel is turned. Since the steering system is the primary link for engine control, it must be periodically inspected and maintained. The hardware at both the helm and engine must be checked regularly for tightness.
Refer to the operation and maintenance sections for further information.
V-DRIVE STEERING
The V-drive vessel uses a hydraulic-mechanical steering system. It includes a helm pump, hydraulic lines and fluid, rudders, steering cylinder, tiller arm and various tie-bars. The steering wheel features a smooth turning cycle similar to that of an automobile.
Unlike a mechanical steering system with definite stops from stop to stop the hydraulic system features relief valves that allow the steering wheel to continue turning after the steering cylinder has reached the end of its travel. You will feel a slight increase in effort to turn the wheel once the system has reached this position.
There are special hydraulic fluid requirements and filling procedures for the system to operate sufficiently. Refer to the operation and maintenance for further information.

TRIM SYSTEM OVERVIEW-STERN DRIVE MODELS
Your stern drive vessel features both an outdrive controlled power trim and a transom mounted trim tab system.
V-drive models use the trim tab system only. Both these systems use hydraulic cylinders which are driven electrically by a motor and valves which control the bow rise or port and starboard heeling angles depending on the particular system on your vessel.
Power Trim (Stern Drive Only)
The power trim system features 2 dash reference trim gauges. As the trim switches located on the remote control are activated the gauges will show a up or down resulting angle movement of the stern drives which effects bow rise.

The power trim system features an electric motor, hydraulic pump, and reservoir. As the trim is activated fluid moves proportionally through the system. The pump reservoir needs to be periodically checked for hydraulic fluid levels. See the engine manufacturer's engine owner's manual for specifications and capacity of trim lubricant.
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 force and aft as well as side to side. Trimming will not compensate for an unbalanced load. To operate the trim, push the switch until the desired bow position is reached. The trim may be operated at any boat speed or at rest. Avoid operating the trim system when running in reverse. Observe the trim/tilt gauge which indicates the boat's bow position achieved by the trim angle of the vertical drive unit. "Bow-Up" corresponds to the upper portion of the trim range on the gauge while "Bow Down" corresponds to the lower portion of the trim range on the gauge.
To determine the proper trim angle, experiment a little until you are familiar with the changes in your boat. The vessel will be properly trimmed when the trim angle provides the best boat performance for the particular operating conditions. A trim position that provides a balanced steering load is desirable.
To familiarize yourself with the power trim, make test runs at slower speeds and at various trim positions to see the effect of trimming. Note the time it takes for the boat to plane. Watch the tachometer and speedometer readings as well as the ride action of the boat.
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. Excessive “bow up” trim may result in the boat's bow rising rapidly, creating a hazardous condition.
The “Bow Down” or in position is normally used for acceleration onto a plane, operating at slow planning speeds, and running against a choppy wave condition. It is also used when pulling water skiers, tubers, kneeboarders, etc. In this position the boats bow will want to go deeper into the water. If the boat is operated at high speed and/or against high waves, the bow of the boat will plow into the water.
In normal running conditions, distribute passengers and gear so boat is level. At or below cruising speeds, trim the vessel for optimum performance. The trim gauge will show somewhere in the center of the gauge. This position will also enhance running visibility and overall stability. Again, each outing provides different wave, load and running conditions. Be prepared to make trim changes as needed.

CAUTION
THE BOAT TRIM SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO PROVIDE BALANCED STEERING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHILE UNDERWAY. SOME BOAT/ENGINE/PROPELLER COMBINATIONS MAY CREATE BOAT INSTABILITY AND/ OR HIGH STEERING TORQUE WHEN OPERATED AT OR NEAR THE LIMITS OF THE "BOW UP" OR "BOW DOWN" POSITIONS. BOAT STABILITY AND STEERING TORQUE CAN VARY DUE TO CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS. IF YOU EXPERIENCE BOAT INSTABILITY AND/OR HIGH STEERING TORQUE, SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED REGAL DEALER.

CAUTION
DO NOT RUN ENGINE ABOVE 1000 RPM WITH THE STERN DRIVE TRIMMED FOR SHALLOW WATER MANUVERING SINCE THE STERN DRIVE IS OUT BEYOND THE GIMBAL RING SIDE SUPPORT BRACKETS. OPERATING IN ABOVE MANNER COULD PRODUCE A DANGEROUS STEERING CONDITION OR COULD DAMAGE THE STERN DRIVE COMPONENTS.
Trim Tabs-All Models
Trim tabs are installed on the hull lower transom area. Water is deflected and redirected as the trim tabs are raised and lowered from the dash switches. This change in water flow creates upper pressure under the tabs, and raises the stern. When the stern rises, the bow is lowered. Lowering the port tab will cause the port stern to rise, making the starboard bow lower. Lowering the starboard tab will cause the starboard stern to rise, making the port bow lower.

Using trim tabs in conjunction with the power trim will compensate for uneven weight distribution, listing, water conditions, and other factors that cause inefficient operation. Remember, that trim tabs are trimming the hull while power trim is trimming the engine drive.


Obtaining A Trimmed Position
Your Regal boat reaches a planing position at adesignataed 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. The trim tabs allow your boat to plane at a slower speed than natural conditions allow.
In short bursts both trim tab rocker switches are pushed simultaneously in the “bow down” position which causes the trim tabs to move down. As the boat breaks over the bow high attitude the boat speed accelerates and visibility increases.
If the boat is overturned, it will plow the bow and the boat will lose maneuverability. If this occurs, simply short burst the "bow up" trim tab rocker switch simultaneously. In the "learning curve" process, press the tab switches in half second bursts. You will notice a slight delay from the time the switches are pushed until the boat reacts depending on vessel speed. You will know after awhile the optimum planing angle and speed.
When running in heavy seas press the “bow down” position which will assist the vessel to cut through the waves. This will produce a drier and more comfortable ride. In a following sea especially with V-drives run the tabs in a fully retracted angle for maximum rudder response.
Sometimes you can watch the bow spray or stern wake and the rooster tail (mound of water produced by the rudders or 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.
When trimmed or in the bow down position, the bow spray is farther forward, the wake and rooster tail are smaller, and positioned further behind the vessel. Also, when trimmed you will notice that the tachometers show an increase in rpm's.
Rectifying A List

Your vessel can use the trim tabs to rectify a list. The trim tabs adjust the boat's attitude in the direction the helm rocker switch is pushed.
If the port bow is high, push the left-hand "bow down" direction on the dash rocker and the port bow will lower. If the starboard bow is high, push the right-hand "bow down" direction and the starboard bow is
lowered.
Using Stern Drive Power Trim With Trim Tabs

Adjust the trim tabs to achieve a planing attitude. Use the power trim to position the prop path parallel to the water flow. At this point the trim tabs may need a fine adjustment.
One advantage of
the trim tab system is that they allow the trimming of the hull while the power trim results in trimming the props.
Porpoising
Porpoising is a running condition where the bow “bounces” up and down similar to a porpoise motion. Press “bow down” in one-half second bursts. As the trim tabs turn, the porpoising should recede and the vessel speed should increase. Only a small amount of “bow down” is normally necessary to make this change.
WATER/WASTE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Fresh Water System
Your vessel is equipped with a fresh water supply system. It consists of a fresh water tank, deck fill/vent, monitor panel, pressure water pump, distribution system, water filter, dockside water pressure regulator and water heater. The system holds fresh water until it is needed and then with the pressure pump energized, or with the dockside water pressure regulator the system will supply water to the galley, head, and transom shower.
The system is winterized from the factory utilizing a product called “Freeze Ban”. It is best to completely drain the freeze ban before adding any water to the tank in order to minimize the taste of Freeze Ban. Freeze ban will not harm you but it does have a peculiar taste. The system requires little maintenance except occasional cleaning of the water filter and winterizing during cold weather.
For more specific information on the water system see the equipment operation and troubleshooting chapters or contact your Regal dealer.
Waste Water System
Your vessel features specialized equipment that make up the waste water system. Included are the toilet, overboard discharge pump, monitor panel, waste tank, deck fittings, drains, seacocks, waste tank fittings and hoses.
For more information on the waste system refer to the equipment operation and troubleshooting chapters or contact your Regal dealer.

BEFORE FUELING
☑ Make sure a working fire extinguisher is at close hand.
☑ Stop engines and any device that can cause a spark.
☑ Disembark all passengers and crew not needed for fueling.
☑ Fuel if possible during the daylight hours.
☑ Check to ensure nobody is smoking in the boat or near the fueling dock.
☑ Close all enclosures to keep vapors from blowing aboard and settling in the bilge.
☑ Tic up your boat securely at the fuel dock.
☑ Identify the fuel fill.
☑ Visually inspect all fuel system components before each filling.
☑ Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives. They can attack fuel system hoses and cause deterioration.
DURING FUELING
- Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the fuel fill to guard against static sparks. The fuel fill pipe is grounded through the fuel system wiring to protect against static electricity.
■ Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Leave room for expansion.
■ Avoid spilling any fuel. Clean up any fuel accidentally spilled with a clean rag and dispose of it on shore.
AFTER FUELING
■ Close all fuel fill openings tightly.
■ Open all hatches.
■ Energize the blowers for a minimum of 4 minutes
■ Sniff in the lower bilge and engine compartment for gas fumes. If fumes are detected continue to ventilate until the odor is gone. Look for any traces of fuel droplets or spillage.
Do not start the engines, smoke or run any electrical components until the fumes can no longer be detected.
STARTING & STOPPING

The following general information covers starting and stopping your engines. 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.
Review all pre-departure information. Before starting your engine make sure all canvas is removed and stored. Start engine only in a well ventilated location to avoid CO buildup. Make sure all battery switches are activated. Close and lock the center windshield section.

WARNING
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH! WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING TRANSOM DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND LOCKED. SWIM PLATFORM AND LADDER MUST NOT BE IN USE.

WARNING
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE! BEFORE STARTING ENGINES OPERATE BLOWERS 4 MINUTES AND CHECK ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINE LEAKS AND VAPORS. RUN BLOWERS BELOW CRUSING SPEED.
STARTING GUIDELINES
Position the remote control handle in the neutral position. Advance the neutral throttle only position as instructed in the engine owner's manual. Keep passengers seated and away from controls.
Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. Then turn the key to the start position. You will hear the starter cranking over the engine. When the engine starts release the key switch. Duplicate the same procedure with the other ignition key.
If the engine does not start, refrain from cranking the engine over 10-12 seconds. Allow the starter and battery a chance to recover. Advance the remote control in the neutral throttle position as recommended in the engine manual. Do not race the remote control in the neutral position. Refer to the engine and control chapter located in the manufacturer's owner's manual for additional information.

CAUTION
AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE! CHECK THE OIL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING ENGINE. IF LOW OR NO READING SHUT DOWN ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.
Vessel Operation
SHIFTING GUIDELINES
Before shifting into reverse or forward make sure the coast is clear. When shifting to either gear from neutral make sure the throttle is in the idle position. Do not pause but engage the shifter quickly into the desired gear. Allow your vessel to lose all headway before shifting into reverse or forward gear. Practice shifting! You will become more familiar with the procedure and self-confidence will build especially in tight docking situations. Most importantly, stay alert!
STOPPING GUIDELINES
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. Never turn off the engine while in forward or reverse gear or back up in excessive speeds since water could enter the engine through the exhaust system and cause extensive damage. Above all, use common sense.
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. Fenders are normally designated in inches. They are used between piers, docks, sea walls and the boat. They protect the topsides of the boat from rubbing against rough objects. Most fenders have eyes of attachment which allow a line to be inserted vertically or horizontally. This will permit the fender to be tied off to fit individual dock and tidal situations. Be sure the fender is correct for the vessel size. It is a good idea to carry extra fenders but half a dozen is normally an acceptable number. Remember to store fenders on board so they can be easily accessed. Sometimes people call fenders "bumpers" but this is not correct nautical terminology.
FENDER TYPES

There is a variety of fender styles and types, each selected for specified uses. When choosing fenders, contact a marine dealer or supply house. Explain how you moor and use your vessel so they can recommend the best fender type for you. We suggest the type with a fill plug so you can inflate them with a hand pump
like the ones used for bicycles.
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. Remember that “forward” and “aft” refer to the direction that a spring line runs from the vessel, and not where it is secured on board.
BOW & STERN LINES
There is only one true bow line. It is secured to the forward cleat and run forward along the dock to prevent the vessel from moving to the stern. The stern line leads from a rear cleat to a piling or cleat on the dock astern of the vessel. This line keeps the boat from moving ahead. For small vessels these are the only lines needed for normal wind and current conditions. If located in a tidal environment, keep slack in the lines.
BREAST LINES
These lines are attached to the bow and stern that lead to nearly right angles from the center of the vessel to the dock. They help keep larger vessels from moving away from the dock, or are pulled in to help people board the vessel. Bigger vessels may use bow or quarter breast lines.
SPRING LINES
Most small boats use two spring lines although it is possible to have four. They are called the after bow spring and forward quarter spring.
Bow springs are secured at the vessel's bow area. Forward spring lines lead forward from the boat to the dock and control movement sternward. After springs stem aft from the vessel, and stop movement ahead. Spring lines are used to prevent movement in a berth, ahead or astern. They are really useful in controlling the effects of a real active tidal surge. Spring lines are useful where fenders need to be kept in place against piles.


BOAT MOORING
Most boats can be secured to a dock using four lines. The after bow spring is crossed with the forward quarter spring and secured to individual dock cleats or pilings. This ensures longer springs and can be snugged up tighter for more efficient tidal control. Remember, if you only have one piling available, position the vessel so this point is opposite admidships. Run both spring lines to it. These lines will be shorter but still useful.
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 efficiently to the offshore quarter cleat. The longer line will allow the boat flow with the tide with less time checking the vessel.
DOCK LINE SIZING
Most dock lines today are made of nylon, either of twisted rope or braided core and cover. The most often used material is nylon because of its stretching abilities absorbing shock loads. It is chafe resistant for extended life and is easier on bare hands.
The line's size varies with the vessel. Normally, a vessel in the 20' to 40' boats will use 1/2" diameter nylon lines.
Dock lines need to have the strength to hold the vessel and have enough density to resist chafing. They shouldn't be too heavy that they lose their shock-absorbing capabilities. Use the right size line for the vessel since a line too large for the boat will pull hard against the vessel since it won't be forced to stretch. If the line is too small for the vessel, there is no margin for wear and chafe when under strain
SECURING LINES
When mooring your boat, make sure the dock lines are secured at both ends. Depending on your situation you may need to loop the eye splice of the dock line around a piling. Sometimes the mooring line will lead down sharply from the piling to the deck cleat. Loop the eye splice around the piling twice to keep it from being pulled up off the pile. Pull the line through the looped eye if the mooring line is too small to go around the piling twice or too small to fit over once.
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. 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.
When debarking from a dock, it is easier to release the line from a cleat or piling, from on board the boat, as soon as you leave the dock. Loop a long line around the cleat or picr and leading both ends on board you can release the line easily. Slip one end around the cleat or pile, the pull it back on board. Release the line without the eye splice, so it will run freely from around the pile without hanging up on the splice.
STEPS TO STERN DRIVE DOCKING
Inboard/Outboard 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. Basically, the reversing propellers are turned in the direction you want to go by using the steering wheel.
Some boats tend to be influenced by the wind. When backing down in a crosswind, allow room to maneuver and watch the bow. Try not to overreact or get excited, but use your knowledge and experience. If the wind begins to swing the bow, you need to stop backing, turn the wheel to port and go forward to straighten the boat. Use a quick burst of power but not too much to knock your crew off balance.

A. Stop the boat by shifting in reverse. Put the wheel over to the port and begin backing in. Slow down your speed by momentarily shifting into reverse.
* Control in reverse idle position, Outdrives to port.
B. Continue backing up the boat with the wheel hard to port. Keep an eye on the bow, and begin to straighten the wheel as the boat enters the slip.
* Control in reverse idle position, Outdrives to port.
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. Drives centered.
D. When the boat is completely into the dock, stop stern movement by shifting into forward. Put the wheel to port to kick the stern over close to the dock if necessary. Shift into neutral Tie up the boat.
* Control in forward idle position. Drives to port.



Vessel Operation
STERN DRIVE MANEUVERING
Inboard/outboard, I/O or sometimes called 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 V-drive vessel. Directing propeller energy (thrust) makes slower speed maneuvering casier. The propeller discharge current is turned from one side to the other which results in turning forces. Rudder boats need water to flow by the rudder to be efficient. Stern drive units are designed to have reduced shaft angle, so the propeller does not produce as much unequal blade thrust and resistance as does a propeller on a single screw boat. Large horsepower stern drive boats do produce more thrust and steering torque but your vessel has the advantage of power steering. Below is some basic information on how stern drive boats handle in normal conditions.
GATHERING HEADWAY
You may notice that if you advance the throttle quickly in initial takeoff (make sure you have a firm grip on the wheel), the boat has a tendency to pull the stern of the vessel to starboard. There is a trim tab (also serves as a sacrificial anode) located on the vertical drive housing just to the top of the propeller blade. This trim tab helps compensate for the low speed steering torque. Once the boat increases headway and the propeller is operating in a faster water flow this torque effect decreases.
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 units 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.
When the helm wheel is turned to the right or starboard, the stern drive units are turned in the same direction. The propeller's discharge force is directed to starboard forcing the boats stern to port. Water flowing past the hull strikes the stern drive gear housings on their starboard side, creating additional turning torque. The stern starts a move to port, forcing the bow to starboard.
If the helm is turned to the left or port the stern drives turn to port, the stern of the boat goes starboard as the bow turns to port.
As the vessel operator gains experience, he will better gauge each maneuver and speed situation. In this way he will understand the handling characteristics of his boat. He needs to keep the safety of his passengers in the highest priority.
BACKING DOWN

Inboard/Outboard (I/O) 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 V-drive
vessel.
If your boat has the steering wheel and stern drives straight with the control in reverse, the stern will be pushed a bit to port by the reversing propeller thrust. This tendency to back to port can be eliminated by turning the stern drive to starboard.
When the vessel begins to gather speed to stern, the water passing by the lower gearcase housings will continue to increase steering torque. If the helm wheel is turned to starboard, it will direct the propeller thrust to port, tracking the stern to starboard.
Wind and current will affect how a vessel backs. Stern drive boats tend to be light displacements and when backing down in a strong crosswind, the bow will tend to fall toward the windward. This may cause steering problems.
Once increased headway is gathered in reverse gear, the force of the lower hull moving through the water is enough to track straight. When backing, the stern will lead as it heads to port or starboard, before the vessel actually starts to turn. When the control is put in forward gear position, the stern is pushed to starboard; the amount of push depends on the hull design and the amount of throttle advance.
STOPPING

Remember that your boat does not have any brakes. It uses reverse thrust from the propeller to stop. If the vessel has headway, with the helm and propellers in reverse. The propeller thrust is directed backwards, past the lower gearcase of the stern drive. Depending on how far the
throttle is advanced, the discharged thrust may not be strong enough to reverse the water flowing by the gearcase. As the power is increased, the propeller thrust becomes strong enough to stop the flow of water past the lower unit, and, as the throttle is advanced it reverses its flow more completely.
When water is flowing past the gearcases, steering torque is increased, but when the thrust stops the water flow, the boat will not respond to the helm. This is a short lived event and is overcome quickly when the water again flows past the gearcase. Furthermore, added to the energy of the water hitting the lower gearcase, the propeller thrust is directed by turning the stern drives, which can add to the steering torque.
The props tend to throw the stern to port. This is why experienced skippers undertake a portside landing when wind and current conditions permit. They allow the prop to move the stern to port toward the dock.
With a forward motion when the helm wheel is turned hard to one side, the vessel pivots around a point about 1/3 it's length abaft to stern. See illustration.
Vessel Operation
STEPS TO V-DRIVE DOCKING
Twin-screw V-drive vessels can be maneuvered in tight quarters which is always a plus in winds, currents, or busy marina environments. Depending on the conditions, stop the boat in front of the dock slightly to windward or up current. The rudder can be used as needed. Use the examples below as a guide since each situation can be unique.
It may be necessary to switch “starboard” for “port” and vice versa. In the following instance, both throttles are 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. When you reach a comfortable alignment, the port engine is put in reverse which will allow continued backing to the dock. Some adjustment in tracking can be realized by putting either control momentarily in neutral or forward. Going forward on the port engine pushes the stern to port; the starboard engine going forward pushes the stern to starboard. Again, keep your calm and do not overreact to the situation.

A. Stop forward motion with the starboard engine in reverse; the stern will begin a port movement. Continue backing up, with the starboard and port engine throttles in the idle position.

B. As the stern backs and you enter the dock, go ahead with the port engine to line up the boat with the dock.

C. As the boat aligns with the dock, put both engines in reverse; keep backing into the dock. If you put either engine in forward, the stern will move in the same direction.

B. When the boat is fully in the dock insert both engines in forward gear momentarily to stop all stern motion. Secure the boat.
V-DRIVE MANEUVERING
Twin-screw (sometimes called twin-inboard or V-drive) boats use twin rudders located directly behind each propeller. These propellers are counter-rotating which will balance steering torque. On Regal twin-screws the port propeller is left-handed and the starboard propeller is right-handed. Mark the propellers in case they need to be changed or repaired at some point as they could be mismatched on reinstallation since they both fit the shaft. Moving forward with the starboard engine for a port turn, the propeller offset from the centerline enhances significantly to pushing the stern to starboard.
In reverse, the starboard propeller throws it thrust energy toward the starboard side of the hull to assist in turning the stern to port. The port propeller reversing, throws its thrust against the port hull side to assist the pivot of the stern to starboard.
The important ingredients in turning and steering are combined by the outward turning propellers. The steering result is used in the same direction as the turning movement caused by the off centerline propeller location.
GATHERING HEADWAY
As opposed to a boat with a single propeller, if the V-drive transmission of a twin-screw vessel 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. This factor is very basic to this type of vessel having superior handling and control in tight spaces along with being able to handle wind and current much more adequately than single screw or outdrive boats.
TURNING
When you have two propellers available it provides the skipper a means of shifting one propeller or the other forward or reverse without the assistance of the rudder. When maneuvering at slow speeds the steering wheel is not normally used; the skipper uses the shift and throttle controls to control the vessels actions.
A vessel's stern may be pushed to one side or the other by moving ahead or reversing with just one propeller. A bit of headway or sternway docs accompany the turning motion. You can gain the most turning effect by energizing one propeller forward and the other propeller in reverse.
One advantage of a twin-screw becomes evident when you can turn the vessel in a circle just larger than the vessel itself. As an example, to turn to starboard, the rudders can be centered, while the port engine moves forward and the starboard engine reverses. If you want an even tighter turn, use the rudders.
Begin this type of turn with the engines at idle or in gear at the same rpm (revolutions per minute). For a starboard turn, put the port shifter in forward and the starboard shifter in reverse. When the vessel starts to turn, it may begin to make headway. This relates to the boat and propeller design. As a result, you may have to advance the port throttle somewhat to increase the rpm of the reversing starboard propeller.
When the port engine speed is increased somewhat, the circle is bigger and the vessel makes headway. If the port engine speed is decreased, the circle becomes larger, but the vessel goes sternway as the reversing starboard propeller pulls it around, stern to port.
BACKING DOWN
The skipper of a twin-screw vessel has a great advantage over other boats because they can be steered with the rudders when backing down. The benefits are less than moving forward because the propellers thrust is directed away from the rudders rather than at them.
Vessel Operation
Furthermore, besides the rudders, the twin-screw vessel skipper can use the throttles to slow down an individual or both engines as a help to steering when maintaining sternway. As a option, the skipper is able to stop one propeller or go ahead on it for a higher control factor in reverse.
STOPPING
The best way to stop a twin-screw vessel is by reversing the propellers, This action will not push the stern to one side like other type powered vessels.
The skipper of a twin-screw boat can use the following approach idea in both port and starboard situations; with the boat stopped, the skipper can reverse the propeller so the stern will be pushed toward the dock. With the starboard approach, reverse the outboard engine propeller to check headway when approaching parallel to a dock, the stern will move in. With the port approach, the reversing starboard right-hand propeller will move the stern toward the port. When approaching to put the vessel's starboard side to the pier, the reversing port propeller will move the stern toward starboard.
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 an optional windlass.
Contact an authorized Regal dealer for more information. Anchoring is easier with another person on board. First be certain that the line for the anchor is properly attached, to avoid losing the anchor and anchor line overboard.
For most anchors to perform more efficiently, you should attach 3 to 6 feet of chain. The chain will stand up to the abrasion of sand, rock, or mud on the bottom much better than a nylon line. It should be galvanized to reduce corrosion. Next, attach a length of nylon line to the other end of the chain.
The nylon will stretch under a heavy strain cushioning the impact of waves or wind on both the boat and the anchor.
To anchor, select a well protected area, preferably with a flat bottom. Contrary to modern belief, you do not throw the anchor over while the boat is making headway, or moving forward. In fact, the bow of the boat should be bought slowly backward, while easing the anchor slowly over the side of the boat until it hits the bottom. To “snub the line” means to stop its outward “pay” or movement. Usually the length of anchor line used should be 5 to 10 times the depth of the water.
After you have anchored, check your position with landmarks if possible. You need to continue to monitor these landmarks to make sure you are not drifting. Since anchoring can also be an emergency procedure, the anchor and line should be readily accessible.
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. This is done in case you need to adjust one later so the line is accessible.
If two anchors are used ahead of a boat, make sure to set the rodes at an angle rather than in a straight line to reduce the chances of tangeling as the boat moves in wind and current. See the illustration.

TOWING
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!
Deck hardware is intended for mooring and anchoring, and is not designed to withstand the strain and pull of towing. Rather than tie the line to your cleats on deck, it is suggested that you tie a bridle by passing a line completely around the hull of your boat to avoid structural damage. When towing, always stand clear of a taut line, as any type of line breaking under stress can be extremely dangerous. The preferred line for towing is double-braided nylon, as it has sufficient elasticity to cushion shock loads. Move slowly and cautiously.

ADMIRALTY LAW
The Admiralty law sometimes referred to as the salvage law was founded primarily on English law fundamentals and basically says that a vessel distressed, in danger of flounder, if rendered assistance from a towing company or private agency, can be forced to relinquish a portion of the vessels' worth for the assistance received.

Vessel Operation
KNOTS
Knots are useful in docking, towing and other emergency situations. Learning to tie knots requires practice. As they say “Practice makes perfect”. Some of the knots used in boating are the square, bowline, anchor bend, clove hitch, figure eight and half hitch. There are several periodicals available that explain various knots and how to tie them effectively. An experienced skipper will know the basic nautical knots and will use them when on the water. Take the time to know the basic knots.
Figure 8 Knot
Tied To Cleat

A useful knot to learn for general docking is the figure eight with one end reversed. By turning the free end of the line back under, the knot can be released without disturbing the boat. After some practice one person can secure a vessel easily to a dock or pier in a variety of weather conditions. This knot normally is used to tie the bow and stern. Then the vessel can further be fastened by tying the spring lines in the figure eight knot. Wrap it around the cleat 2 or 3 times.
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. Also, read other literature concerning on the water emergencies. Be alert and prepared!
FIRE
Fire aboard a vessel can spread quickly and can cause tremendous alarm among everyone. Most fires can be prevented by keeping the bilge free from oil and debris. Keep all equipment stowed and maintained in working order. Carry a backup fire extinguisher on board. If something becomes a possible fire hazard, remove that possibility at once.
Never use water on gasoline, oil or electrical fires. When you dump water on an electrical fire a you can be shocked since water conducts electricity.
Follow these instructions if a fire breaks out:
-
Fit everyone aboard with a life jacket. Turn off the ignition.
-
Try to keep the fire downwind. If the fire is to the stern, head the bow toward the wind. If forward, put the stern to the wind.
-
If the engine should catch fire, shut off the fuel supply Usually there is a fuel tank access that you can crimp the fuel feed line.
-
Use a hand fire extinguisher. Make sure to point it at the base of the flames. Use short bursts and sweep the extinguisher side to side. Remember: (A 4 pound extinguisher discharges in 20 seconds)
These actions help prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the boat. You can extinguish fires quickly if you act swiftly. Have a plan of action in motion in case a fire breaks out.
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. Invest your time in a first aid course available at the American Red Cross.
CPR (BASIC LIFE SUPPORT)
If someone is seriously injured have someone call for help while the injured person is being attended.
Check for possible danger signs; loss of breathing, unconsciousness, severe bleeding and heartbeat. If you determine the individual is not breathing or unconscious place the victim on their back on a hard surface and do the following:
-
If unconscious, open the airway. Neck lift, head lift or chin head lift.
-
If not breathing, begin artificial breathing. Pinch the nose. Give 4 quick breaths. If airway is blocked, try back blows, abdominal or chest thrusts and finger probe until airway is open.
-
Check for pulse. Begin artificial circulation. Depress sternum. Fifteen compressions rate 80 per minute. 2 quick breaths. Continue uninterrupted until advanced medical support is available.
Vessel Operation
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 periods of time. If you encounter a possible hypothermia victim call for help on the radio and get the person out of the water.
Symptoms arc:
- Shivering that if condition is advanced may stop.
- Confusion, clumsiness or slurred speech.
- Rigid muscles.
- Semiconscious to unconscious.
Treat hypothermia by the following:
■ Remove wet clothing.
■ Monitor the victim's pulse and breathing.
■ Rapidly apply heat to the body core by using blankets, naked bodies or warm water.
■ Do not give the person any food or drink.
■ Do not warm the arms and legs. Warming of these extremities can be fatal.
Follow up immediately with medical authorities!
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCE BOARD (CARB) LABEL
Your Regal boat may have a star shaped label affixed to the bow port hullside. It is located at the front of the state registration numbers. This label is part of the California Air Resource Board (Carb) SD/I rule. If your boat is operated in the state of California and/or bordering waters, this label MUST remain intact. The label shows that the engine installed as original equipment meets a currently approved California state regulatory emission level. See the example below which shows the current California ultra low 3 star label.

CALIFORNIA PROP 65
Proposition 65 relates to the state of California and is an additional requirement added to their Safe Drinking & Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Prop 65 basically summarized states that: “No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly discharge or release a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity into water or onto land where such chemical passes or probably will pass into any source of drinking water ....” and it goes on to say “no person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose any individual to a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving clear and reasonable warning to such individual .....”
For more information, contact the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at 916-445-6900 or http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html.

WARNING
A wide variety of components used on this vessel contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm.
EXAMPLES INCLUDE:
* Engine and generator exhaust
* Engine and generator fuel, and other liquids such as coolants and oil, especially used motor oil
* Cooking fuels
*Cleaners, paints, substances used for vessel repair
* Waste materials that result from wear of vessel components
* Lead from battery terminals and from other sources such as ballast or fishing sinkers
TO AVOID HARM:
* Keep away from engine, generator, and cooking fuel exhaust fumes
* Wash areas thoroughly with soap & water after handling the substances above
FUEL SPILLAGE
The federal water pollution control act prohibits the discharge of oil or oil waste (such as from the sump bilge pump) into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or the waters of the contiguous zone. Violators are subject to substantial civil fines and criminal sanctions.
A placard is normally found inside the engine hatch area or in the sump warning of overboard discharge of oil or oily waste.
MARPOL TREATY
The USCG now enforces the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships, referred to commonly as the MARPOL TREATY (marine pollution). This international treaty prohibits the overboard dumping of all oil, garbage, ship-generated plastic and chemicals. There is a placard on board your boat that explains the garbage and plastic dumping laws in detail. Normally this placard is found near a waste receptacle in the cabin or cockpit.
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 a environmentally conscious skipper to conserve our waterways.
The National Marine Manufacturer's Association lists their top ten of Eco-Boating Practices as follows:
-
Observe all regulatory agency policies regarding marine toilets.
-
If equipped with a holding tank, use marina pump-out facilities.
-
If used, make sure bottom paints are legal and ecosystem friendly.
-
Use only biodegradable cleaning agents.
-
Dispose of all garbage and liter on shore properly, not on the water.
-
Don't top off fuel tanks. Leave expansion room. Clean up spills.
-
Watch your wake and propeller wash.
-
Make sure your engines are well tuned and maintained.
-
Control your bilge water.
-
When fishing, practice the "catch and release" principle.
Follow these basic practices when on the waterways. Treat the environment in a way that you would like to be treated.

INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
AIR CONDITIONER

The air conditioning information included in this chapter applies only to factory installed equipment. The unit is made by Marine Air Systems and is known as the Vector Compact model with a digital Passport control. The unit output is 18,000 BTU'S (British Thermal Units). The air conditioner replies upon a source of AC power supplied by shorepower or an onboard generator along with a supply of water (salt or fresh). These units feature the ability to provide heat in a reverse cycle mode especially useful in extending the boating season in colder climates. This reverse cycle operation is affected by the temperature of the water. As the water temperature decreases so does its ability to produce heat. It is recommended that the reverse cycle not be used when the water temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
HOW IT WORKS

The air conditioner is self-contained. It is located in the salon just ahead of the AC/DC panel. The cabinet can be accessed by removing several screws under the cabinet top through the front cabinet door. See the illustration.
It is made up of four main components and a refrigerant gas called freon circulating through the system. The BLOWER draws warm air across the fins on the EVAPO-RATOR where the heat from the air is transferred to the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a gas it absorbs the heat from the cabin air.
The COMPRESSOR then compresses the refrigerant gas and pumps it through the outer tube in the CONDENSOR COIL.
The seawater pump located beneath the salon floor circulates cool seawater through the inner tube in the condensor coil; this cools the refrigerant and condenses it into a liquid. The heat from the refrigerant is exchanged to the seawater and discharged overboard. The liquid refrigerant is then passed through the EVAPORATOR and the cycle is repeated.
Removing heat from the cabin lowers its temperature. The cooled air is blown through the ducting and out the supply air grilles.
For reverse cycle heating, the refrigerant flows in the opposite direction through the reversing valve. Heat is transferred from the seawater in the condensor coil to the refrigerant and then to the air blowing through the evaporator into the cabin. As stated on the previous page seawater temperature will directly affect the a/c unit's efficiency. The compact vector model a/c can efficiently cool your boat in water temperatures up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and can provide heat in water temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
VECTOR COMPACT AIR CONDITIONER PARTS DESCRIPTION

Equipment Operation
BEFORE STARTING AIR CONDITIONER

-
To use the air conditioner locate and open the through hull seacock valve that supplies water to the air conditioner pump. The A/C seacock is located beneath the salon starboard aft floor.
-
A strainer is in-
stalled between the seacock and the AC pump. This strainer stops foreign matter from being ingested into the AC pump or air conditioning system. Periodically inspect the strainer and clean as necessary.
- The best way to activate the A/C system is to make sure both shorepower cords are plugged in and both dockside breakers and the transom inlet breakers are energized. Refer to the systems chapter for more information.
An alternative method is to use one shore power cord and simply energize the transfer breaker on the main AC control panel. This sends 120 volts to both banks of the AC. If you employ this method you have 30 total amps availability verses dual 30 amps. You need to monitor the A/C load current meter as you energize various circuits especially using the air conditioner. The above method limits the number of circuits you can energize. The A/C can be used while cruising through the generator. The generator supplies alternating current to operate the air conditioner. As above, once the generator is started, use the transfer switch to distribute current. See the systems chapter for operating the generator.
- Activate the air conditioner breaker at the A/C distribution panel.
NOTICE
AVOID POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT FAILURE. DO NOT TURN THE UNIT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON. ALLOW AT LEAST 30 SECONDS FOR REFRIGERANT PRESSURE EQUALIZATION.

TIPS FOR STARTING THE A/C SYSTEM
-
Always check for a steady flow of water from the overboard discharge. Periodically check the discharge during the units activation. When first starting the air conditioner up there is a lag time between turning on the system and the air conditioner seawater pump being activated.
-
Verify that there is steady airflow out of the supply air grills.
-
Do not block the intake grill. It provides continued air for the A/C system. Clean filter periodically.
-
The air conditioning system is programmed for an automatic operation mode. See the Marine Air owner's manual for changing the mode to heat or cool only.

BATTERIES
Your vessel uses cranking and deep-cycle batteries. The engine cranking batteries are Group 31A (1000 cold cranking ampres) batteries and the deep-cycle (called house battery)) is a group 8D. All batteries are of the wet cell type and do require periodic inspection and maintenance. The electrolyte and terminals need to be checked for looseness and corrosion. See the maintenance section for further detailed information.

CAUTION
AVOID POSSIBLE EYE DAMAGE AND SKIN BURNS! WEAR GOGGLES & RUBBER GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, CLOTHING OR EYES. IN CASE OF CONTACT, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER OR MILK. FOLLOW WITH MILK OF MAGNESIA, BEATEN EGG OR VEGETABLE OIL. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.


Equipment Operation
BATTERY CHARGER

Operation
When power is applied, the charger will enter a “constant current” mode, during which a higher rate of charge is achieved to fully refurbish the batteries. When the batteries are near a full charge, the output current will decrease and the charger will enter a timed absorption mode. After 4 hours in the absorption mode, the output will drop to a float rate to maintain the batteries at a temperature compensated finishing voltage (13.6 VDC @ at 77 degrees Fahrenheit for lead acid batteries).
Overview
Your vessel features a 60 amp automatic battery charger. The battery charger is uses alternating current to function. The charger changes (AC) alternating current to DC. It delivers voltage through the battery isolator which selects the batteries that need charging and then sends regulated voltage through the isolator to the appropriate batteries.
For the battery charger to operate the shore power cords must be installed if at dockside. The generator must be operating if at sea. Locate the battery charger breaker switch on the ship's AC distribution panel. Turn on the breaker to start the charging cycle.
Irregular conditions or loads may cause one or more of the internal fuses to blow. Make sure there is no AC power to the unit before replacing fuses by disconnecting the shore power cords. The battery charge is of the self-limiting type.
BATTERY PARALLEL SWITCH


Once both engines are started the engine alternators will charge the batteries as needed through the battery isolator. As the batteries reach peak charge the battery isolator regulates itself down to a “trickle” charger style output.
Your vessel features a helm mounted battery parallel switch for emergency starting. Both engine cranking batteries are wired to a battery switch, battery parallel solenoid and to the helm push button switch.
For identification purposes the battery parallel solenoid is located in the bilge along the forward engine bulkhead covered by a protective box. See the illustration.
To start an engine with a weak battery simply push the dash push button switch. The switch will automatically start the engine with the weak battery from the other engine's strong battery. Once the engine starts release the push button switch.
Equipment Operation
BATTERY SWITCH PANEL

The battery switch panel is located in the aft section of the cockpit circular seat. The panel consists of 3 battery switches marked port and starboard engine along with the battery marked master which is a “deep cycle” house type battery. This type of battery features heavier plates than standard batteries.
During normal cruising and mooring operations the battery switches should all be in the "on" position. Each battery circuit is protected from the battery switch back to each battery by a 105 amp resettable breaker. Each battery switch features an "ON" and "OFF" selector switch.
When leaving the vessel turn all battery switches to the off position. The automatic bilge pumps will remain energized even though the battery switches are off.
NOTICE
AVOID POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT FAILURE NEVER TURN THE BATTERY SWITCHES TO THE "OFF" POSITION WHEN THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE ENGINE ALTERNATORS.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Carbon Monoxide known as CO is indeed the silent killer. It is a by-product of combustion. CO is invisible, tasteless, odorless and is produced by all internal combustion engines, heating and cooking appliances.
The most common forms of CO on board vessels are the engines, generator and if applicable, propane heating and cooking devices.
Never operate these devices when people are sleeping. A slight amount of CO in the human body over several hours causes headaches, nausea and symptoms close to food poisoning, motion sickness or flu. High concentrations can be fatal within minutes.
The CO detector uses a mini computer to measure and accumulate CO levels. It uses the principle of “time-weighted averaging” the detector monitors CO concentrations, temperature, humidity and time to calculate COHb levels. To explain COHb, our bodies prefer to absorb CO to oxygen and COHb is the absorbed ratio stated in a percent.
If the detector senses high levels of CO the alarm will sound in a few minutes. If lower levels are sensed, the detector will accumulate the data and sound an alarm when the appropriate level is reached. Read and understand the CO owner's manual in the information pouch.
To turn the CO detector system on:
- Notice the CO breaker on the 12 volt main DC panel. It must be turned off in a two-step sequence. This is for safety purposes. The system should be always left on so you must flip back the switch before you are able to then deactivate the breaker.
The CO circuitry works to its best performance when continually activated plus it accords advanced warning when entering an area high in CO.
- When power is applied to the detector, the power indicator (top) will flash on and off, followed by the (red) lower alarm indicator flashing off and on as part of a 8-14 minute warm-up period. The green (top) power indicator will indicate a solid green when the unit has reached correct operating temperature.

CO DETECTOR
- The test cycle should be activated frequently. Simply press the button. When it is released, the (top) power indicator will flash off and the lower indicator light will flash on. Then, the lower indicator will flash off and the upper indicator light will come back on.
The top indicator light being on solid green indicates normal operation. Refer to the CO detectors owner's manual for an explanation of the test cycle indicators.
- When an alarm sounds take action immediately. The danger alarm indicator flashes red and the horn beeps 4 times, pauses and repeats the cycle. This indicates a rate of 10% COHb has been reached.
a. Operate reset/silence button.
b. Call your emergency services (911)
c. Immediately move to fresh air. Do not re-enter the vessel. until emergency personnel have arrived, aired the vessel out and the alarm is in a normal condition.
d. After following steps a-c and your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period call a qualified technician to inspect the vessel. Note that the CO detector will clear when the CO concentration has dropped below 70 ppm.

COFFEE MAKER

OVERVIEW
♦ Pause n' Serve- Your coffee maker features a pause and serve control which allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is busy brewing.
To restart the brewing cycle, return carafe to the warming plate (make sure it is completely under the warming plate).
- Do not remove the carafe for more than 30 seconds as the basket may overflow.
◆ On Light- Lets you know when the unit is on for safe operation.
◆ Snap-Out Basket- Easy access for filling and cleaning.
◆ Power Button- Controls power to the unit. It is a push type switch with a momentary contact for cycling on and off.
◆ 1-Hour Automatic Shut-Off- As a safety feature the coffee maker includes an automatic shut-off that is programmed 1 hour after brewing. To restart, simply push the switch again.
HOW IT WORKS
-
Open the hinged water reservoir cover at the top of the coffee maker..
-
Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of cold water only.
-
Empty the carafe into the water reservoir. Close the hinged top. Place the carafe with the lid in place on the warming plate.
-
Some water is absorbed by the filter and coffee grounds with the ending brewed amount slightly less than the starting amount. Fill the carafe slightly fuller so you end up with the desired brewed amount.
HINTS- GREAT TASTING COFFEE ON BOARD
-
The coffee maker need to be clean. Clean it with household vinegar periodically to remove residue and mineral deposits.
-
Alwalys use fresh, cold water in the unit.
-
Keep opened coffee tightly sealed in the refrigerator to promote fresh coffee.
-
Never reuse coffee grounds since it affects the flavor.
-
Oil droplets may appear on the brewing parts and carafe which normally indicates the unit needs cleaning.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Read all instructions carefully. Refer to the coffee maker owner's manual for detailed information.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- Do not place coffee maker, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Always unplug the unit when not in use and during any cleaning.
- Do not move the unit from its location in the vessel.
- Always use cold water only in the coffee maker.
- Never try to remove hot brewing hardware since scalding could occur.
- Do not attempt to make any repairs to the unit. Call an authorized service center.
CARAFE DO'S AND DO NOTS
◆ Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.
♦ Do not place hot carafe on or near a flammable surface.
♦ Do not use the carafe on a range top or in a microwave oven.
♦ Do not heat carafe when empty.
- Do discard carafe if handle is loose or if the glass is chipped or cracked.
- Do not clean carafe with steel wool pads, scouring powders, or other abrasive materials.
Do follow the cleaning hints in the maintenance chapter.
♦ Do use the lid on the carafe when carrying liquids.

Equipment Operation
DC DISTRIBUTION PANEL

The DC (12 volt) distribution panel is located at the vessel's forward engine bulkhead. It serves as an overcurrent protection device for various DC (direct current) components and wiring runs.
It protects the instrumentation wiring through the 80 amp dash main breaker. Various stereo components are fused to the 80 amp cabin main breaker along with the main DC distribution panel. Electronic equipment such as radar, plotter and VHF are protected by the electronics 60 amp breaker. The windlass breaker protects the windlass motor installed at the forward deck.
Note: Should a breaker "pop" find the root cause of the malfunction and repair it before resetting the breaker.
Note: The DC distribution panel inside may house various optional equipment fuses that do not have a breaker for in the panel itself. See the maintenance section for the component fuses found here.

OVERVIEW
The galvanic isolator connects to your electric/bonding (Green wire) between shore ground and the vessel's grounding system. The purpose of the galvanic isolator is to allow the bonding system to be isolated electrically from the dock and other vessels at low voltages (below 1.4 volts) but to keep it connected to the shore power ground at high voltage potentials. This is so the vessel's zincs protect only the vessel they are on. You may have heard the term "zinc saver" a term often used to describe a galvanic isolator
There is a monitor that connects to your vessel's electrical/bonding system for about 20 seconds out of a day. Each time the vessel is connected to AC shore power or the monitor is activated by the push to test button, or every 3 hours after that the monitor performs a series of tests.
- Polarity test
- Ground wire continuity and galvanic isolator integrity test.
The test results are visible on the display panel which is mounted inside the AC/DC distribution panel.
Equipment Operation
The monitor and the galvanic isolator are located behind the AC/DC panels. Never try to access these parts with the shore power cords connected. Remove the shore power cords from the receptacles.
OPERATION
NOTICE
IN THE EVENT OF AN INDICATION OF REVERSE POLARITY, AN ISOLATOR FAILURE, OR GROUND WIRE FAILURE, DISCONNECT THE AC SHORE POWER CORD IMMEDIATELY!
Automatic Operation
Be sure the main AC panel breaker is in the “off” position. Attach both ends of the vessel shore power cord, one end to the dockside receptacle and the other to the shore power inlet receptacle.
Turn on the dockside breaker. The presence of AC on the inside side of the main breaker panel will activate the monitor. After the monitor cycles through its self-test it will display a condition of polarity, the shore ground wire, and condition of the galvanic isolator. The test sequence takes about 20 seconds. The monitor will repeat this test automatically every 3 hours.
A “FAIL” indication on the remote display of either the ground wire or the galvanic isolator is an indication of an ungrounded bonding system and should be considered a very dangerous situation. Because of the possibility of high AC voltages on the bonding system it is highly recommended that the vessel’s shore power cord be disconnected until a professional can determine and repair the fault.
Manual Operation
To operate the monitor manually press the "TEST" button on the display panel, wait for the test to complete (about 5 seconds) and read the displayed test results.
What The Tests Results Mean
The display consists of 6 LED's, three green and three red. The three green LED's should be lit to show proper polarity, good ground wire continuity, and a functioning galvanic isolator.
A reverse polarity red LED indicates that the line and neutral wires are reversed. Unless you have had recent electrical work done on your shore power system, this is typically a fault of the dockside receptacle. This needs to be corrected as it enhances the chance of accidentally having 120 volts AC on the vessel's grounding system.
Note: Because of how the ground wire testing is done, a reverse polarity hook-up will also show a “FAIL” to the ground wire. By rectifying the reverse polarity, the ground wire problem will most likely not be an issue.
Ground Wire Red
Indicates that the ground wire (green wire) is not connected to the shore correctly. The fault can be caused by the green wire being open or disconnected, by a bad connection at the galvanic isolator, shore power cord plug, dockside plug or even the metal tip of the plug itself not making good contact. It can also be caused by the ground wire not being connected to the neutral back on the dockside receptacle.
Galvanic Isolator Red
Indicates a failure of the galvanic isolator. The galvanic isolator can fail as a short or an open circuit. A short will no longer isolate the boat in a low DC manner and will increase erosion of your zincs. An open circuit eliminates AC ground protection to your bonding system which could be life threatening. If the galvanic isolator shows a “FAIL” it should be replaced immediately.
LIGHTING- CABIN
Your vessel features various styles of lighting such as ceiling, hanging locker, reading and flourescent types. Each lighting fixture requires specific bulb types and replacement procedures. Read and understand the following warning.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY! HALOGEN & XENON LIGHT BULBS DEVELOP EXTREMELY HOT TEMPERATURES. NEVER TRY TO REMOVE A HOT LIGHT BULB SINCE IT COULD CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WAIT FOR THE BULB TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE IT.
Note: The bulbs listed in the following pages can be ordered through a Regal dealer or may be available at speciality lighting or box stores.

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat equally. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir form the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwaveable energy. To prevent over cooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
Sheilding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy especially with roast type foods.
Standing
Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overdcooking the outer areas. Stir all liquids when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

MONITOR-WATER/WASTE

To read either the fresh water or waste water monitor panel the breaker on the main DC panel must be activated.
The fresh water monitor displays the amount of potable water in the system. There are sensors located in the tank itself that send a signal to the display panel when activated. Press the top portion of the toggle switch and read the gauge display.
The waste portion of the display shows the amount of waste water in the holding tank. There are sensors located in the tank itself that send a signal to the display panel when activated. Press the bottom portion of the toggle switch for determine the tank level via the gauge display.
This portion of the system needs to be monitored periodically to prevent the system from being over full which could cause equipment damage and/or a possible leak in the vessel.
If the waste system is determined to be full it can be emptied by connecting a marina pump-out hose to the waste fitting located on the deck. The pump out device will actually suck out all the waste much like a vacuum cleaner operates. This is most frequently and best way to eliminate the vessel's weight.
An alternative method which can be used in International waters only is to pump the waste overboard using a seacock. Notice the key switch portion of the monitor. If your vessel is equipped with an overboard discharge pump (macerator) you can use it to grind up the waste and send it through the hull bottom. Make sure the waste seacock is open and you are legal to pump overboard. Turn the macerator breaker on and then energize the monitor panel key switch.
Be sure to turn the seacock off and secure it with a tie wrap after the pump-out cycle.
PORTLIGHTS

Portlights provide cabin cross ventilation. To open turn the latches port or starboard until the portlight cover clears. Lift the black handle to control the amount of fresh air. To close shut the portlight cover and turn the latches.A screen is provided to protect against insects.
Equipment Operation
RANGE

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your ceramic cook top range read the following instructions and safety information.
-
Do not attempt to repair the range yourself. Contact a local service center or return the unit to the factory. If the unit needs to be removed make sure the breaker is turned off on the A/C distribution panel before the range is removed.
-
Do not use water to extinguish a grease fire. Smother fire with dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Store an extinguisher where it can be quickly reached in an emergency.
-
Use only dry potholders. A wet potholder on a hot surface can produce burns from steam. Never use towels as a potholder.
4.Do not use the cook top to heat the cabin.
-
Never touch the burners, or surrounding areas. These areas could cause serious burns.
-
Do not wear loose fitting garments while using the cook top.
-
Do not store items of interest to children either above or near the cook top, children climbing on the cook top to reach items could be seriously injured.
- Do not leave the cook top unattended with the heat setting on high heat. Boil over may create smoke or a fire. The utensil handle should be turned inward to prevent accidental spillage. The utensil handle should not extend over adjacent heating elements.
- Pot retention devices such as a railing should be used to secure the utensil to the cook top. They are available through your dealer or directly from Kenyon.
- Do not use the cook top if the glass is broken.
- Never let electrical cords cross the stove surface.
! WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY! NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN NEAR THE COOK TOP UNATTENDED!
! WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY! OBSERVE ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHILE USING THE COOK TOP.
OVERVIEW
Your Kenyon cook top features an easy-to-use surface with 6" burners that stays clean and looks new with minimum effort. A series of electric heating coils are suspended beneath the ceramic glass. The design of the burners directs the heat up through the glass providing efficient cooking.
The glass surrounding the burners remains much cooler even while cooking on high settings.
There are thermal limiters on each burner to keep the element from overheating. The limiters will reduce the wattage to the element if a pot boils dry, if no utensil is uesd at all or if an improper utensil is used.
The burner controls are designed to provide infinitely variable control of the heat output by alternately switching on and off the electric element at different cycles.
Excellent control of very small heat input is available at low dial settings, while still being able to deliver full output at high heat settings.
GENERAL OPERATION
Cooking Utensils
Your existing utensils will probably work fine on your ceramic glass cook top. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your utensils used on the cook top.
The utensils should be slightly concave or designed with a flat bottom. Although glass and other types of cookware can be used, metal cookware with thick bottoms will generally conduct the best heat.
Use utensils of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about as wide as the cooking zone on which it is being used- not much wider or narrower. This will provide maximum heating efficiency and give you the shortest boiling times.
Make sure that both the cook top panel and the bottom of your utensil are clean and dry before using. Doing so will help prevent scratches and stains.
Knobs And Indicator Lights

Your cooking area controls are called infinite by name. This type of control has an unlimited selection of heat settings. The control settings begin at low and increase heat output as you turn the knob clockwise.
There are several lights which provide an indication of burner operation and hot surfaces (safety light). The lights are located next to the control knobs. When the control is in the “on” position a red light is lit indicating which burner is energized.
For your safety there is a
“hot” safety light. When lit, this indicates that some part of the cooking surface is too hot to touch. Do not place articles other than cooking utensils on the cooking surface while this “hot” indicator
Refer to the maintenance section for cleaning information.
Do not use a sponge or dish towel to wipe off the cook top. This may leave a film of detergent or other debris that could cause discoloration the next time the cook top is heated.
Do not let anything that melts such as plastics, aluminum foil, or sugar come in contact with your cook top surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto the surface immediately move it to a cool area of the cook top with a razor blade scraper, and then remove it from the cook top.
Equipment Operation
REFRIGERATOR
OVERVIEW
Your refrigerator is designed to operate in the tough marine environment. It can withstand a heel angle up to 30 degrees for a short time which makes it very adaptable for marine use. A few tips regarding the refrigerator:
- The refrigerator runs on DC current. Turn on the breaker at the ship's AC/DC service panel before activating the refrigerator.
- Unnecessary opening of the refrigerator door will increase power consumption.
- Keep the inside of the unit clean and dry.
- Remove any water that may collect on the shelf under the freezer compartment.
- When leaving the vessel for extended periods of time s turn the breaker off at the ship's service panel. Remove any food from the unit. Prop the door open slightly before leaving the vessel. This helps air out the fridge.
- Note: The unit will keep food cold 5-6 hours without any DC power providing the food is chilled already.
- It is important that the fridge compressor/condensor is well ventilated and that cooler air can enter from the bottom and warm air can exit the top of the unit. Never block any of the ventilation areas.

TEMPERATURE SETTING
Your refrigerator is equipped with a manually controlled infinitely-variable thermostat.
Turn the thermostat clockwise to lower the temperature and counterclockwise to raise the temperature and to activate the on-off switch. A slight spring resistance is noticeable at the on-off switch.

DEFROSTING
The refrigerator requires defrosting when the frost layer is around 1/8".
To defrost do the following:
- Turn the thermostat off.
- Store the food and beverages from the refrigerator in a iced down cooler.
- Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the accumulated ice. Let the fridge deice under normal cabin temperatures.
- Restart the fridge after the unit is completely defrosted. Be sure to clean and dry the unit.
- Empty the drip tray below the freezer compartment as often as needed in the defrosting cycle.
SHOWER SUMP PUMP
The gray water system is made up of any sink, shower, or in some cases equipment run-off water. The system flows through the shower sump pump, then to a manifold collector located in the mid cabin area and finally overboard via a thru-hull fitting. The different hoses routed to and from the pump are indicated below.


Manifold Collector
The grey water manifold collector exits all used water exiting from the shower sump pump which includes several sources. The automatic float switch pumps grey water to the manilold. It is located behind the mid cabin port bulkhead.
Normally it would not require any special service unless there was blockage somewhere in the system or a hose leak developed at the manifold. All hoses exit the vessel outside through the port aft thru-hull fitting.

TELEVISION SYSTEM OVERVIEW
ANTENNAS

The antenna switch includes two buttons which choose the proper antenna for dockside and at sea operation.
- At dockside, most often the shore antenna switch should be activated. For this switch to work the TV cord needs to be plugged in the vessel's transom electrical inlet and run to the dockside connection. With the shore antenna pressed the televisions use the local marina signal.

- At sea, the ship's antenna switch should be activated which in turn uses a signal from the saucer shaped antenna mounted on the radar arch. In addition to the switch being activated, turn on the TV antenna breaker
at the main DC control panel. Also, this operation works well in temporary moorings or at a marina without complete hook-ups.
- To deactivate either antenna switches, simply depress the switch all the way and release.
TELEVISION BASICS
All televisions sets on board your vessel are powered by the same TV breaker located on the 12 volt main DC distribution panel. Each television can be operated through the DVD player and each set can view the same DVD and hear the audio or operate independently.
The television flat screen monitor located in the salon (if equipped) is connected to various audio and video connections for DVD enhancement. The unit has been pre-programmed at the factory. It features a non-glare screen and remote control.
If your vessel features the E-display plotter the information on the plotter can also be viewed on the salon television flat screen monitor.
This manual will point out the basic operation of the LCD (flat screen) salon television monitor. For detailed data on any of the sets on board refer to the manufacturer's manual located in the owner's packet.
Equipment Operation
TYPICAL MONITOR CONTROL PANEL
The following information applies to all LCD flat screen television monitors. Refer to the antenna switch information on the opposite page for the proper connection depending where the vessel is moored.
The vessel DVD player has been pre-wired at the factory through the monitor and therefore is ready to view and play using the flat screen monitor. Also, a VCR, video camcorder, digital camera and home video games can be used with the system. Refer to the illustrations on the following pages and/or the television owner's manual for further in-depth information.
To operate the television(s) follow these recommendations:
- For docked vessels, first make sure the shore power locker reverse polarity indicator is not lighted and the AC shore power inlet breaker is energized.
- Check for line voltage at the ship's AC panel. We recommend turning on the converter to keep the batteries charged while the vessel is docked.
- Check the antenna switch for the shore position.
- At the 12 volt DC distribution panel check for line voltage. Flip the television switch/breaker to the "on" position. The monitor is now is ready to be activated by the remote control.
- For vessels at sea, use steps 3 and 4 but activate the antenna ship's position.

LG TELEVISION-INVERTER
Since the television flat screen monitors are powered at 120 volts AC an inverter is used to change DC to AC voltage.
Depending on which television options were purchased by the customer there may be 3 different inverters used in selected locations.

For the salon television an inverter is found at the ceiling behind the head light muff. To access the inverter the muff ceiling light trim rings and light bulbs must be removed to find the muff screws.
The forward stateroom television inverter is located under the ceiling light muff at the front of the head ceiling. The screws can be accessed by removing the light trim rings and light bulbs.
The mid cabin television inverter is located in the portside storage locker for easy accessibility.
There is a 15 amp fuse installed in the male socket connector to protect the wiring. Normally there is no service required of the inverter unless there is a lightning equipment strike.
There is a low-battery warning inside the inverter that can sound a beep indicating low DC battery voltage. If the ship's batteries continue to discharge the inverter will automatically turn itself off.

INVERTER PARTS DESCRIPTION

Closed Captions
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.
Using Closed Captions

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. Its possible to caption a live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching language skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
Caption Tips
- Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
- Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting From CC1 to CC4, you can choose which signal you view. CC1 is usually the signal with the captions, while Another mode might show demonstration or programming information.
-
Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
-
Poor reception conditions are encountered:

- IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

- GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.

- SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
- An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.
- Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
- The signal from the antenna is weak.
- The program wasn't captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

Vacuum Toilet- The Vacuflush® toilet operates in a different way from other marine toilets. The system uses around 16 ounces per flush plus a simple vacuum to complete each flush which is a substantial water savings over other systems. The toilet is connected to a pressurized fresh water supply. Fresh water is the key to an odor-free bathroom compartment. Selected other systems use intake water from wherever the vessel is sitting which may carry an odor. The Vacuflush® units are equipped with a special vacuum breaker which prevents the possible contamination of the potable water system.
Vacuum Tank- This tank stores the vacuum energy used in the system. When a switch senses a drop in the vacuum it automatically energizes the pump to upgrade the vacuum. This process in on-going between flushes.
Vacuum Pump- This unique bellows style pump is designed to handle solids without a problem. It uses two duckbill valves on each side of the pump chamber to prevent backfkow of waste and vacuum.
Vacuum Generator- This unit houses the vacuum pump and tank in one unit. It is compact over other units.
Holding Tank- Unit features polyethylene composition 50% thicker than other holding tanks. A deodorant additive is required to keep the holding tank odor-free.
In-Line Vent Filter- The vent filter is located above the holding tank. It helps keep the boat's waste vent system sanitized. Heavier-than-air malodors accumulate in the holding tank. The filter uses special charged filter media to remove the odors before they become offensive. Replace the filter each year. Contact your Regal dealer.
Fresh Water and Waste Monitor- Your vessel uses a fresh water and waste monitor panel to display the levels in each system. See the information earlier in this chapter.
Overboard Discharge Pump- An optional overboard discharge pump vacates waste through the deck waste fitting or a seacock (only used beyond the 3 mile limit in the U.S).
The Vacuflush® head uses a combination of vacuum suction and water flow from the fresh water tank to clear the head of waste. Before using the Vacuflush system turn the head circuit breaker to the “on” position at the main DC control panel.
Make sure that there is always a small amount of water left in the toilet head bowl. This acts as a trap and will reduce unwanted odors.
Before leaving the boat for an extended period, flush the head for at least 10 seconds. This ensures that waste has cleared the sanitation transfer hose and has entered the holding tank.
Waste left within the transfer hose tends to dry out and harden. This could restrict the internal size of the hose and hamper future operation. The system components including the hose are formulated for the transfer of sanitary waste only. Do not allow the following items
in the system: Strong acid or caustics such as drain openers, petroleum solvents or fuels, alcohol based products such as antifreeze and pine oil products along with sanitary napkins and baby diapers.
System vacuum is monitored by a switch located on the outside of the vacuum generator's tank. When the switch senses a vacuum drop, it automatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum back to the operating level. This is normally a two minute process. In a properly operating system, the stored vacuum will "leak" down between flushes, causing the vacuum pump to run for a short period. This is normal. The pump should not run for more than once every (3) hours after the last flush.
To operate the Vacuflush® head:
-
Activate the head breaker on the main DC panel.
-
Activate the fresh water system breaker on the main DC panel since the fresh water tank is the main water source for the Vacuflush® system.
-
Lift the toilet lever until the desired water level is reached. Generally the system requires more water for solid liquid waste. See figure 1.



-
To flush the toilet, press the flush lever in one swift motion down to the floor until contents in the bowl disappear. A distinct popping noise is normal when flushing action begins and the vacuum seal is broken. Hold the lever down for at least 3 seconds. If flush lever is accidentally released before waste clears the bowl, do not try to flush toilet again until vacuum pump stops running. A small amount of water should remain in the bowl after flushing. See figure 2.
-
Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other non-dissolving items in the toilet. Do not attempt to flush facial tissue, wet strength tissue, paper towels, or excessive quantities of toilet paper down the toilet. These types of items do not dissolve and cause plugging of the system. See figure 3.
-
Make sure all passengers are aware of the toilet operation.
-
If using holding tank deodorant, use the approved ones for the system.
-
See the maintenance section for cleaning and routine inspection items.
Equipment Operation
EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
ARCH/RADAR


The masthead light hinges up from the radar arch. Simply tighten the knob to hod in the proper position. Make sure the light is as vertical as possible. When used as part of the navigation lights, the front is lighted. When anchoring, both front and rear positions are lighted for 360 degree visibil-

ity.
The radar arch offers a environment to mount the boat's antennas for the best reception. The round saucer looking antenna is the television antenna. The other antenna is for the GPS/Plotter and is mounted on the starboard radar arch. The arch contains speakers and arch lights controlled by the switch panel located at
the transom door.
The 3760 features one bilge pump and float switch in the aft bilge and a second set located in the forward bilge. They are operated through the dash switches. There are separate switches marked forward and aft bilge pumps.
In the “off” position both switches are connected into the automatic float switch. In this “auto” position if the boat takes on water, the bilge pumps will activate and pump excess water overboard. The center switch area lights up when activated.
Periodically check the grates for debris and spray the units down with water. Make sure a steady stream of water exits the through hull fitting indicating the hose from the bilge pump itself is debris free.
Equipment Operation
CANVAS

Following is an overview of the canvas system. The canvas parts consist of the bimini top, side curtains, aft curtain, windscreen plus bimini and aft connector canvas along with bows and hardware.
The canvas requires a set installation procedure which will make the job easier and faster to accomplish. Sometimes a second person can help in certain parts of the process. Once the skipper has gained experience he will find some shortcuts to the entire process to ease installation. Normal installation requires no special tools.
Never fold canvas parts with the clear vinyl windows such as windscreens, side or aft curtains since they could be damaged. This is especially true in colder climates. Roll all canvas parts and make sure the vinyl windows are dry to prevent debris forming on the window material. Also, store in a clean, dry environment. A little bit of silicone spray on the zippers and vasoline on any snaps periodically helps canvas parts go together easier.
Bimini Top/Windscreen Connector
The bimini top normally sets at an angle position when not in use. To set up the bimini top:
- Unzip the top boot and store it for future use.
- Pull the bimini top forward to unfold the entire top.
-
Install the bimini turnbuckles to top of arch.
-
Push in the forward inner bow support locking pin and rest it on the top of the outer bow for initial adjustment. Do the same with the other side. See drawing B.
-
Connect the port and starboard lower forward bows to the clevis connectors and lock with the clevis pin. See drawing C.
-
Leave the 2 adjustment straps disconnected at this time.
-
Notice the arch bow. Secure it to the arch turndowns on both port and starboard sides. See drawing A.
-
Pull the bimini canvas to stern. Find the zipper on the bimini connector canvas and proceed to zip the bimini top to the arch connector canvas pulling the top as required to assist in installing it.
-
Next, install the bimini windscreen by zipping it up to the bimini top. To ease snapping the windscreen to the deck snaps it may be easier by unzipping the flaps to ease snap installation and you may have to stand on a step. Make sure the cabin door is shut to prevent falling. Rezip the flaps shut.
-
To take the slack out of the bimini top at this time notice the two forward canvas bows. There are two hole adjusters in the outside bow. Put the bow in the bottom hole for tightening up the canvas by pulling down on the bows. Do the same with the other forward bow for the final bimini top adjustment. Connect the adjustment straps and fine tune.
Side Curtains
The side curtains may be marked with colored tags. Red is port and green is starboard. First, zip the side curtain to the bimini top. Next, unzip the flaps to access the deck snaps easier. Rezip the flaps shut.



Aft Curtain
Zip the aft curtain to the aft connector canvas. Then snap it completely around the stern deck. It may be easier to accomplish the above task with the flap zipped out in order to reach all the snaps. Finally, rezip the flap shut.

CARPET-COCKPIT
The cockpit carpet features an Aqua Trac tread that keeps it in place. The carpet does not show dirt easy and quickly cleans up. It is stitched with a protective edging to prevent any unraveling.
When not in use roll the carpet and store in a clean, dry place. Do not fold the carpet as the creases may deform the appearance and it may take awhile to lay flat.
COMPASS
The compass is set by the manufacturer to ensure its accuracy. If in doubt it can be zeroed in by using a non-magnetic screwdriver and turning the compensator screws as recommended. A compass can be checked while underway for variance and deviation by comparing your heading with a nautical chart. Compass error is part of the calculation. Refer to the compass manual in the owner's information packet for compensating details.


ELECTRONICS-GENERAL
The 3760 features several electronic components matched to your vessel as for compatibility. These include the RAY 215 VHF, ST60 depth sounder and C80 GPS/plotter.
As a part of continually upgrading our product line Regal reserves the right to change specifications, components and vendors at any time.
This manual serves as an introduction to the on board electronics components. The general information included will enable the captain to bring his equipment "up and running". Manuals for each of the electronic components should be referenced for specific detailed operations.
ELECTRONICS-ST60 DEPTH INSTRUMENT
The ST60 depth instrument is installed as standard equipment on the 3760. It features accurate depth information, in either feet, meters, or fathoms, on a high quality liquid crystal display (LCD). It is constructed in a weather-proofed case.
The basic information is provided in this owner's manual. along with a quick-start guide.
The ST60 is protected by a 5 amp breaker located on the panel beneath the helm area.
Never bottom paint the Airmar transducer since it will not work properly. It is located in the bilge just behind the main forward engine bulkhead.

The ST60 should be already calibrated upon vessel delivery. You may want to change certain modes to your individual needs such as the shallow water alarm, etc. If the instrument should need recalibration, see chapter 4 of the ST60 owner's manual.
Note: The ST60 depth sounder on this vessel is a stand alone instrument and is not integrated through the GPS/Plotter. It is connected only to its relevant transducer. It does not display information from, or provide information to, any other instruments.

Equipment Operation
ST60 Operation Basics
Switching on and off
All the time that power is applied to the instrument, you can use the depth button to switch the instrument off and on as follows.
- To switch the instrument off, hold down the depth button for approximately 5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep the depth button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument.
- To switch the instrument back on, hold down the depth button for approximately 1 second.
When the power supply is switched off, none of the instrument buttons (including depth) has any effect.
Notes: (1) Each time power to the instrument is switched on, the instrument is initially in the on condition. You do not need to use the depth button to switch the instrument on.
(2) When the instrument is on, the operation of the depth button will perform other operating functions, as described below.
Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60+ Depth instrument. The flow charts show the sequence of button presses and displays for the various operating tasks. All button presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
Depth information
When power is switched on, the depth button gives you access to the current depth, minimum depth and maximum depth readings. Refer to the Depth information flow diagram (below) to access the information you want.
You can reset the MIN and MAX values by pressing the reset button for 3 seconds.
Operating with fishfinder products
Depth information is normally obtained from the Depth transducer, fitted as part of the ST60+ Depth system. However, when the ST60+ Depth instrument is connected to a SeaTalk system to which a compatible fishfinder is also connected, the depth information is provided by the fishfinder all the time the fishfinder is switched on.
Current depth
The current depth is shown in either FEET, FATHOMS or METRES. You can select the units you want during User calibration.
The current depth screen also displays depth-trend indicator arrows to show whether the depth is increasing or decreasing. A rising sea-bed is indicated by n and a lowering sea-bed by v.
If there is no depth signal from the transducer for more than 30 seconds, the last known depth is displayed and LAST flashes at the top of the screen. If depth information is not received from the transducer or from SeaTalk, then dashes are displayed.

Minimum & maximum depth
The minimum and maximum depth values are reset at power up. You can also reset each one manually to the current depth, by holding in the reset button for 3 seconds.
The screens show the maximum/minimum depth since the last reset, but time out to the current depth screen if no user action occurs for 8 seconds.
Alarms
An alarm condition occurs if:
• The depth is less than the SHALLOW or SHALLOW anchor level.
• The depth is more than the DEEP anchor level.
• The DEEP level value is crossed (when the seabed rising or falling).
![graph TD A["Shallow alarm"] --> B["3.0"] B --> C["alarm"] C --> D["Deep alarm"] D --> E["9.0"] E --> F["alarm"] F --> G["10.0"] G --> H["Shallow anchor alarm"] H --> I["5.0"] I --> J["deep anchor alarm"] J --> K["Shallow 3.0"] K --> L["You can change the shallow alarm only if the shallow alarm lock…](/content/2026/05/945040/images/d97941ac89d6e9345aa61b441398d7c84eca39ca55680ca557bac3491aa27178.jpg)
An alarm condition is indicated by an audible beep and a flashing alarm symbol (▲) on the display. The display will also show the relevant caption, either SHALLOW or DEEP, and for anchor alarms an anchor symbol (▲).
When the instrument is operating as a master, you can check the alarm levels and if necessary set them up (see Depth alarms flow chart). To do this, use the alarm button to select the required alarm level, then:
• To enable or disable the alarm, hold in the reset button for 1 second. If an alarm is disabled, the associated screen shows an OFF legend.
- To change the value of the alarm level, press the offset and reset buttons together to enter adjust mode, then use these buttons individually to set the required value.
Depth offsets
WARNING: Use the correct depth offset
The use of the correct depth offset is critical to the safety of the vessel. If incorrect offset values are applied, this could result in misleading depth information being displayed with a consequent risk of running aground. Take great care to ensure you set the correct value, as described in Chapter 4, Calibration.
Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed. However, offsets to the actual distances measured can be applied during calibration (see Chapter 4 Calibration), so that the displayed depth reading represents either the depth from the keel or the depth from the waterline (W/L).
To see the offsets applied on your vessel, press the offset button. If the instrument is operating as a master, the display will show the size of the offset (either positive or negative) and the appropriate legend:
- When the offset is a positive value, the legend W/L is displayed.
- When the offset is a negative value, the legend KEEL is displayed.
- When the offset is zero, the legend OFFSET is displayed. With zero offset applied, the displayed depth reading is measured from the transducer.
Display settings
Illumination
When the instrument is first powered up, the display illumination is set to its lowest (courtesy) level, to facilitate initial access to the buttons. To adjust the level of illumination:
- Hold down the depth button for approximately one second, to enter the illumination-adjust mode.
- There are four preset illumination levels. Momentarily press the depth button to cycle through these levels until you reach the level you want.
- Press any other button to leave the illumination-adjust mode.
Note: The display will time out to normal operation 7 seconds after the last button press.
Contrast
To adjust the display contrast:
- Enter the illumination-adjust mode as described above.
- Hold down the depth button for a further two seconds approximately, to enter the contrast-adjust mode.
- There are four preset contrast settings. Momentarily press the depth button to cycle through these settings until you achieve optimum display quality.
- Press any other button to leave the contrast-adjust mode.
Note: The display will time out to normal operation 7 seconds after the last button press.

How do I change the chart orientation?
The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.
If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:
- Head Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading upwards. As heading changes, boat symbol remains fixed
- Course Up (C-Up) - chart picture stabilized, current course upwards. Boat symbol moves as heading changes.

How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?
How your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your boat i.e.

If desired, you can change the motion mode to:
● True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen.
- Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat and the target waypoint. This option is not available when radar/charet synchronization is ON.

Basic Navigation Working with Waypoints
Card No. 8

What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor position, your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on CDI windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list (1000 waypoints maximum). Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.

What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost.
NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.

Card No. 13
| VRM/EBL | TARGET TRACKING | GAIN | ENHANCE ECHOES | PRESENTATION |
What is AIS?
AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast 'realtime' information between vessels and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots.
In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver.

On radar windows:

How is AIS data displayed?
The AIS system displays other AIS equipped vessels in the surrounding area as targets overlaid on a chart or radar window. Up to 100 targets are displayed and are scaled according to the size of the vessel. A vector indicates the direction of travel of the vessel. As the vessel's status changes, the symbol for the target will change accordingly.
You can view detailed AIS data, safety critical target information, alarm messages (ALR) and safety related messages (SRM). You can also set up a safe zone.

Equipment Operation
Where am I?
Monitoring a course....
Card No. 14
How do I monitor my course?....
- Your course is shown on the chart application whilst motion mode is active.
- Using COG and heading vectors (Press DATA - CHART VECTORS - COG/HDG VECTORS).
- Use the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). With your display receiving accurate heading and position information, you can monitor your course and accurately steer to a target waypoint.
What does the CDI show me?....
The CDI gives a graphical representation of your boat's course. This 'rolling road' format represents a width of sea equal to the Cross Track Error (XTE) limits that you have specified in the Setup menu. As you travel towards the target waypoint, the checkered pattern moves down the screen to simulate movement at a rate proportional to your boat's speed.

What do the steering instructions tell me?
On course

- Boat on center line.
- Zero XTE
Off course

- Boat off center line.
- Correction arrow(s) indicate direction to steer to maintain course to target waypoint.
● The greater the XTE, the more arrows.

| TRANSDUCER SETTINGS | ZOOM | BOTTOM LOCK | A-SCOPE | PRESENTATION |
What's under the boat?
The fishfinder application, when connected to a suitable Digital Sounder Module (DSM) and transducer, will help you to see fish, bottom structure and underwater obstructions. The image scrolls from right to left at an automatically selected range and frequency to provide a record of the echoes seen. You can mark with a waypoint any positions of interest that you may wish to return to. These waypoints are added to the waypoint list and can be used by other applications.
What can I see on the screen?

How do I interpret the bottom?

A thin line indicates a hard bottom (sand)

A wide line indicates a soft bottom (mud or seaweed cover)

Peaks and troughs, indicate an uneven or rocky bottom or a wreck
Dark layers indicate strong signals; lighter layers weaker signals.
What influences target display?
The shape and size of echoes indicating targets, is influenced by a combination of:
- Boat speed - flatter at slower speeds
● Target depth - larger near the surface
● Transducer frequency - broader at lower frequencies
● Target size - larger targets return larger echoes

If WX/INT is pressed for 2 seconds while INT is illuminated, INT will disappear and US channels are selected.
3.3.7 Transmitting
Press the Push-To-Talk key (PTT) and speak into the microphone using a clear normal voice. If the current channel is a Weather Channel or a TX prohibited channel, an alarm will sound when PTT is pressed indicating such a transmission is not permitted.
As per FCC rules, if PTT is pressed and held enabling the transmitter continuously for 5 minutes, the RAY215 will automatically disable the transmitter. Once PTT is released, the transmitter will be re-enabled.
3.3.8 Selecting a Weather Channel
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) broadcasts continuous weather reports and severe weather alerts, as needed. The RAY215 is programmed to receive 10 NOAA weather channels and sound an alarm if a weather alert is received.
The Weather Channels consist of Channel 0 through Channel 9. Press the WX/INT key once to enter the Weather mode and use either the Channel Select (CH) knob or Channel UP/DOWN Trackpad on the microphone to select the desired weather channel. While the Weather Channel is active, the WX indicator appears in the LCD display.
Note: Weather operation is available only in US frequency mode and can only be heard in the US and Canada.
3.3.9 Priority Channel
Either channel 16 or 9 can be programmed as the Priority Channel. To switch to the currently programmed Priority Channel at any time, press the 16/9 key once.
To change the Priority Channel, press the 16/9 key once to switch to the Priority Channel, then press and hold the 16/9 key until a tone is heard. When the Priority Channel is active, a "P" appears in the small character display.
3.3.10 Desensitized Reception (Local Mode)
You can set the RAY215 to reduce the receiving sensitivity in high traffic areas to decrease unwanted reception. This is also known as local mode.
To select this mode, press and release the D/L key. While the desensitize function (local mode) is active, the DESENS indicator appears in the LCD display. To return to full receiver sensitivity (distant mode), again press and release the D/L key.
3.3.11 Channel Memory
The RAY215 can store any US, Canadian, or International Channel. The stored channels are the ones scanned in the Memory Scan mode.
To store a channel in memory, select the desired channel with the CH knob and press and hold the SCAN/MEM key for 2 seconds. A tone sounds and the MEM indicator is displayed. (Weather channels can not be stored into memory).
To clear a channel from memory, select the memory channel and press and hold the SCAN/MEM key for 2 seconds. The MEM indicator extinguishes, indicating that channel is no longer stored in memory.
3.3.12 Resetting Factory Defaults
You can reset many radio settings back to their factory defaults:
- Erase any channels stored in memory for the Memory Scan function
- Erase any MMSI numbers stored in the base station for Individual Ship's Call
- Turn OFF the backlight on the base station and Full Function Handset
- Return to US channels, if INT or CAN are selected
- Return the Weather Channel to channel 0
- Return the Priority channel to channel 16
This will NOT erase the Own Ship's MMSI ID number for your vessel nor will it erase the PHNBOOK entries made with the Full Function Handset.
To perform the memory reset:
- Turn the radio OFF.
- Press and hold the SCAN/MEM key.
- While continuing to hold the SCAN/MEM key, turn the radio ON. The LCD remains blank for 2 seconds, CL appears momentarily, then the unit switches to channel 16.
3.3.13 Scan Modes
The RAY215 is equipped with two types of scan options: All Scan and Memory Scan. How these options are initiated is dependent upon whether there are any channels stored in memory. Channel 70 is also monitored during Scan mode.
All Scan Mode
If no channels are stored in memory when the SCAN/MEM key is pressed, the radio begins scanning all channels (except weather channels) as long as no signal is received. If a signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel as long as it is present. If the signal is lost for five seconds, the radio resumes scanning. SCAN is displayed on the LCD while the Scan mode is active.
If the SCAN/MEM key is pressed again while SCAN is flashing, the All Scan Standby state is suspended and the unit returns to the normal state. To cancel the scan mode, press the SCAN/MEM key once.
Memory Scan Mode
If one or more channels are stored in memory when the SCAN/MEM key is pressed, SCAN and MEM begin to flash simultaneously on the LCD. If no other key is pressed within three seconds, SCAN and MEM stop flashing and the radio begins scanning all channels currently stored in memory. As with All Scan, if a signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel until the signal is lost for five seconds, then the radio resumes scanning. To cancel memory scan, press and release SCAN/MEM.
If there are channels stored in memory but All Scan operation is desired, press SCAN/MEM again within the 3 second period while the SCAN and MEM indicators are flashing.
3.3.14 Monitor Mode
The RAY215 is equipped with 2 types of monitor operations: Dual Watch and Tri-Watch.
Dual Watch Mode
Dual Watch monitors the selected working channel and the programmed Priority Channel. To initiate Dual Watch, first select the working channel to be monitored, then press the MON/1/25 key once. The selected working channel and the Priority channel (16 or 9) are monitored for traffic.
If a signal is received on the working or Priority channel, the radio monitors that channel as long as a signal is present. Dual Watch will resume if the signal is lost for 3 seconds. To exit the Dual Watch mode, press the MON/1/25 key to revert to the last used working channel or the 16/9 key to revert to the programmed Priority channel.
Tri-Watch Mode
Tri-Watch monitors the selected working channel, the programmed Priority Channel, and the last used Weather Channel for the Weather Alert Tone. To initiate Tri-Watch, initiate the Dual Watch mode and press the WX/INT key. The WX indicator illuminates on the LCD to indicate the Weather Channel is also being monitored.
Operation is the same as Dual Watch except that if a Weather Alert Tone is received, the radio simultaneously sounds an alarm tone, WX flashes, and the NOAA Weather Alert is monitored.
To exit the Tri-Watch mode, press the MON/1/25 key to switch to the last used working channel or the 16/9 key to switch to the programmed Priority channel. To revert to Dual Watch mode, press the WX/INT key.
3.3.15 LCD Backlight Function
Pressing this key twice starts Dimmer mode, which adjusts the brightness of LCD's backlight. Each successive press of the DIM key switches the brightness from Off, to Low, to Medium, to High, then back to Off.
After the key has not been pressed for 5 consecutive seconds, the currently selected brightness level is stored in memory.
Equipment Operation
3.3.16 NMEA Operation
The RAY215 can receive valid position and time information, which are transmitted during a DSC Distress call. This data can be communicated via NMEA 0183 from a GPS, fishfinder, radar, or any device that outputs GPS sentences. If the radio does not detect the positional data, it provides different alerts urging you to find and correct the fault. The optional Full Function Handset enables you to manually input this data using the L/L ENT function, as described in Section 4.5.3.2.
If a GPS device is not connected via NMEA, the radio emits a 5-second-long staccato alert tone and flashes the NMEA indicator 2 minutes after power up. This occurs every time the unit is turned on. The alarm is required by safety regulations and cannot be disabled.
Operation at Power Up
At power up, the radio monitors the NMEA line for 1 minute. If a signal is detected on NMEA, the radio determines whether the data is valid. If valid, the data is input, the NMEA indicator is displayed on handsets, and the radio enters normal operation mode.
If no GPS signal is detected on NMEA after the 1 minute monitoring period, a 5-second-long staccato alert tone is emitted and the NMEA indicator flashes. All the position fields are set to 9's and the time and date fields are set to 8's. The message NO GPS appears in the NAVSTAT screen, although no positional data is displayed.
If at a later time valid data is received on NMEA, the data is input, the NMEA indicator is displayed solid (no longer flashing), and the radio enters normal operation mode.
Operation When the Signal is Lost or Becomes Invalid
If positional data that was previously detected becomes invalid or is no longer detected, the radio monitors the NMEA line for 1 minute for it to be restored.
If a signal is restored on the NMEA line and the radio determines the data is valid, the data is input, the NMEA indicator remains illuminated, and the radio re-enters normal operation mode.
However, if no signal is detected, the NMEA indicator flashes and a 5-second-long staccato alert tone is emitted. The last received positional data is retained in memory and can be viewed in the NAVSTAT screen.
The message NO GPS appears in NAVSTAT in the position where the type of device used to be. The NMEA indicator continues to flash until valid positional data is received. If valid positional data (from the same source) is later restored, the NMEA indicator is again displayed solid.
Operation When No Signal Detected for 4 Hours
If no valid positional data is received or input manually within 4 hours of the previous alert, the NMEA indicator continues to flash and the staccato alert tone is again emitted. This pattern is repeated every 4 hours if no positional data has been detected. If no manual input was made during the previous 23.5 hours, all the position fields are set to 9's and the time and date fields are set to 8's.
3.3.17 Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) protocol is a globally applied system used to send and receive digital Distress calls as well as Individual and All Ships calls on channel 70, the dedicated DSC channel for Marine VHF. For a Distress call transmission, your RAY215 takes the position and time information from the input NMEA data along with your Maritime Mobile Station Identifier (MMSI) and converts it into a digital "packet". When transmitted, this digital information lets other ships and shore stations know where you are and that you are in a Distress situation.
Communications in DSC mode include the following:
- Transmitting/Receiving an Individual Call
- Transmitting/Receiving an All Ships Call
- Transmitting/Receiving a Distress Call (without designating type)
- Receiving a Distress Relay Call (without designating type)
Individual, All Ships and Group DSC calls come in three varieties: ROUTINE for normal calls, SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger. To enable DSC mode, press and release the DSC/PRI and D/L/ I.C. keys simultaneously. The DSC indicator illuminates and a tone sounds. Since the Distress Call (enabled by pressing and holding the Distress Key for 4 consecutive seconds) automatically selects the DSC mode, it is not necessary to press the DSC/PRI and D/L/ I.C. to make a distress call.
When a DSC call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC mode if you are currently on a selected working channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode. You will not receive a DSC call if the radio is transmitting or receiving a non-DSC call.
Note: You must program the ship's MMSI number before the radio can enter the DSC mode. See Section 3.3.17.1 below.
3.3.17.1 MMSI Number Setup
You must enter your Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number in the RAY215 before the DSC system will be operational. You can request an MMSI number from the FCC when you apply for a radio license.
If your vessel does not require a license, you may obtain an MMSI by contacting either BoatUS (www.boatus.com) or MariTEL (www.maritelusa.com).
Once you have received your MMSI number, enter it into the radio as follows:
- Press and hold the DSC/PRI and D/L / I.C. keys simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter DSC mode. A tone sounds, the DSC indicator appears, "0" is displayed in the large character display, and "1" is displayed in the small character display.
Note: If an MMSI number is already in memory, the MMSI entry scrolls across the display, one digit at a time. - Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the first digit of your MMS1 number appears in the large character display. (Channel UP/DOWN keys on the microphone are disabled during this process).
- Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept. The small character display now shows a "2", designating the second digit in your MMSI number.
- Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the second digit of your MMSI number appears in the large channel display.
- Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept.
- Enter all 9 digits of the MMSI number in the same way.
Once the 9th digit has been entered and accepted, the RAY215 plays back the 9 digits (one digit at a time) just entered for proper entry verification.
Note: Ensure the MMSI number entered is correct with this verification playback. Once the number is accepted as outlined in the next step, it cannot be changed except by Raymarine factory representatives.
- If the number is verified as correct, press and hold the DSC/PRI key for 2 seconds and a tone sounds. Your MMSI number has now been stored in memory.
If the number is incorrect, press the DSC/PRI key once and release. The radio will revert to the beginning of the entry process to start over again. This step can be repeated as many times as required until the number is entered correctly.

3.3.17.2 Individual Ship's Call
An Individual Ship's Call is a DSC call made to a specific ship identified by its MMSI number. There are three types: ROUTINE for normal calls, SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger.
The RAY215 can receive all three types of Individual calls but can only transmit ROUTINE Individual calls. As with any DSC operation, the call is made on channel 70.
Equipment Operation
Sending an Individual Ship's Call
The RAY215 can only send a Routine Individual Call. The MMSI number of the ship to which the Individual Call is to be sent can be input manually or selected from a phonebook listing in memory. This section includes instructions for using both methods and for adding numbers to the phonebook.
Using a manually input MMSI number
- Press and release the DSC/PRI and D/L / I.C. keys simultaneously to place the unit in DSC mode. "70" appears in the large channel display, the DSC indicator illuminates, and "in" appears in the small channel display to designate individual call.
- Press and release the DSC/PRI key. The DSC indicator appears, "0" is displayed in the large character display, and "1" is displayed in the small character display.
- Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the first digit of your MMSI number appears in the large character display. (Channel UP/DOWN keys on the microphone are disabled during this process).
- Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept. The small character display now shows a "2", designating the second digit in the other ship's MMSI number.
- Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the second digit of the other ship's MMSI number appears in the large channel display.
- Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept.
- Enter all 9 digits of the MMSI number in the same way.
- Once the 9th digit has been entered and accepted, the RAY215 plays back the 9 digits just entered for proper entry verification.
If the number is incorrect, press the DSC/PRI key once and release. The radio will revert to the beginning of the entry process to start over again. This step can be repeated as many times as required until the number is entered correctly. - When the MMSI number is verified as correct, press and hold the DSC/PRI key for 2 seconds to verify.
Note: The operation is cancelled if the 16/9 key is pressed or if no keys are pressed for 60 seconds during any part of this process.

The All Ships Call is used to send out a message to all ships in range that you need assistance but the situation is not serious enough for a Distress Call. This call should only be used if hailing for assistance on channel 9 or 16 fails. There are three types of All Ships Calls: ROUTINE for normal calls, SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger. The RAY215 can transmit and receive all three types of these calls. As with any DSC operation, the call is made on channel 70. Then, after the All Ships Call is sent or received, the radio automatically selects channel 16.
Sending an All Ships Call
- Press and release the DSC/PRI and D/L / I.C. keys simultaneously to enter the DSC mode.
- Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob on the front panel to select the desired type of call. The following appears in the small channel display:
"Ar" for ROUTINE All Ships Call "AS" for SAFETY All Ships Call "AU" for URGENCY All Ships Call
- Press and release the DSC/PRI key and TX begins to flash.
- Press the PTT key to transmit the All Ships Call. The radio switches to Channel 16.
- Any station responding to your call converses on Channel 16.

Equipment Operation
Receiving an All Ships Call
If you are currently on a selected working channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode, the radio automatically enters DSC mode when an All Ships Call is received. The type of call is displayed in the small channel display and an alarm is sounded.
Press the DSC/PRI key once and the radio automatically selects channel 16. There is no acknowledge required for an All Ships Call. If you do not wish to accept the call, press the 16/9 key to exit the DSC mode.

3.3.17.4 Group Call
The Group Call feature sends transmissions that are only received by radios that share a common Group MMSI number.
The RAY215 requires an optional Full Function Handset to program in the Group MMSI number. For this reason, a RAY215 equipped with only a Fist Microphone cannot send or receive Group Calls.
If you have used an optional Full Function Handset to program in the Group MMS1 number, you may use a RAY215 equipped with a Fist Microphone to receive Group Calls, even if the Full Function Handset is no longer attached. However, you cannot send Group Calls without the Full Function Handset.
If you are currently on a selected working channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode when a Group Call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC mode, sounds an alarm, and displays the type of call as follows:
"Gr" for ROUTINE Group Call
"GS" for SAFETY Group Call
"GU" for URGENCY Group Call
As with any DSC operation, the call is made on channel 70. If a received signal is confirmed to be addressed to the group that your station belongs to, the radio switches to DSC receiving mode and does not send back an acknowledgment. If the received signal is not addressed to the group that your station belongs to, the unit returns to the mode before receiving the Group Call.
After receiving a Group Call, press and release the DSC key to accept the call. The unit switches to channel 16 and extinguishes the DSC indicator, indicating the unit has exited the DSC mode.
The large channel display indicates the working channel and the small channel display is extinguished. If you do not wish to acknowledge the call, press the 16/9 key to exit the DSC mode.

3.3.17.5 Distress Call
A Distress Call allows you to send out a digital "packet" of data at high power that includes your position, time, and MMSI number. All ships and stations outfitted with the correct type of DSC equipment will be able to pinpoint your position and either relay the information or respond directly. Using the Distress key overrides all other functions.
Sending a Distress Call
- On the back of the microphone, lift the door marked DISTRESS.
- Press and hold the red Distress key for 5 seconds. After 1 second, the LCD displays a countdown from four to zero, beeping every second.
- When the countdown has completed, the radio enters the DSC mode, sounds a loud alarm, and sends the digital information at high power. Once transmitted, the radio monitors channel 70 for a Distress acknowledge but also monitors channel 16 for emergency traffic.
Note: When a Distress Call is sent, the unit emits a VERY LOUD distress alarm tone. To mute the alarm without interrupting the Distress Call, press the DSC/PRI key on the RAY215 base station. The radio will remain in DSC mode.
- The Distress Call is automatically re-transmitted every 3.5 to 4 minutes as long as you remain in DSC mode. The radio continues to transmit until either an acknowledge is received or the DSC mode is manually exited by pressing the 16/9 key. The ACK indicator flashes, indicating the radio is monitoring for an acknowledge.
- If a receiving station has Distress acknowledge capability and sends an acknowledge to you, the DSC tone sounds and the ACK indicator appears solid for 1 second. Next, the radio exits the DSC mode and switches to channel 16 for voice communications.

Receiving a Distress Call
When a DSC Distress call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC mode if you are currently on a selected working channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode. You will not receive a DSC call if the radio is transmitting or receiving a non-DSC call.
- When receiving a Distress Call signal, the unit sounds an alarm tone and enters the DSC mode. A "d" flashes in the small channel display for Distress.
- Press the DSC/PRI key. The radio accepts the call, silences the alarm, and switches to channel 16.
Note: When a Distress Call is received, the unit emits a VERY LOUD distress alarm tone. Pressing the DSC/PRI key on the base station mutes this alarm but does NOT cancel the Distress Call.
- The RAY215 does not have the ability to acknowledge or relay a DSC Distress Call so once the Distress Call is received, you should attempt to contact the vessel in distress on channel 16 and attempt to render assistance.

3.3.17.6 Distress Relay Call
Sometimes a ship's distress call can be relayed from another ship or a shore station. The RAY215 can only receive a Relayed Distress call; it cannot initiate one.
If the radio is active on a working channel, in the Monitor mode or in the Scan mode when a Distress Relay Call is received, the unit automatically enters DSC mode and emits an alarm tone. The DSC indicator illuminates, 70 is indicated on the large channel display, and "dr" flashes on the small channel display.
Press and release DSC/PRI. The unit switches to channel 16. "16" appears as the working channel on the large channel display while the small channel display is extinguished. The DSC indicator is also extinguished, indicating the unit has exited the DSC mode.
Note: When a Distress Call is received, the unit emits a VERY LOUD distress alarm tone. Pressing the DSC/PRI key on the base station mutes this alarm but does NOT cancel the Distress Call.
The alert tone continues to sound until DSC/PRI is pressed to accept the call or 16/9 is pressed to exit the DSC mode.

Miscellaneous Operation Information
Operator License
An Operator License is not required to operate a VHF Marine Radio within US territorial waters. However, a license is required to operate the radio if you dock in a foreign port (including Canada and Mexico) or leave a foreign port to dock in a U.S. port. You can request a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit from the FCC by filing Form 753.
Remember:
- Maintain a radio watch on Channel 16. Channel 16 is used for distress and safety purposes only.
• VHF Channel 70 is used only for Digital Selective Calling (DSC). It can not be used for general-purpose calling. - Your VHF transceiver has a high low power switch. Use low power whenever feasible. Unnecessary high-power operations can interfere with other important communications.
• Always use your radio call sign at the beginning and end of each transmission. - Be sure only qualified persons operate your radio. You are responsible for control of your radio. Know the rules.
- Limit calls to other vessels to 30 seconds. If you receive no reply, wait 2 minutes; then try again. Keep communications brief and avoid chit-chat.
- Never transmit false distress messages, and never use profanity on the air.
Other Reminders:
- You can obtain a station license and call sign by completing FCC Form 605 and mailing it with the required fee (if required) to the FCC.
- You need a radio operator license to operate a VHF Marine Radio only if you plan to dock in a foreign port or leave a foreign port to dock in a U.S. port.
- Your radio license is not transferable. If you sell your boat, request the FCC to cancel your station license.
- If you replace your radio, you do not need to change your license unless the new radio operates on another frequency band. If you install equipment to operate on another frequency band, apply for modification of your license.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER- AUTOMATIC

OVERVIEW
The Fireboy automatic fire extinguishing system is located in the bilge at the forward engine bulkhead. See the illustration. The system uses a environmentally friendly agent FE-241 which has been approved by the EPA to replace the old Halon agent. This system is formulated only for use in the engine space or bilge of your vessel. FE-241 is to be used with gasoline fuel systems only since the agent will not “stall” diesel engines. This could cause a fire to reflash.
OPERATION-AUTOMATIC
Fireboy systems are not nor are they intended to be explosion suppression devices. Boat owner's still need to take normal precautions for checking gasoline fumes and using blowers.
Read the information in chapter 4 regarding the dash installed portion of the fire extinguisher system. When the system actuation starts you may hear a loud sound simiar to that of small arms fire, followed by a rushing air sound. The system will show actuation whenever the ignition key is ON and the indicator light is OFF. The actual actuation time when a fire occurs is dependent on the severity of the fire.
When the automatic fire extinguisher activates IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTILATION (BLOWER), ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Allow the agent to “soak” the compartment for a period of time and wait for hot metals and any fuels to cool before inspecting for the fire cause. Premature opening of the engine compartment allows an in-rushing of oxygen and could result in a flash-back. When the engine compartment is opened have approved portable fire extinguishers ready to use.
OPERATION-MANUAL
If a fire has started in the engine compartment where the Fireboy is located, DO NOT WAIT FOR AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION. Release the system manually. Close any opened hatches leading to the engine compartment, shut down all forced ventilation devices, engines, generators and electrical components. Remove the safety pin from the "Fire" T-handle, and pull firmly and release. A loud "rushing" or air" sound will be heard. Complete discharge will take several seconds. DO NOT OPEN THE COMPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY! Keep the compartment closed for a period of time sufficient to allow the agent to soak all areas of the protected space. This allows hot metals to cool.
Equipment Operation
Premature opening of the compartment could cause a reflash. When opening the engine compartment for inspection have hand held portable extinguishers ready.
Inspect the pressure gauge and system before and after each outing. Refer to the maintenance chapter for caring for your fire extinguisher system.
The illustration opposite shows the actuator not discharged at the top and one which has been discharged at the bottom.



HATCH-ENGINE
One of the unique features of your vessel is the engine hatch. It opens with a hydraulic actuator from the rear which makes periodic bilge and equipment inspections much easier.
Also, there is a diamond plated aluminum stairway that leads into the compartment. For additional room the step unit can be set aside.
The engine compartment can be reached by pressing the hatch switch at the helm. At the starboard rear cockpit there is a second switch. See the illustration below.


You can activate the lights in the engine room (sometimes called the bilge), by activating the bilge light switch. All switches on the auxiliary panel are protected by breakers mounted on the lower switch panel.
There is a day hatch for checking engine oil, etc. If the batteries are “dead” the main hatch can be opened by first accessing the bilge through the auxiliary hatch. Pull the “C” clip. Then pull the hatch pin until it releases from the retainer. Push the hatch up. Secure to prevent the hatch from falling backward. See the illustration.
Equipment Operation
HEATER-HOT WATER
The hot water heater features an eleven gallon capacity and has recirculating ability to keep water warm during cruising. This is accomplished by a set of hoses connected between the hot water tank and the circulating engine water pump. Engine coolant runs through a heat exchanger which keeps the tank water warm when the engines are running.
To initially fill the hot water heater, ensure the boat's fresh water tank is full. When the tank is full water will be ejected from the deck vent. At the DC side of the main ship's AC/DC panel, turn the fresh water pump to the "on" position. Make sure the water heater is full of water by opening a hot water faucet until a steady stream flows out. With the generator running or the shore power connected, switch on the hot water heater at the AC side of the ship's service panel. The heating element will now begin to heat the hot water tank.
Should the hot water heater reset button need resetting, turn off the hot water breaker at the AC side of the main control panel. Then remove the panel cover to expose the reset button. Press the red reset button. After refastening the access panel, flip on the hot water breaker to continue the systems operation.
Should the need arise there is a drain valve located in the rear of the heater. Make sure the water is cold before attempting to open the valve. The valve runs through the shower sump pump and then overboard. Never try to adjust the thermostat or open the drain valve before turning off the AC breaker. Contact a marine professional for further information.
! CAUTION
TO AVOID POSSIBLE BODILY INJURY DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT TRY TO OPEN UP THE HOT WATER TANK COMPONENTS WHILE THE AC POWER IS ACTIVATED. TURN HOT WATER BREAKER OFF AT THE MAIN AC PANEL.



HIGH WATER ALARM

The high-water alarm warns the skipper of a possible emergency in the bilge area. There is an automatic float switch installed in the center bilge. If the water rises over a predetermined level the switch sends a signal to the alarm at the helm which will sound.
If the alarm sounds stop the vessel and turn off the engines. Investigate the problem to determine the cause. Possible causes are:
- Leaking engine and stern drive hoses.
- Leaking around underwater gear (V-drive).
- Leaking mufflers or exhaust hoses.
- Hole in hull.
- Leaking fresh water or waste tank.

Equipment Operation
MARKERS-FOR SLINGS
Sling markers are located on the forward and aft deck near the rub rail. These markers provide a safe location to locate straps to lift the boat. This location is even more critical with V-drive boats because of the driveshafts. Not using the sling marker locations could cause damage to the boat and or underwater gear.
As a precaution, make sure they tie a line between both straps as they lift the vessel to provide extra protection against the straps moving forward or backward.

PUMP-FRESH WATER
Your vessel features a variable speed fresh water pressure pump. It is important not to operate the pump unless there is water in the fresh water tank. The pump is controlled by a breaker on the main DC control panel. Energizing the switch allows the pump to build the water pressure in the distribution lines to 35 psi's.
When the pump reaches a level of 35 psi the pump should automatically shut off. If the system drops below a certain pressure then the variable speed pump will restart. If the pump cycles on and off with no water being used, a leak in the water system is likely. See the maintenance chapter for filter and other routine inspections.

Equipment Operation
SHOWER-TRANSOM

A shower is located in the cockpit on the starboard side near the transom door. The showerhead features a flexible extended hose with hot and cold water. Like residential plumbing, the red knob denotes hot and blue knob is cold. When using this feature balance the hot and cold knobs to achieve a safe operating temperature before using the showerhead for rinsing purposes.
SEAT-AFT BENCH

The aft bench seat is fully collapsible into the aft deck. To set up the seat do the following:
-
Lift up on the seat backrest with a brisk motion to free the backrest ball from the deck socket retainer. See illustration A.
-
Flip up the backrest to expose the seat framework and legs.
-
Pull each leg up toward the seat outside until they seat in the open position. Ensure they are fully extended. See illustration B.& C.
-
Pull the framework toward the bow and the seat bottom will pivot into place. Recheck the legs for a full extension.
-
To break down the seat grasp the seat bottom in the middle and lift it with one hand while pulling the seat backrest up. This will allow the seat to pivot back into the deck.
-
Push each leg inward until they lay flat.
-
Push the seat backrest to the aft with a brisk motion to secure the ball into the socket which holds the seat in place against the deck. See illustration D.



Equipment Operation
SEAT- HELM ADJUSTMENT

The double-wide helm seat features a leaning bolster that is great for docking and cruising. By flipping the seat cushion up more room is provided for standing while cruising. For docking sitting on the bolster seat provides additional bow visibility.
Fore and aft movement is controlled by a bar under the seat front. Pull the bar toward the center of the boat and move the seat fore or aft according to the direction desired. Release the adjuster and it will lock in the closest detent.
SPOTLIGHT

The optional "5" spotlight/floodlight uses a high-powered, dual focus sealed beam bulb. With an output of 72,000 candlepower, the unit can illuminate objects up to 1/4 mile away. Notwithstanding, the 30,000 candlepower spotlight is perfect for docking or mooring.
The unit rotates up to 350 degrees and as a vertical arc of 70 degrees and features an easy to use "joystick" style remote control. The spotlight uses a 12 volt operating system and is constructed of stainless steel or chromed brass for years of carefree service.

The spotlight control panel uses a 2 way switch to control the type of light output. To control the direction a 4 position joystick style switch is used.
The 2 way switch in the center position is "off". In the "up" position the light output is a spotlight. In the "down" position the light output is a floodlight.
To move the light upward press and hold the joystick "up". To move the light downward press and hold the joystick "down".
To move the light counterclockwise press and hold the joystick to port until the desired directional movement is achieved.
To move the light clockwise press and hold the joystick to starboard until the desired directional movement is achieved.
When trailering the boat, turn the lens so it faces the stern of the boat to help prevent a broken lens due to unidentified highway debris.
Equipment Operation
SUNPAD/CHAISE LOUNGE
The sunpad is a feature that should be used only when the boat is stopped since passengers must not be on the deck of the vessel while moving to avoid falling overboard.
To use the chaise lounge portion of the sunpad, pull up on the framework from a side position. Then pull the chaise lounge adjuster to stern which will lock it in an angled position. See the illustration. Make sure the cushion is completely snapped down to prevent it from coming loose and blowing off the deck.


SWIM PLATFORM
WARNING! MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF SWIM PLATFORM 750 POUNDS 453 KG
The extended swim platform is used with the ladder for people to enter and exit the water. Never dive from the platform. Make sure you do not exceed the platform weight capacity label found inside
the ladder cover or in the owner's packet.
Periodically inspect all swim platform fasteners found under the platform.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! DO NOT OPERATE THE VESSEL WITH PEOPLE ON TOP OR HOLDING ON TO THE SWIM PLATFORM STRUCTURE OR HARDWARE.
SWIM LADDER
When using the swim ladder, open the hatch and slide the ladder out to the end of the travel. Then flip the ladder over and let down gently. Make sure you keep your hands and fingers clear of any moving ladder parts especially the hinged top. Close the hatch cover at this point. Insist that only one person use the ladder at a time and that people do not use the any part of the outdrive to climb on the swim platform or ladder. Bodily injury could occur from falling or slipping into the water or propeller blades.

WARNING
TO AVOID BODILY INJURY TURN THE ENGINES AND GENERATOR OFF AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEYS WHILE PEOPLE ARE SWIMMING NEAR THE VESSEL, USING THE SWIM PLATFORM OR LADDER.

Equipment Operation
TABLE-COCKPIT


To set up the cockpit table follow these steps:
-
Open the engine compartment. Lift the table from its designated storage area just forward of the starboard engine. The table if desired for day cruising can be stored under the circular seat.
-
Lift the forward most circular seat cushion to access the table pedestal base.
-
Turn the T-handle counterclockwise to release the pedestal base. See illustration A.
-
There is a threaded plate in the cockpit floor at the center of the circular seat where the cockpit table will be secured. See illustration B.
-
Place the pedestal base over the threaded floor plate and rotate the T-handle clockwise until the unit is tight. See illustration C.

-
The table leg is located under the circular seat. Place the table leg into the table receiver which is located on the bottom of the table. See illustration D.
-
Turn the table receiver knob until it is tight against the leg.
-
Insert the table and leg into the pedestal base. Check for tightness. See illustration D.
-
Push the adjuster rod which moves the table fore and aft for proper spacing.

Cockpit Table-Underside

Equipment Operation
WASH DOWN-FRESH WATER

The fresh water wash down is located on the forward deck at the forward port storage locker.
It consists of a cold water faucet. When the vessel is hooked up through the dockside water inlet the fresh water wash down operates using city water. Away from the mooring the vessel fresh water tank is its source.
To use connect a hose and nozzle to the faucet and turn the faucet handle. This feature is especially valuable for washing off salt spray or debris from the deck surface along with brightworks such as railings and deck components.
WATER INLET-DOCKSIDE

The dockside water inlet is located on the transom. It allows a dockside hose to be connected to the inlet valve hose bib. With the hose connected a valve inside the water inlet bypasses the boat's fresh water tank saving the on board water for cruising needs.
There is a regulator inside the water inlet that permits water pressures up to 35 psi's to enter the boat.
This eliminates excessive water pressure from bursting water lines and causing leaks in the boat's water system.
WINDLASS
WINDLASS-SAFETY WARNINGS
◆ Ensure that limbs, fingers, hair and clothing are kept clear of the windlass and anchor during operation.
◆ Check to see that there are no swimmers or divers nearby before dropping the anchor.
◆ Remove the handle from the gipsy when operating the windlass from the foot controls or helm switch power.
◆ Always turn the windlass power supply to the “off” position when not in use.
◆ While at anchor, the load on the chain/rope must be transferred to a cleat.
◆ Do not use a windlass as a holding device for towing.
◆ Never use a windlass to lift a person, boat, etc.
◆ Check to make sure the permit switch is locked when the windlass is not in use.
◆ Remove the anchor safety lanyard before powering up the windlass.
◆ Fasten the anchor safety lanyard immediately after the anchor is positioned at the bow.
◆ Do not attempt to pull a load greater than the rated load of the windlass.
◆ Always use the vessel's engines to aid anchor recovery.
♦ Refer the the windlass manufacturer's owner manual for more detailed operating and maintenance information.
Equipment Operation
WINDLASS OPERATION
A Lewmar® Concept 1 series windlass features a chain, line, and anchor. There are dual operating foot controls on the forward deck. These foot controls operate the anchor up or down by pressing the appropriate foot switch.. The deck foot controls work independently of the helm switch. See the illustration for location.
The helm switch is located at the starboard switch panel. It can be identified by its red lock-out button. Note that the lock-out button in the "off" position prevents the windlass from accidentally letting the anchor out. The lock-out switch must be activated in order to permit usage of the windlass helm switch. In the normal switch position the lock-out switch is in the "off" position. To deactivate the lock-out feature of this switch first press the red button down. At the same time with another finger press the top section of the lock-out switch until the switch snaps to the "on" position.

The windlass switch to the right of the lock-out switch is now ready for operation. There is a foot control shut off switch located in the starboard bow locker. When this switch is in the "off" position both deck foot controls along with the helm windlass switch can not be used.
NOTICE
THE ANCHOR SAFETY LANYARD MUST BE RELEASED FOR THE ANCHOR TO BE OPERATED THROUGH THE WINDLASS CONTROL. RECONNECT ANCHOR LANYARD AFTER RETRIEVING ANCHOR.
Keep all body parts and loose clothing clear of the chain and gypsy to avoid personal injury. The windlass should not be the only means of releasing the anchor. Never use the windlass under power with the emergency handle inserted into the clutch nut or gypsy cap.
To let out the anchor make sure the gypsy is tight (insert the handle in the gipsy hole and turn clockwise; gypsy cover will tighten up) and the safety lanyard is released from the anchor chain. Use the down foot control or the helm switch to let the anchor out while backing down slightly in reverse.
We recommend that the vessel's engines are running and are used in reverse slightly to break the anchor loose instead of the windlass. Once loose, press the up foot control switch or use the helm switch to retrieve the anchor. As the anchor approaches the boat slow the retrieving process down so the bow is not damaged by the rising anchor. Maintain sufficient chain tension to control the vessel and prevent the bow from swinging. Be sure you use the engines to first break the anchor free from the bottom. Watch the anchor as it approaches the bow to avoid damage.
To let out the anchor with the emergency handle, insert the handle in the gypsy. Unlock the gypsy just enough so the anchor will begin to let itself out.
To retrieve the anchor with the emergency handle turn off the cut-out switch in the forward locker. Tighten the gypsy by inserting the handle into the square hole. Crank the handle in a clockwise direction to bring the anchor up. Some resistance will be felt because you are turning the motor as well as retrieving the anchor.
Before maintenance is performed, remove the chain from the gypsy and rope from the drum. Periodically spray down the outer casting of the anchor windlass. Use only chain and spare parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
A 90 amp breaker located at the DC distribution panel protects the windlass motor. The windlass circuit is protected by a 3 amp in-line fuse located at the deck relay near the bow. When replacing this fuse be sure the fuse is of the slow blow type.
Equipment Operation
WINDSHIELD-CENTER LATCH
WIPER-WINDSHIELD

The center windshield must be latched while the vessel is in motion. To latch the center windshield, turn the two locks to a full horizontal position. When the boat is at mooring open the center windshield and let it rest on the magnet which secures the windshield.

The pantographic wiper holds the blade against the tempered windshield glass for improved windshield wiping. Do not operate the wiper with a dry windshield.
Blades can be ordered through your Regal dealer or a marine supply center.
The wiper motor is accessed by removing the inside hatch deck ring and the screws under the lights at the center headline panel.

Fuel Tank Selector Valves
The fuel tank selector valves are found on the port engine bulkhead on stern drive models or at the transom area with V-drive boats. The system controls the flow of fuel from both fuel tanks.
When one tank is close to empty, you need to change to the other tank to balance the fuel levels. Failure do to this could cause the engines to injest air through the lines causing a lean fuel condition.
Set the valves to the desired fuel flow by turning them in the proper direction. You can feel the valves seat in the detented position. When leaving the vessel, turn off both fuel selector valves.

Engine Fuel Selector Valves
Generator Fuel Valve
The generator valve functions like the fuel selector valve. Monitor the fuel gauge so both fuel tanks stay fairly even when using the generator. When one fuel tank is quite a bit lower than the other fuel tank, just change the fuel selector valve. When leaving the vessel, turn off the generator fuel control valve.

BOTTOM PAINT
As a factory option two coats of “Trinidad” bottom paint are applied to your vessel. This Pettit Paint Company product provides top-of-the-line antifouling protection. It contains the highest percentage of cuprous oxide to aggressively combat even the worst tropical conditions. This product will help reduce annual hull maintenance. Trinidad’s hard epoxy base produces the most durable finish for long lasting performance. If your vessel is left in the water the paint provides effective year round service.
Periodically check the bottom of the boat for growth. The vendor recommends scrubing the bottom with a soft brush to remove anything from the antifouling surface. This scrubbing is particularly important with boats that are idle for extended periods.
Note: When touching up the bottom with Trinidad epoxy paint wait at least 3 days before relaunching the vessel. Always leave at least 1 1/2" between any metal objects and the bottom paint to help prevent electrolysis. See the illustration.
NOTICE
CONTACT YOUR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR THEIR POLICY REGARDING PAINTING STERN DRIVES.
REGAL DOES NOT USE BOTTOM PAINT ON STERN DRIVE UNITS.

CABLEMASTER SYSTEM
The optional Glendinning cablemaster system on the 3760 is designed to eliminate the paying out and coiling up of your shore power cable. Just flip a switch or use the remote control to let cable out or in. There is a storage container for the automatic coiling of the 30 amp cable. used on your vessel. See the illustration for a full description of cablemaster parts:


Overview
The cablemaster system on your 3760 consists of two main components; the hause pipe and power unit. See the illustration.
The chromed hause pipe is designed to accommodate 30 or 50 amp cable through the power plug cover. The unit will pull in or let out up to 75' of coiled cable quickly. Within the hause pipe there is a neoprene gasket which helps prevent the entrance of water and cleans the cord as it is retracted in the boat.
When the cable is retracted completely, the plug cover actuates the in-limit switch which is mounted on the face of the gasket plate inside the hause pipe.
The drive motor, reduction gears, guide roller assembly and the relay comprise the power unit. A clamp holds the hause pipe in place. The main cable of the unit travels freely which allows the cable to be manually payed in or out.
The out-switch is located in the guide roller assembly. The nylon safety collar, which is installed around the shore power cable, activates the out-limit switch. This collar also serves as a mechanical stopping device should the limit switch fail or should the shore power cable be forcibly pulled out.
Equipment Operation
How To Use Cablemaster System
To extend the cable:
- Flip the power switch to the “out” or up position or activate the “out” button on the remote control. Grasp the power cord plug.
- Walk to the dock power source and plug the shore power cord intothe receptacle.
- Cablemaster will automatically shut itself off when the cable has been fully extended. If you do not need the entire cable length turn the power switch to the "off" position. Flip the power switch to the "in" position or use the remote control.
- Turn power switch to the “off” position when the correct length of cable is retracted. Make sure the cable is not under strain or in the water. In coastal areas allow for tide changes.
To retract the cable:
- Disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside power source.
- While holding the power cord, walk toward Cablemaster unit.
- Flip the power switch to the "in" or down position at the cablemaster unit or remote control.
- Cablemaster will automatically shut itself off when the cable has been fully retracted.
NOTICE
DO NOT MOVE VESSEL UNTIL CABLES ARE FULLY RETRACTED.
The cablemaster unit should be able to pay in and out the cable without any slippage or any undue strain. Some assistance may be required on long out runs or multiple bend situations.
Retracting the power cord should not be any problem.
Refer to the maintenance chapter for information regarding friction adjustment between the main pulley and the shore power cable.
Note: Each cablemaster cord is protected by a 15 ampre in-line fuse located inside the DC distribution panel. This panel is found at the forward engine bulkhead.
Before attempting to open the DC distribution front panel turn off all DC battery switches.
They are located inside the cockpit circular seat under the aft cushion. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the front panel. Carefully lift the front panel forward to access the in-line fuses.
You will see the fuses behind the front cover. They are connected through the breaker marked DASH.
CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM
Overview

ELECTRONICS- AUTOPILOT

![graph TD A["SmartPilot computer"] --> B["Drive unit"] C["SmartPilot Controller"] --> B D["Rudder position sensor"] --> B E["Fluxgate compass"] --> C](/content/2026/05/945040/images/e9ddad846bfd10123cec0164f7add1adee70a749b1dfe28c80202e92482eb257.jpg)
Autopilot Key Components
The computer is mounted under the helm. The autopilot system is protected by a breaker located at the helm breaker panel.
Overview
The Raymarine® autopilot is a Regal option available only on V-drive or IPS vessels. It uses the standard steering system to distribute fluid through a drive unit (hydraulic pump) as required to the steering ram and finally to the rudder which turns as directed through the SmartPilot Controller and computer.
The SmartPilot is a helm mounted component. It sends course information to the computer (as inputed by the skipper) and to the rudder position sensor which results in steering changes to hold a programmed course.
A fluxgate compass mounted through the computer recognizes changes in direction quickly and the information is used by the computer to make course signal changes. The fluxgate is the priority compass. Other compasses data connected to the system will receive a lower status.
Operation
The autopilot operation is presented here in a series of quick reference cards. Basic information is provided in the following pages; more detailed information is found in the manufacturer's operation manual. The controller operates in the following modes:
-
Standby- SmartPilot off. Captain has control of vessel.
-
Auto- SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading.
-
Track- SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two waypoints created on a navigational aid.
-
Wind Vane- SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a true or apparent wind angle.
-
Automatic Track- In Auto & Wind Vane modes.
-
Waypoint Advance Feature- In Track mode.
Below are the basic directions for the SmartPilot Controller buttons which is mounted on the helm.
All the buttons are confirmed with a short beep. Besides the single-task buttons, there are several dual-task button operations.
To power up the SmartPilot Controller do the following:
-
Turn the battery switches under the cockpit circular aft seat cushion to the "on" position.
-
Turn the electronics switch to the "ON" position at the starboard helm switch panel.
-
On the SmartPilot controller press the STANDBY button for manual control. The SmartPilot Controller always powers up in the stand-by mode showing the boat's current fluxgate compass heading.
Once energized follow the Quick Start Guide to program basic course information into the system. For more advanced information refer to the Raymarine® owner's manual.

Card No. 13
| VRM/EBL | TARGET TRACKING | GAIN | ENHANCE ECHOES... | PRESENTATION |
What does the radar show me?....

Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM).
Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
How do I measure distances, ranges and bearings with the radar?

VRMs
Align a VRM on a target to display its range from your boat:
e.g.
ADJUST VRM 1.800nm

EBLs
Align an EBL on a target to display its bearing relative to your boat's heading:
e.g.
ADJUST EBL 30.0°S

Combined VRM/EBL
Combine a VRM and EBL to measure range and bearing of specified target. e.g.
| ADJUST VRM1.800nm | ADJUST EBL30.0 ° S |

Range rings
Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between two points or from your boat.
Note: Range/bearing also displayed when VRM/EBL selected with the cursor.

What is around me? Avoiding a collision
Card No. 14

How can the radar help me avoid a collision?
You can set up your E-Series Display to sound an alarm when anything comes within a pre-set range of the boat. These guard zones allow you to take any necessary action to avoid a collision.
Guard zones
A sector or circular zone fixed with respect to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM). If the SHM moves, or the centre is offset, or the range scale changes, the zone moves accordingly.
What does a guard zone display?

IMPORTANT
A guard zone:
- Will only operate when a whole zone is displayed on screen, or displayed by offsetting the centre.
- Is inactive for 10 seconds after it is placed or re-sized, to avoid inappropriate alarms.

Card No. 15
| MONITOR IN ZONES | ACQUIRE TARGET | MARPA & AIS OPTIONS | MARPA LIST | AIS LIST |
What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost.
NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.

Equipment Operation

What is AIS?
AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast 'realtime' information between vessels and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots.
In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver.
How do I display AIS?
![graph LR A["PRESENTATION..."] --> B["CHART LAYERS..."] B --> C["AIS LAYER ON OFF"] D["ON"] --> E["Toggle as required"] F["PRESENTATION..."] --> G["AIS LAYER ON OFF"] G --> H["Toggle as required"]](/content/2026/05/945040/images/d246ed121f81b662bf7d3c2016748d0c2be43045dcad984e75aab1e9fed8744b.jpg)
How is AIS data displayed?
The AIS system displays other AIS equipped vessels in the surrounding area as targets overlaid on a chart or radar window. Up to 100 targets are displayed and are scaled according to the size of the vessel. A vector indicates the direction of travel of the vessel. As the vessel's status changes, the symbol for the target will change accordingly.
You can view detailed AIS data, safety critical target information, alarm messages (ALR) and safety related messages (SRM). You can also set up a safe zone.

WARNING:
Smaller vessels do not have to be fitted with AIS and whilst it is mandatory for larger commercial vessels to carry AIS, its use is not. You should not assume that your AIS will display ALL vessels in your area.
GAS VAPOR DETECTOR

Overview
The gas vapor detector option monitors the engine compartment for accumulations of gasoline vapors. In the event of vapors, an alarm will sound at the helm.
The operator must take immediate action to avoid the possibility of an explosion. Do not turn on any electrical components until the source is identified and repaired.
Check all possible gasoline lines and fittings for leaks along with the engine and generator fuel systems. Gasoline vapors normally will collect low in the engine compartment.
Operation
The display panel on the gas vapor detector gauge contains three windows.
- The left window is a green power on indicator.
- The right window is an opening for the Var-a-brite light intensity indicator.
- The center window is the red warning indicator.
The gas vapor detector is protected by a 5 amp breaker located on the helm breaker panel.
The unit is “on” at all times as long as the breaker has power and in the monitor mode, as indicated by the green indicator light.
Upon power up, the green power on the LED will come on and the red warning LED may light momentarily to indicate a warm-up period for the sensor. The alarm horn will not come on during this period.
Should a vapor build up reach 10-20% of LEL (Lower Explosion Limit) the red warning LED will light indicating a detection of fumes. Should this condition last longer than 10 seconds, the alarm horn will sound. This alarm will continue as long as there are vapors present.
The alarm horn may be silenced by pressing the “mute” switch, but the red warning LED will remain on until the vapor problem has been corrected.
NOTICE
THE VAPOR PROBLEM SHOULD NEVER BE CONSIDERED CORRECTED UNTIL THE RED WARNING LIGHT GOES OUT.
If the red LED light begins to glow softly and/or intermittently, it is an indication that a gasoline vapor build-up is beginning to occur and you can anticipate a full alarm momentarily.
In The Event Of An Alarm
Immediately evacuate all passengers and crew from the cabin of the vessel. If a fire or explosion should occur, the probability of injury will be greatly reduced if no one is in the cabin. All passengers must put on their life jackets immediately.
It is important to understand, however, that an alarm would not have occurred unless a problem existed. Carefully check all gas hoses, lines and fittings for leakage.
Equipment Operation
GENERATOR-GAS/DIESEL

OVERVIEW
As optional equipment, Regal installs a 7.3 Kw Kohler gas or 8 Kw diesel generator. The units features a sound shield enclosure for lower decibels and a digital controller for diagnostics and system monitoring.
Information enclosed here represents the latest at the time of print. More detailed information can be found in the Kohler generator operating manual, by visiting KohlerPowerSystems.com, or by calling toll free 1-800-544-2444.
Carefully read and follow all procedures and safety instructions to ensure proper equipment operation and to avoid bodily injury. Reference the Kohler service requirements which can be located in the maintenance chapter.
Note: Where diesel generator information differs from gasoline generators special notation is made by bolded and slanted type.
OPERATION
Perform the following inspections and checks before each startup, as designated, and at regular intervals as noted in the service schedule.
- Air Inlets- Check for clean and unclogged air inlets.
- Air Shrouding- Ensure the sound shield is securely fastened and positioned correctly.
- Backfire Flame Arrestor- Check for a clean flame arrestor to prevent unfiltered air from entering generator.
-
Battery- Check for proper electrolyte level. Make sure all battery connections are secure.
-
Coolant Level- Check the reservoir for proper levels.
-
Exhaust System- Check for exhaust leaks and blockages. Check the silencer and piping condition and check for tight exhaust component connections.
Inspect the exhaust parts (exhaust manifold, catalyst, exhaust hose, hose clamps, silencer and outlet flapper) for cracks, leaks and corrosion.
◆ Check hoses for cracks, softness, dents, or leaks. Replace as necessary..
◆ Check for corroded or broken metal parts. Replace as necessary.
◆ Check for loose, missing or corroded hose clamps. Replace or tighten the hose clamps and hangers as needed.
◆ Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.
◆ Visually inspect for exhaust leaks (blowby). Check for carbon or soot residue on exhaust parts which indicate an exhaust leak. Seal leaks as needed.
◆ Ensure the CO detector on the vessel is functional and energized when the generator is running.

DANGER
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO CO POISONING! NEVER OPERATE THE GENERATOR WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING CO DETECTOR.
◆ Fuel Level- Check your fuel tank levels.
♦ Oil Level- Keep the oil level topped off with the correct type and even with the dipstick top mark.
◆ On diesel generators the water separator filter should be checked for moisture and debris which will be located at the bottom of the sediment bowl. Drain as needed and retighten all hardware. Dispose properly of all fluids and rags.
♦ Operating Area- Check for anything that could block the flow of air. Keep the air intake area clean. Never leave tools, rags, or debris on or near the generator set.
♦ Seawater Pump Priming- To prime the pump:
- Close the seacock.
- Remove the hose from the water filter outlet.
- Fill the hose and seawater pump with clean water.
- Reconnect the hose to the water filter outlet.
-
Open the seacock.
-
Confirm the seawater pump operation on startup as indicated by water discharge from the exhaust outlet.
Under normal conditions the consumer should not need to prime the seawater pump unless the boat has been out of the water for extended periods.
Equipment Operation
Digital Control Station

The digital control is found only at the generator itself and works independently of the generator control located at the ship's main distribution DC panel. The digital control is useful when service work is being performed on the unit and saves traveling from the bilge to the salon to start the generator.
The digital control main features are as follows:
-
Display panel- shows running time. Acts like an hour meter. In addition, display shows various fault conditions.
-
Buttons to change factory set information.
-
Master switch- This 3 way switch provides an auxiliary location for the customer to start the generator for service intentions. The 3 switch positions are:
A. Center position- OFF
B. Port position- RUN (Used to start the generator at the unit; slight delay in starting when you press the run position while the computer starts the unit)
C. Starboard position- AUTO (This is the position the master switch must be in to start the unit from the DC distribution panel in the salon). Be sure to turn the switch back to auto before reinstalling the sound shield or the generator will not start from the ship's distribution panel.
NOTICE
ON GAS GENERATORS ENSURE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ABOVE THE DIGITAL CONTROL IS UP
WHICH IS THE "ON" POSITION.
THIS PROVIDES A PATH FOR THE ELECTRICTY TO REACH THE SHIP'S AC DISTRIBUTION PANEL.
On diesel generators the circuit breaker is located behind an access panel found below the digital control. See the diesel generator parts description illustration.
Generator- Pre-Start Procedure
To start the generator from either the engine compartment or the ship's distribution panel do the following:
- Make sure the generator seacock is in the "open" position.
- Make sure the generator fuel selector valve is on.
On diesel generators there is a fuel supply shut-off valve located on the port fuel tank. Make sure it is in the "on" position, before attempting to start the diesel generator.
3.. Operate the blowers for at least 4 minutes before attempting to start the generator and check the engine compartment for gasoline fumes. Keep the blower on until the generator is shut down.
4. At the ship's AC panel make sure the transfer breaker is in the "OFF" position.
5. At the ship's DC distribution push the start toggle switch "up" which will crank over the generator. Release the toggle switch when the generator starts.
If you are starting the generator at the unit (engine compartment), push the "run" portion of the master switch until the generator starts. Again, ensure that the breaker located above the digital control is in up which is the "on" position. See the illustration at the end of the chapter for circuit breaker exact location.
- Let the generator warm up by letting it run for several minutes.
- During this warm up period make sure there is water exiting the generator exhaust located at the hullside.
Generator- Stop Procedure
To stop the generator from the unit itself or from the ship's distribution panel do the following:
- Turn all A/C equipment breakers to the "off" position.
- Push the transfer bar up and turn off the transfer breaker.
- Let the generator idle for a few minutes to cool the unit down.
- To stop the generator from the unit itself, flip the master switch to the "off" position.
From the ship's distribution panel find the start/stop switch. Push the switch down until the generator stops.

HARD TOP

As an option the hard top is a fiberglass unit which provides a stable mounting platform for radar and various aftermarket components. It provides shade and protection from the elements.
The hard top features lighting which is energized from the cockpit aft panel or from the helm. There is an access area integrated into the ceiling for routing wiring.
The canvas attaches to the forward and aft hard top. The canvas is Sunbrella which is a 100% solution dyed fabric.
Regal features a clear vinyl sheet called Strataglass as part of the hard top canvas enclosure. Strataglass is a premium, flexible coated sheeting engineered to resist the damaging effects from the sun's rays, environmental fall-out, and scratching from handling. It blocks out 100% of the spectrum of UV light.
Several hints to extend the life of Strataglass:
-
Always roll the curtains for storage. Never fold them as they will be damaged.
-
Do not use RAINEX on Strataglass as it will eventually dull the surface and presents a orange peel effect.
-
Do not use cleaners, polishes, scratch removers, or any other product made for regular, uncoated vinyl.
-
Do not handle Strataglass with sunscreen on your hands! This will permanently cloud the material where handled.
-
Never use a wash & wax product on Strataglass.
-
Never use harsh cleaners like Simple Green or pine based solutions as they will dull the curtains quickly.
-
Strataglass recommends IMAR which are specially made products for Strataglass. IMAR Strataglass Protective Polish, IMAR Strataglass Protective Cleaner and mild soap preferably IMAR Yacht Soap Concentrate.
-
Strataglass recommends using IMAR Strataglass Protective Polish every 2 to 3 months (every 4 to 6 weeks in areas of high fallout). In the interim, use IMAR Strataglass Protective Cleaner frequently.
-
All new vinyl can develop impressions in itself. If possible leave the enclosure canvas up. If completely removed, enclosures must be interleaved with either acid-free paper (available from framing shops) or old sheets (the best choice) to prevent “pooling” in the clear glass, vinyl seasons over time and becomes less impressionable. Roll all curtains down and fasten in place nightly to keep perfect appearance.
Review at www.strataglass.com
Cleaning Strataglass
Flush thoroughly to cool the surface and rinse away environmental abrasives. Wash with IMAR Yacht Soap Concentrate, or other equally gentle and high quality soap. Do not use Simple Green or pine based cleaners as they will dull the surface. Apply soapy water to a clear vinyl section of the curtain with a special surface washing mitt or soft cotton cloths. Throughly rinse the soapy solution with fresh water and completely dry the curtains with a high quality chamois. (Swobbit.com makes several tools to make these tasks easier). Your clear vinyl curtains should be washed whenever your boat is washed.
Equipment Operation
After washing the curtains, apply IMAR Strataglass Protective Polish sparingly with small, light circular motions using a soft cotton cloth. Finally, lightly buff to a high shine.
HARD TOP PARTS DESCRIPTION

NEUTRA-SALT SYSTEM
Neutra-Salt Engine Flushing System is available as an option on Volvo gasoline engines only. It's purpose is to flush salt deposits that develop in the engine cooling systems. It is intended for engines that operate in brackish or salt water areas only. The system is not intended for fresh water use.
! CAUTION
THE NEUTRA-SALT SOLUTION WILL FREEZE. IF FREEZING CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE DRAIN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
The Neutra-Salt solution leaves a corrosion inhibiting coating on all metal engine parts. The solution travels into the engine through a solenoid (after a rocker switch is activated) and a set of connecting hoses. The manufacturer recommends using the system at the end of each boating outing. Extra solution (Volvo #41103103 available in quarts and gallons) should be available from your Regal dealer.
FILL & TEST SYSTEM
- Pour the quart bottle of Neutra-Salt concentrate into the reservoir. Wear protective eye-wear & gloves since the concentrate may cause an eye irritation. In case of contact, flush eyes throughly with water for 15 minutes.
- Mark the fluid level on the reservoir. To prevent hearing loss, avoid prolonged exposure to the audible alarm on the engine, particularly in confined spaces. The alarm can reach 120 decibles.
- Re-connect the power supply.
- Connect water supply (flushette) so that the engine can be run.
- Start the engine. Run at idle.

-
Hold the rocker switch on for 45 seconds. Turn the engine off and then release the switch.
-
Check the reservoir, the fluid level should have dropped 1/4".
-
Hold the rocker switch on for 45 seconds. Turn the engine off and then release the switch.
- Check the reservoir, the fluid level should have dropped 1/4".
If the reservoir does not drop 1/4" it may be necessary to repeat steps 1-6. Run the engine at 1500-2000 rpm's to help begin the fluid flow. For normal operation, run engine at idle.
- If the fluid is still not flowing from the reservoir, check the following;
a. Check hoses for knicks and leaking clamps.
b. Check the vent hole in the reservoir cap for blockage.
c. Check that the solenoid opens when the switch is on and key is on run.
d. Check the fuse.
e. Check the solenoid connection.
f. Check for a secure ground connection.
Equipment Operation
OVERBOARD DISCHARGE PUMP (MACERATOR)
The overboard discharge pump (macerator)) can be used to pump out the holding tank in international waters.
When the monitor panel key is energized to the full start position, the macerator engages to pump the tank waste overboard. Again, make sure it is legal to pump the waste overboard before you start the operation. Also, open the waste seacock located in the sump. The pump can be disconnected from the 2 union fittings that hold it for maintenance purposes.
The pump is rated for 40 minutes continuous operation. Do not flush paper or feminine hygiene products into the waste system. Keep toilet tissue usage to a minimum. Do not use bleach or toilet cleaners in the waste system. Use only maine approved products. Rinse and flush the holding tank after each pump out. This will dilute any residual waste, and help prevent blockage and reduce odors.
The macerator is protected by a 7.5 amp fuse located in-line at the pump itself. For extended cruising it is recommended to carry extra pump fuses along with an extra impeller. The impeller grinds up the waste as it passes through the macerator.

FRESH WATER & WASTE MONITOR WITH OVERBOARD DISCHARGE

OVERVIEW
◆ The U-line refrigerator-icemaker produces up to 18 pounds of ice daily. The removable ice bucket stores up to 13 pounds of ice.
- It runs on 120 volts AC voltage.
◆ The unit requires up to 18 amps to start and runs after initial start-up on 2.5 amps.
◆ The refrigerator capacity is 2.1 cubic feet.
◆ Travel door pin helps keep door secured in rough seas.
◆ Icemaker conserves water. Only uses 2 1/4 gallons to produce 18 pounds of ice.
◆ In door storage- 2 shelves expand bottle storage.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
-
Shock Hazard- Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the breaker has been turned off.
-
When defrosting do not use any type of heater to melt the ice. Trying to speed up the defrosting with a heater can cause personal injury and damage to the inner lining.
-
Never use an ice pick or other sharp object since they can damage the unit or the inner liner.
-
Never obstruct the front air intake grilles. Keep the grille clean.
-
Failure to clean the condensor every 3 months could cause the unit to fail.
-
In freezing climates take the necessary steps to turn the incoming water off and purge the lines. The inlet water valve is accessible by removing the 2 grate screws. It is located on the starboard side of the unit.
Equipment Operation
OPERATION

On initial start-up all units are shipped with controls that are preset and do not require any adjustments.
The unit should be allowed to run overnight prior to loading the refrigerator/icemaker combo with food and liquids. Always throw
away all ice cubes made during the first three hours of operation.
To begin operating the icemaker circuit turn the icemaker breaker to the "ON" position at the ship's distribution panel. The breaker is a 15 ampre capacity. To start the unit, press the on portion of the switch located at the bottom center around the grate.
To adjust the temperature turn the knob clockwise as shown in the illustration. Allow time for the temperature to adjust. Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet include:

√ Temperature setting
√ Air temperature where the unit is installed
√ Number of times and length of time door is opened
√ Unit in direct sunlight or near a heat source
Icemaker
During periods of limited usage or high surrounding temperatures, it is common for ice cubes to fuse together. Shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If the icemaker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes.
It is common for ice cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the health, taste, or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that you find in each glass of water you drink.
The ice bucket can be removed for emptying and cleaning. To remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the bucket from the ice compartment. See the illustration. Use the ice bucket for ice storage only.
When the icemaker bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the cube supply. Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright and locked position. The unit will maintain temperature for ice storage.
If you are not intending to use the ice maker and turn the water supply valve off, you must raise the bin arm of the ice maker. Failure to do so may result in damage to the water valve.
Normal Operating Sounds
Your refrigerator/icemaker combo features rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this, the unit still may make some unfamiliar sounds.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit's environment. Hard surfaces such as fiberglass floors have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components, and a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make, are listed below.
Note: Your unit may not contain all of the components listed.
√ Compressor- The compressor makes a humming or pulsing sound during normal operation.
√ Evaporator- Refrigerant flowing through this unit may sound like boiling water.
√ Condensor Fan- May hear air moving through it.
√ Water Valve- At each cycle, a buzzing sound is heard.
Periods Of Non-Use
During extended periods of non-use take the following precautions. See chapter 10 for winterization information.
- Turn off the 15 amp icemaker breaker at the ship's AC distribution panel.
- Turn the unit to the "OFF" position at the power valve.
- Raise the bin arm to turn the icemaker off.
-
Empty the refrigerator of all items. Clean the interior of the unit with a mild non-abrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with warm water and a soft sponge. For rust spots use Bon-Ami®or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® See chapter 8 for further cleaning and maintenance information.
-
Prop the door open. The unit will manually defrost.

Since this CD changer is text-capable, make sure the O-N switch is always in the N position. In this mode, the disc titles and track titles provided by the CD text function can be displayed.
AMPLIFIER/WOOFER
As part of the CD changer option package a 200 watt amplifier is included. It is located in the salon cabinet near the CD changer unit.
In theory there is a P control blue wire that runs from the CD receiver through the amplifier to the speakers to boost the output.
As the CD receiver volume is extended the amplifier output automatically rises to increase the speaker amplification.
To protect the amplifier unit, there are two 5 amp fuses embodied in the amplifier. To protect the stereo wiring there is a 30 amp fuse at the forward engine bulkhead.
At the amplifier there is a power indicator that lights when the power is in the “ON” position. If the power indicator does not light there could be a short-circuited speaker wire, speaker wire grounded, loss of continuity in the ground circuit wiring or an overheated amplifier.

The 10" subwoofer in the salon features a dual voice coil to handle maximum power output. To adjust the woofer sound as part of the overall speaker adjustment use the AUDIO CONTROL and AUDIO SETUP modes as described in the stereo CD receiver earlier in this chapter. The subwoofer has no individual adjustment.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
BILGE/ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Always keep the bilge pumped out and free of accumulated debris. If the engine compartment becomes oily find the cause of the problem. It is usually related to engine oil lines, oil filter or possibly a leaking gasket or O ring.
A periodic bilge cleaning with a brush and a bilge cleaner (purchase at a marina or supplier) will be helpful in maintaining a clean and safe bilge since accumulated dirt and fluids could cause someone to fall.
Check the fuel system including all hoses, tanks and connectors for possible leaks and deterioration. A stained area normally could suggest a hose or connection leak.
Inspect all wiring including connectors and hangers for tightness. Clean fuel filters as suggested by the engine manufacturer.
Check all engine and water/waste hoses for tightness and deterioration. Tighten all hose clamps as needed.
Check all battery hardware and terminal connections. Fill the battery cells with distilled water (wet-cell type only) to the battery manufacturer's suggested level.
With stern drive propulsion check the transom area for loose hardware and steering system parts. Look for any rust stain areas which indicate a leak.
With inboard propulsion check the rudder for leaks along with the driveshaft seals and any other hull fittings. Check all hoses for deterioration.
Do not use any flammable products.
BOTTOM PAINT
Bottom paint normally accumulates a bit of algae and slime over a period of time even more so if the vessel is not used. Most of this can be wiped off with a turkish towel or a piece of rug while the boat is in the water. Stay away from using a stiff bristle brush, wire brushes or abrasive materials.
One way to inspect the bottom is to have the boat slinged out. Make sure the straps are evenly lined up with the sling markers on the deck. Look for scraps in the gelcoat along with any damaged or worn propulsion hardware. The hull bottom should be inspected annually, and repainted if necessary by your Regal dealer.
CABINETS
Interior cabinetry features a sprayed lacquer clear coat finish. Use a soft cloth and warm water to clean stains and finger marks. Stay away from any abrasive compounds, harsh chemicals and scrubbers.
CANVAS
Boat canvas is in most cases subjected to more severe punishment than practically any other type of material. Moisture, dirt and chemicals from industrial fallout, heat, ultraviolet rays and salt water are all factors which accelerate the deterioration of your boat canvas. These elements can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
The boat top and other canvas supplied on your Regal boat are manufactured from top quality materials to provide you with years of trouble free service. The following information on the care, cleaning and proper storage of the fabrics and fasteners that make up your marine canvas is being provided to help you maintain the appearance and ease of operation.
Sunbrella is used on most Regal tops, aft curtains, camper enclosures, bow tonneaus and cockpit covers. Sunbrella is a woven fabric made from 100% solution dyed acrylic fiber. It is color fast and will withstand long term exposure to the sun (ultraviolet rays) without excessive fading.
Sunbrella is a woven fabric. Even though it is treated with water repellency some “misting” through the fabric is typical. With new canvas, the greatest potential for leakage is through the sewn seams. Because Sunbrella and the long term thread used is synthetic, the holes created by sewing will not swell up and seal when exposed to water as cotton does. Usually the movement of the fabric in use will move the fibers enough to seal the holes. You may apply Apseal or Uniseal to the seams to speed up this process.
When the canvas is new, the fit will normally be tight. It is designed this way because Sunbrella stretches as it ages. The initial tight fit allows for a suitable fit for the life of the canvas. The Sunbrella fit will vary slightly in the heat, cold, and rain.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
SUNBRELLA CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Sunbrella should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, roof particles, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the boat. Simply brush off any loose dirt, hose down, and clean with a mild solution of natural soap in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. DO NOT USE DE-TERGENTS! Allow to air dry.
For heavily soiled fabric, remove the top from the frame. Soak the fabric in a solution that has been mixed to the following proportions.: 1/2 cup of Clorox bleach and 1/4 cup of Ivory or Lux soap (liquid or soap) per each gallon of lukewarm water. Allow the fabric to soak until the bleach has killed the mildew and the stains can be brushed out with a common kitchen scrub brush. Rinse the fabric thoroughly in cold water to remove all the soap. This may require several rinsings. Incomplete rinsing can cause deterioration of sewing threads and prohibit the fabric from being properly retreated. Allow the fabric to dry completely.
DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN AN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYER! Excessive heat can damage and shrink the fabric since it is heat sensitive.
This method of cleaning may remove part of the water and stain repellents that was applied to the fabric during its manufacture. It is recommended to retreat with such water repellency products as Apseal and Uniseal. We do not recommend any wax based treatments such as Thompson's Water Seal or any of the silicone products such as SC-15 or Aqua-Tite. Wax based products prevent the fabric from breathing, and encourage mildew growth while the silicone products interact with the original fluorocarbon finish and seem to cause a rapid loss of water repellency. Scotchguard has not been found to be very effective for restoring water repellents to Sunbrella. It seems to work well in the short run, but doesn't maintain its' performance very long.
CLEAR VINYL, ZIPPER & SNAP CARE
Never store canvas wet or in an unventilated, moist area. Always roll the canvas instead of folding. This is of particular importance on side curtains or any other part with the clear vinyl “glass”. Roll the top carefully around the bows and cover with the storage boot provided.
The clear vinyl “glass” used in side curtains, aft curtains, visors, and camper enclosures is very susceptible to heat and cold. Keep vinyl curtains from touching metal tubing to minimize burning the vinyl.
If the boat is stored with top, side curtains and aft curtain in place, heat build up inside the boat may discolor the vinyl.
To clean the clear “vinyl” glass, use a solution of Ivory or Lux soap, liquid or flakes, and lukewarm water. Allow to air dry. Never use any type of abrasive cleaner as it will scratch the “vinyl” glass. There are many cleaners and scratch removers on the market specifically for clear vinyl. Handle the clear curtains carefully. They are soft and prone to scratching.
Canvas parts are designed with zippers. When zippers are new they can be a little difficult to use. Zip carefully without forcing the zipper or the material. They will loosen with use. A zipper lubricant may be used to help new zippers as well as maintaining used ones. The most vulnerable part of the zipper is the starts. Use care when starting the zipper.
Canvas snap fasteners should be unsnapped as close to the button as possible. Never remove canvas by pulling roughly on the edge of the material. This can damage the canvas as well as the fasteners. Use petroleum jelly on snaps to keep them from developing corrosion especially in harsh environments.
"STRATAGLASS" CLEAR VINYL CARE- USED ON HARD TOP OPTIONS
A special feature used with Regal hardtop models is the clear vinyl called “Strataglass”. This high quality product used on our hardtop options features a scratch resistant coating, near-perfect visual clarity, resistance to fallout, runoff and overspray besides longevity over other types of clear vinyl canvas.
Use only the products and procedures recommended by Strataglass. These include IMAR Yacht detailing products sold by dealers only. You can locate the closest retail dealer at info@I-LOG.net or call Integrated Logistics, Inc. at 703-330-4693.
"STRATAGLASS" DO'S AND DON'TS
Please read and understand the following information regarding Strataglass. The manufacturer recommends using only IMAR Strataglass protective polish, IMAR Strataglass protective cleaner, and mild soap (preferably IMAR yacht soap concentrate) on Strataglass.
Under no circumstances use other harsh cleaning products like Simple Green and Orpine which will dull the curtains quickly.
NEVER use a wash and wax product on Strataglass.
Using any other products will void the factory warranty. Use of Rainex on Strataglass appears to work for a short time but then dulls the surface and presents and “orange peel” look. Do not use Rainex.
Use of cleaners, polishes, scratch removers, or any other product made for regular, uncoated vinyl will damage Strataglass. Do not use these products.
Do not handle Strataglass (or any other vinyl) with sunscreen on your hands. This will permanently cloud the vinyl where handled.
"STRATAGLASS CARE"
New: 3M Adhesive remover may be used to remove any glue. Final clean with IMAR Strataglass protective cleaner. Use IMAR Strataglass protective polish as the final step to provide a base protection and good watershed.
Use IMAR Strataglass protective polish every 2 to 3 months (every 4 to 6 weeks in areas of high fallout). In the interim, use IMAR Strataglass protective cleaner frequently.
Note: All new vinyl can easily get impressions in itself. If possible leave new enclosures extended in place. If completely removed, enclosures must be interleaved with either acid-free paper (available from framing shops) or oldsheets (best choice) to prevent “pooling” in the glass. Vinyl seasons over time and becomes less impressionable. Roll all curtains down and fasten in place nightly to keep perfect appearance.
Cleaning: Flush thoroughly to cool the surface and rinse away environmental abrasives. Wash with IMAR Yacht Soap Concentrate, or other equally gentle and high quality soap. Do not use Simple Green, Orpine or any other harsh cleaner as they will dull the surface. Apply the soapy water to the clear vinyl section of the curtain with special purpose washing mitt or soft cotton cloths. Thoroughly rinse the soapy solution with fresh water and completely dry the curtains with a high quality chamois (Swobbit.com makes several tools to make these tasks easier).
Your clear vinyl hardtop curtains should be washed whenever your boat is washed. After washing the curtains, apply IMAR Strataglass protective polish sparingly with small clean soft cotton cloth. Allow the polish to dry and then remove with a clean soft cotton cloth. Finally, light buff to a sparkling shine. For routine maintenance between polishing, use IMAR Strataglass protective cleaner. Insure the clear vinyl panels are free of abrasives. Very lightly mist a soft dry cloth. Lightly and briskly rub a manageable area and then lightly buff dry with another clean cloth.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
CARPET
Use approved carpet cleaners only. Always try on a test area first. Many spots and spills can be removed using a cleaner combined with a clean, white terry towel. Try not to soak an area excessively and do not use solvents because most interior carpet is rubber backed and glued in place. Solvents will break down the backing and fibers. To store carpet, roll it tightly. This will keep the carpet from developing wrinkles which result from folding carpet.
CORIAN®
Regal has chosen Corian countertop material because of its elegance and durability. Periodic maintenance will ensure its beauty. Corian withstands heat much better than ordinary countertop materials but you must still use a hot pad or trivet when taking materials directly out of the oven or stove top to protect from damaging the surface. Avoid cutting directly on the surface.
Another feature of Corian countertops is that it is a non-porous. Therefore, dirt and germs do not penetrate it. Corian will not support the growth of germs and mildew. To disinfect, wipe the surface with diluted household bleach with a ratio of 1 part bleach to 1 part water. To clean the surface of water marks, wipe it down with soap and water and towel dry. For stains use soapy water or ammonia based cleaners. You can use a green Scotch-Brite pad to remove stubborn stains.
Corian is a matte or satin finish. To remove scratches and nicks, sand the surface with 180-220 grit sandpaper until the nick is gone. To restore the finish use an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite pad. If you wrap the sandpaper around a block of wood while sanding it will help. Sand the areas flat instead of creating hills and valleys.
DOCKED/MOORED VESSELS
If your vessel is permanently docked in salt or fresh water the bottom will eventually collect various types of marine growth. Besides not being attractive the boat will lose running speed due to this buildup.
To prevent this situation pull the boat out and clean the bottom with a soft bristle brush and a solution of mild soap and water.
Have your Regal dealer paint the bottom with a good quality of bottom paint matched to your waterway for maximum protection. Be sure to leave at least 1 1/2" around all objects for galvanic corrosion. Check with your engine manufacturer before attempting to paint any engine stern drive areas for vessels with stern drive propulsion..
FABRICS-INTERIOR
Clean flat good interior fabrics with dry cleaning fluid style cleaners approved for use with soft fabrics. Allow adequate ventilation and follow the label instructions carefully. Use a soft cleanser with feldspar to clean stubborn marks or stains on wallpaper. Normal interior vinyl such as the headliner and head need a mild soap and water solution. Rinse immediately with clean water and wipe dry. Always test an area with a cleaner before applying it to a larger area.
NOTICE
WIRE BRUSHES, SCOURING PADS, OR OTHER ABRASIVE TYPE MATERIALS AND SOLUTIONS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE HULL OR DECK OF YOUR BOAT.
THEY CREATE SMALL SCRATCH MARKS THAT WILL COLLECT MARINE GROWTH AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FIBERGLASS & GELCOAT
CAUTION
AVOID BODILY INJURY! WAXED GELCOAT SURFACES CAN BE VERY SLIPPERY. DO NOT WAX NORMALLY USED AREAS OF THE DECK, LINER, OR GUNWHALES. DO NOT WAX ANY TEX- TURED OR NON-SKID SURFACES SUCH AS FLOORS, WALKWAYS, STEPS, LADDERS OR SWIM PLATFORMS. ALWAYS WEAR NON-SLIP FOOTWEAR WHILE ON BOARD THE VESSEL.
Routine maintenance is the only practical way to keep the surface of your boat looking shiny and new. Most objects left outdoors will gradually deteriorate from exposure to the sun, water, dust and pollution. Such outdoor exposure can cause your boat's gelcoated surface to change or fade. Darker colors tend to fade more rapidly than lighter colors because they absorb more of the sun's rays (ultraviolet and infrared).
Basic maintenance includes monthly washing of the boat's surface to remove normal accumulation of soil and stain. Use a mild detergent such as dishwasher powder or liquid. Do not use automatic dishwasher detergent. Avoid any kind of alkaline cleaners such as trisodium phosphate (TSP), abrasives, bleaches and ammonia. For best results use cleaners that are recommended for fiberglass.
It is recommended that you wax the gelcoat surface twice yearly to prevent loss of gloss and to protect the finish. Use only waxes for fiberglass and follow the label instructions. Apply a 3' x 3' section at a time using clean applicator cloths or a buffing bonnet. When a haze develops, use a power buffer at low speeds (1200-2000 rpm) to remove the haze. Keep the buffer moving to avoid heat build-up. Never wax gelcoat in direct sun. When the washing and waxing as recommended does not restore the shine it may be necessary to use a fine rubbing compound. Do not apply rubbing compound in direct sunlight. A power buffer at low speed does an excellent job to remove impurities from the gel coat that cause dulling. Use light pressure and keep the buffer moving. Re-wax after compounding to buff the surface.
“Hairline cracks” or “spider webbing” could develop in the gelcoat surface of a hull or deck. This can be caused by impact or other factors. Small air pockets or gouges may also occur through normal wear. These do not affect the strength of the hull or deck and can be repaired by yourself, a marine professional or a Regal dealer.
The affected area should be chipped or sanded away and a thin layer of color matched gelcoat applied. This layer is then sanded smooth and buffed to its original luster.
Most minor scratches, nicks, and dents can be removed by compounding the surface. Marine type compounds can be found at most auto body supply stores.
Specify a number 25 which is a coarser compound up to a number 55 being less coarse. Various glazes and polishes are available as needed. Ask your marine professional or Regal dealer for more information. Fiberglass hulls are strong but they can be damaged. A fiberglass hull has virtually no internal stresses. Thus when a part is broken or punctured, the rest of the hull retains its original shape. A severe blow will either be absorbed or result in a definite localized break. A break of this nature should be checked and repaired by a marine professional or a Regal dealer.
MINOR REPAIRS
You will need the following materials for minor repairs:
- Gelcoat
- Clear Liquid Catalyst
- Putty Knife
- Razor Blade
• Fine Sandpaper (400,600,1000) - Wax Paper (to cover repair area)

WARNING
AVOID BODILY INJURY! GELCOAT & FIBERGLASS RESIN ARE FLAMMABLE WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA FREE FROM OPEN FLAMES. DO NOT SMOKE!
For minor repairs refer to the following procedure:
- Clean the area to be repaired and get rid of any wax or grease residues.
- Clean out scratches, chips, and nicks.
-
Sand area to be repaired so gelcoat will bond.
-
In a separate container, measure only the amount of gelcoat you will need. Mix a ratio of 2% ratio of catalyst to the amount of gelcoat being used (a spoonful of gelcoat will require only a drop or two of catalyst). Do not pour any unused portions of the gelcoat/catalyst mixture back into either original container.
- Apply gelcoat to area leaving a slight lift above the surface.
- Cover the area with wax paper. It will help the mixture to set up faster.
- Remove wax paper and shave off any extra gelcoat with a razor blade.
- After the area is shaved smooth, start with the 400, 600, and finally 1000 grit sand papers.
- Buff the area with compound, polish and a finish wax. You may notice a difference between the repaired area and the original finish due to the natural weathering process.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FLOORING

Always vacuum up any coarse debris on the Cherry & Holly flooring to prevent scratches and embedded particles in the flooring.
After removing large debris use a mop with a special cover (sold in box stores) for wood flooring
care. These products contain alcohol ingredients which assist in drying a floor quickly. Simply spray the cleaner on the pad and apply in a straight line back and forth with the wood grain. Let dry. Do not use excessive amounts of cleaner on the pad. Mist the cleaner on the pad for even coverage.
Do not use harsh cleaners, chemicals or brushes on the floor since they will scratch it.
GAUGES/SWITCH PANELS
For normal dirt and dust accumulation clean with soft cloth and warm water. Dry with soft cloth or chamois.
Near salt water environments salt deposits can build up on the instrument bezels and faces. Use a soft damp cloth to remove the deposits. Do not use abrasives or rough, dirty cloths to wipe instruments.
Follow the same procedure for all switch panels. Do not use any of the following on panels:
- Lacquer Thinner
- Dry Cleaning Fluid
- Acetone
- Carbon Tetrachloride
- Benzine
- Silicone Spray
- Gasoline
Sometimes gauges develop condensation inside their faces. in high humidity environments. To eliminate the condensation droplets, energize the instrument lighting and the heat over a short period of time will evaporate the gauge condensation.
HULL/DECK
HULL BOTTOM
Never use wire brushes or highly abrasive scouring pads on your hull bottom. It could damage the gel coat surface or the bottom paint. The bottom of your boat needs to be clean since the build up of natural coatings from water or marine life can potentially create drag and affect boat performance. Use a turkish towel or for heavier build-up a piece of rug to clean the bottom.
HULL/DECK
For normal dirt and insect residue find a soft bristle brush on a long telescopic handle at an automotive store. A good brush is designed with a curved soft base to protect objects it comes in contact with while scrubbing. Rinse down the hull with a hose to loosen up the dirt. Use a mild soap solution in a bucket. Use up and down strokes to clean the hull sides. Rinse off until all residue is removed.
PLASTICS
Use plastic cleaners and polishes recommended for marine use only. Use proper applicators. Read all instructions carefully. Test the product in a small area first. Use a soft rag and always rinse the surface with water. Ammonia based cleaners and abrasives will damage plastic parts.
NOTICE
NEVER CLEAN PLASTIC SURFACES WITH A DRY CLOTH OR GLASS CLEANING SOLUTIONS CONTAINING AMMONIA. NEVER USE SOLVENTS OR WIPE WITH ABRASIVES.

CAUTION
AVOID BODILY INJURY! GELCOAT SURFACES CAN BE VERY SLIPPERY. ALWAYS WEAR NON-SLIP FOOTWEAR WHILE ON BOARD THE VESSEL. ALWAYS RINSE SURFACES ADEQUATELY TO AVOID SLIPPING ON SOAPY SURFACES!
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
RANGE
Clean the cook top before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cleaner such as Cerama-Brite Cook Top Cleaner will put a clean shiny coating on the cook top before its initial use.
Always remove food spills, grease splatters, and metal rub-off from utensils. First, use a razor blade scraper to remove all spillovers. Then clean the cook top with a paper towel or a clean soft cloth and a recommended cleaner. After using any cleaner always wipe the cook top with a clean, damp cloth (to avoid burned-on cleanser residue) and wipe dry.
Do not use your dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cook top. This may leave a film of detergent of other matter that can cause discoloration the next time the cook top is heated.
Avoid abrasive scouring powders of any kind. Also, avoid using plastic, nylon or metal cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cook top. Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or chemical oven cleaners. They may etch or discolor the surface.
Do not let anything that melts- such as plastics, aluminum foil, or sugar to come in contact with your cook top surfacewhen it is hot. Should something melt onto the surface, immediately move it to a cool area of your cook top with a razor blade scraper, and then remove it from the cook top as soon as possible.
Surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit by turning the icemaker breaker at the ship's AC panel to the off position. Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild non-abrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
SPOTLIGHT
The spotlight lens should be wiped with a clean, dry soft cloth to remove any debris such as bugs, salt spray or general dirt. Read the manufacturer's literature for more information.
STAINLESS STEEL
Keep all stainless steel and other metal parts rinsed and wiped dry. To maintain their finish polish the stainless steel and other bright works at least annually. Use a good quality auto wax to protect the stainless steel surfaces. A soft sponge works well to apply the wax or cheese cloth. In salty environments, rinse and wipe down stainless steel immediately after cruising to avoid salt deposit build-up and possible metal pitting.
Do not use harsh solvents or cleaners on stainless steel. Do not use steel wool or wire brushes. They will damage the finish.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
STAINS
Below is a listing of normal stains and clean-up methods. The sooner the stain is removed there is less chance of permanent residue on the surface.

UPHOLSTERY
Cockpit vinyl- requires periodic cleaning to maintain a neat appearance and to prevent the build up of dirt and contaminants that may stain and reduce the vinyl life if they are not removed. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of use and conditions to which the vinyl is subjected.
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm, soapy water and clear rinses. Scrubbing with a soft bristle brush will help loosen soiled material from embossed surfaces and under welting. If the stains are not removed with the above method use a mild cleaner such as Fantastic. This cleaner should be used only as needed and not the normal means.
With more stubborn stains, rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits may be tried cautiously. Widespread solvent use can severely damage or discolor vinyl.
Try to remove stains immediately before they have a chance to penetrate the surface of the vinyl.
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength cleaners are not recommended for cleaning our vinyl. Lacquer solvents will cause immediate damage. Dilute chlorine bleach before using. Do not wax the vinyl as it may cause cracking. Always wear protective gloves and make sure there is sufficient ventilation when cleaning vinyl. Wear eye protection.
Remember that suntan oil will damage vinyl. Use suntan lotion instead of suntan oil. Exposure to the sun is a natural enemy of vinyl upholstery. For maximum life, use a cockpit cover when the vessel is moored, docked or stored.
Ultra Leather- interior vinyl used in the salon sofa, salon seating arrangements, and both mid and forward berths. It can be identified for it's softer leather touch over a firmer cockpit vinyl.
Clean Ultra Leather by following the information below.
- Remove the stain immediately.
- Spot clean with mild soap and water.
- Air dry or dry quickly with warm setting of a hair dryer.
- For stubborn stains, use mild solvent.
- For tougher stains Fantastik® and Formula 409® brand spray cleaner have been shown to be successful.

- Check on stain repeatedly.
- Do not leave the non-chlorinated beach solution on for more than 1 hour.
When the stain looks almost gone, remove the tissue and wash the stain with water. - To neutralize the bleached area, place tissues on the bleached area and apply 15% hydrogen peroxide solution.
- Leave on for 30 minutes, & then remove the tissues.
- Remove the peroxide residue with water.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
The VacuFlush® system requires periodic cleaning for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency. Clean the bowl with a cleaner such as Bon Ami which will not abrade the toilet bowl lining. Do not use chlorine solvents or caustic chemicals, such as the drain openers because the various system seals may be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
This section covers maintenance procedures on standard and selected optional equipment.
AIR CONDITIONER:
Before each outing inspect the thru-hull fitting for leaks. Make sure the seacock is open. Also, the sea water strainer located in the bilge should be checked periodically for foreign objects and accumulated debris. To clean the stainer, unscrew the seacock fasteners by turning counterclockwise, remove the wire strainer, and blow it out if possible with compressed air. Reinstall the strainer, make sure the gasket on the top of the seacock is centered, and tighten the fasteners. Check for leaks since sucking air into the system could cause the seawater pump to malfunction. See the illustration.
Inspect the air filter monthly. The air conditioner filter is located in the return air grille framework in the cabinet below the AC/DC cabinet. To clean the filter remove it and rinse with plenty of fresh water. See the equipment operation chapter for more information.
Check the AC hose output located on the hull side insuring there is a full discharge when the AC pump is running. If there is little or no discharge shutdown the unit and immediately find the cause of the problem.
Periodically check the drain located at the compressor to make sure the entrance to the hose at the AC pan is not clogged with foreign matter.
If clogging occurs, blow out the hose with compressed air and pour in a bleach/water solution at 5/1 parts water to bleach.


WARNING
TO PREVENT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH! DISCONNECT THE A/C BREAKER AT THE MAIN A/C PANEL BEFORE OPENING ANY COVER ON THE A/C UNIT.
REVERSING VALVES
All reverse cycle units use a reversing valve: the valve must be energized periodically to keep the internal parts moving freely. To do this, switch the AC unit into heat for a few seconds once a month.
SEAWATER STRAINER
Check the AC pump for proper seawater flow by cleaning the seacock strainer basket. Check the overboard discharge for adequate water flow. Check seawater intake speed scoop for obstructions. Make sure hoses are not looped, kinked or crushed.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
TYPICAL AC SYSTEM


CONDENSOR COIL CLEANING
Note: If desired, call an air conditioning expert to do the periodic maintenance on the system
-
With the system turned off at the ship's AC electrical panel, disconnect the inlet and outlet connections of the condensor coil.
-
Use chemical resistant hoses (MAS white PVC 5/8" I.D., etc.) to connect the inlet of the condensor coil to the outlet of a chemical resistant, submersible pump (MAS P-500 pump, etc.) and let the hose connected to the coil outlet flow freely into the container mentioned below.
-
Place a strainer or piece of screen over the inlet of the pump and submerse the pump into a container filled with a 5% solution of muriatic or hydrochloric acid and fresh water or use a premixed over-the-counter solution. Use as large a container as possible to hold the solution (2 to 5 gallons).

-
Power the pump and circulate the solution through the condensor coil for 15-45 minutes depending on the size of the coils and the extent of the contamination. Visual inspection of the solution in the container should indicate when the contamination removal has stopped.
-
Circulate fresh water through the coil to flush any residual acid from the system.
-
Restart the system and check operational parameters to ensure thorough cleaning has taken place. Additional cleaning may be necessary with extreme contamination.
NOTICE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, DISPOSE OF ANY CONTAMINATED ACID SOLUTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND/OR LOCAL REGULATIONS

RETURN AIR FILTERS
Check the return air filter located below the AC/DC salon cabinet monthly and clean as necessary. To clean the filter, remove it from the unit, rinse with water, air dry and reinstall.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
ANTENNA (GPS)
There is a lithium battery (CR 2032) in a holder on the main circuit board of the GPS antenna. If replacement is necessary, notify an authorized Raymarine® dealer of factory repair center.
These batteries are specified to last 3 to 5 years. Even with a low battery, the unit will get a fix; it may just be a bit slower to lock on if power is cycled on the unit.
BATTERIES
Frequently check your battery terminals for corrosion build-up. If you find a greenish, powdery substance, remove the cable connections and clean both the terminals and the connectors with a wire brush. When the cleaning is finished reconnect the battery cables and coat the terminals with an approved grease or petroleum jelly to help prevent further corrosion. Check the electrolyte level at least every 30 days, more often in hot weather. The level should be maintained between the top of the battery plates and the bottom of the fill cap opening. Add distilled water as needed after charging the batteries. Do not overfill because sulfuric acid could run over and cause burns or an explosion.

Batteries should be charged outside the boat. Do not smoke or bring flames near a battery that is being or has recently been charged. The hydrogen gas generated by battery charging is highly explosive.
Set the batteries on a block of wood not concrete since the batteries will lose their charge if left on a cement surface.
Do not allow a metal object or loose wires to spark across battery posts while working close to the battery. Contact across terminals will cause a short circuit and electrical burns, explosion or personal injury.
Tighten all battery connectors securely. Check their tightness by pulling on the connectors. They should not move from their tightened position. Be sure to reinstall the positive boot over the battery terminal after tightening the battery post connection. While using the boat, keep an eye on the volt meters to monitor the charge level of each battery bank. Monitor the charge with the engines turned off (static condition).
The engine alternators recharge the batteries. A fully charged battery will indicate between 12 and 14 volts on the voltmeter. Readings below this could indicate a dead battery cell or a charging system malfunction which should be checked by a marine professional.

BATTERY CHARGER
Periodically check the battery charger terminal connectors for tightness. Be sure the shore power is disconnected and the battery positive and negative terminals are unhooked before checking any terminals.
To replace a fuse on the battery charger:
- Make sure the power is off. Then remove the cover.
- The AC fuse is located above the AC terminal block. The DC fuses are located above the DC output terminals. Use the exact type and rating fuse. See illustration on the next page.
- Replace the cover.
- Reapply the power.

BATTERY PARALLEL SWITCH
If the battery parallel switch fails to operate, check the breaker located above the push button switch. Always find the cause of the problem before resetting the circuit breaker.
A second area to investigate is the battery solenoid located at the forward engine bulkhead. When the switch is pressed the solenoid energizes the appropriate second battery for additional engine cranking capability.
Normally if you hear a solenoid click it is operating properly. Check all solenoid and battery connections for tightness.
BATTERY SWITCH PANEL
If the battery switch panel should lose power to one of the batteries, check the 105 amp breaker located on the panel. These breakers protect the battery circuitry. Always find the cause of the problem before resetting the circuit breaker.

Remember that there is a forward and aft bilge pump on the vessel. Periodically check the grates for debris and spray the units down with water. Make sure that a steady stream of water exits the through hull fitting indicating the hose from the bilge pump itself is clear.
Periodically check all hoses, clamps and electrical connections for tightness.
BLOWERS
The vessel features 2 ventilation blowers in the bilge, one for each engine. The generator if equipped is tied into the engine blowers. Check the blower hoses to ensure they are fastened in the bilge properly, there are no holes in them and they are not crushed shut. Hoses can crush if it is stepped on or a heavy object rests on the hose. The hose connected to the blower needs to be 3/4 the way down in the bilge to evacuate fumes properly. All vents need to be checked for debris.
Make sure the blower motor is securely fastened and all hose clamps, tie wraps and electrical connections are tight.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
CABLEMASTER SYSTEM
Experience has shown that when only a partial length of the Cablemaster power cable is regularly used, the cable may be subject to sharper than normal coiling which in turn causes undue “kinking” of the cable. To relieve this condition, routinely pay the cable out completely and stretch it on any smooth surface. Allow the Cablemaster to then retract the cable into the storage area.
At least annually, check all AC and DC wiring connections to be sure they are secure and free of corrosion. Check the neoprene covers on the in-limit switch and power switch to be sure they are free of cracks or fracture.
Periodically, inspect the exterior jacket of your shore power cable for nicks or cuts. If your shore power cable is dirty DO NOT USE any cleaner that will leave a waxy film on the shore power cable. This film will cause slippage between the Cablemaster's main pulley and your shore power cable. It is recommended to use a mild soap and water to clean your cable.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Shore power cable diameters vary from one cable manufacturer to another, the Cablemaster's main pulley is split in half and proper friction adjustment between the cable and the main pulley is necessary at the time of installation and major part replacement.
Too tight an adjustment will overload the motor. On the other hand, too loose an adjustment will result in slippage of the cable or no cable movement.
The Cablemaster should pay in and out the cable without any slippage or any undue strain depending on the installation, and distance from the hawse pipe to the Cablemaster. Some assistance will be required when extending power cord on long runs or multiple bend extensions.
To adjust the friction between the main pulley and the power cable follow these instructions:
-
Remove the 1/4" nuts and lockwashers from the face of the main pulley and remove the outer pulley half.
-
*Remove or add only equal amounts of spacers for each bolt.
-
Replace the pulley half and secure the nuts.
* When adjusting the pulley friction, only add (decreases tension) or remove (increases tension) one spacer from each bolt before checking the unit for the correct pulley friction. One spacer makes a substantial difference in cable tension.
CABLEMASTER PULLEY ADJUSTMENT

CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM
The optional cameras themselves are a sealed unit and require no maintenance. The camera system on the other hand needs periodic maintenance as outlined below:
- Examine all cables for signs of damage such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
- Check all cables for tight connections.
- Make sure the cameras are adjusted for the desired view.
- Spray the camera and lens with fresh water and wipe with a soft lint-free cloth to remove salt deposits and debris.
Note: A 5 amp quick blow fuse protects the camera system. It is located inside the DC distribution panel. Access the panel by removing the screws at the panel front.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Use the following procedure monthly or when leaving the vessel for extended periods. Normal maintenance should include frequent checking for the green power light glowing with the warning indicator and audible horn off. Each detector should be returned to the manufacturer each year for recertification. Refer to the owner's information packet and chapter 1 for more information. The CO detectors are located in the salon, forward and mid-berths.
TYPICAL CO DETECTOR

COMPASS
Normally the compass needs no special maintenance unless different equipment has been installed at the helm or existing equipment has been removed. This all effects the magnetic fields in a compass. A qualified compass professional must adjust the compass from the helm station. Note: do not try to adjust the compass yourself!
Keep the plexiglass dome free from dust and salt deposits by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. A good car paste wax periodically will help protect the instrument from the environment.
When not in use keep the compass protected with a cover. If the compass becomes erratic, sluggish or there is a lose of liquid it should be serviced by a repair station. See your compass operator's manual.
DVD PLAYER
To remove the DVD from the cabinet;
- Detach the front panel.
- Insert the keys at both sides of the unit as shown. Make sure the keys are installed completely into the unit.
- Pull on the keys and the DVD player will retract from the case. Be aware that the wiring harness is only so long so you will need to watch any video and audio cables as the unit is pulled out.
Periodically clean your DVD discs with a cleaner that you can obtain at most electronic box stores. This will help keep dust and dirt out of the internal mechanism and will prolong life.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
DOOR-CABIN ENTRY
Periodically clean the lower door tracks since debris can clog the track resulting in a door that may jerk instead of slide to open or close. Use a vacuum or a soft damp cloth Lubicate the latch and lock mechanism sparingly with liquid graphite. A tube that comes with the product. Stick the tube in the key hole and squirt in the graphite. Wipe off any excess with a soft cloth.

ELECTRONICS
Since there are no user-serviceable parts on any Raymarine product it should be serviced only by Raymarine service technicians.
Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment.
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine® dealer.
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared up by increasing the illumination setting.
Periodically clean your electronic display screen with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any harsh chemicals, solvents or abrasive materials to clean the instrument.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM-AUTOMATIC
Should the indicator light fail to come ON when the ignition key is in the ON position check the 20 amp ignition breaker at the key switch. The fire extinguisher system is protected through this circuit.
Inspect the pressure gauge before each outing. The illustration shows the ready and discharge condition of the acutuator. Remove and weigh the unit (minus brackets) every 6 months on an accurate scale (Do not use any hand held scales). If weight is below that shown on the unit nameplate, it must be removed from service immediately. If leakage is suspected, brush liquid soap on all points of possible leaks, or submerge entire unit in clean fresh water and watch carefully for 5 or 10 minutes.
Leaks will appear as tiny bubbles. If leakage is found return to the factory immediately for repair or replacement. Remember the two most important requirements to assure full charge and reliability of your Fireboy System are:
-
Visual inspection of the gauge and the actuator to determine if it has actuated.
-
Weighing to determine the true contents of the agent in the system.
All models from 75 cubic feet are rechargeable. Recharging is possible only if the unit has leaked out verses losing agent due to a fire.
Should the indicator light fail to come ON when the ignition key is ON, first check the pressure gauge and actuator to see if the unit has discharged. If not check the breaker.
Next, using a continuity tester, check the electrical pressure switch on the system bottle itself. Pull the molded rubber connector off by pulling straight away from the manifold, and place the probes of the continuity tester directly on the spade connectors. This pressure switch should have a closed circuit.

Next, check the continuity of the entire wiring circuit. The indicator lamp is an LED (light emitting diode) and cannot be tested with a continuity tester.
A simple method to test LED'S is to remove the lamp and touch the red wire to the + terminal and the black wire to the - terminal of an ordinary 9 volt battery. Should the indicator lamp be faulty, replacement lamps are available from Fireboy. Should the continuity of the pressure switch indicate an open circuit, the system will have to be returned to the factory for either replacement or repair.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FUEL SYSTEM
Periodically inspect the fuel tank components for loose clamps at the vent, fill and feed locations. Examine each hose for signs of deterioration and leakage. Check the fuel sender for loose bolts, nuts, and leaks at all areas of contact. Also, inspect the fuel tank for signs of leakage or abrasion. Tighten all components as needed.
Do not remove the spring and ball assembly in the antisiphon valve. It can be cleaned with compressed air. Should the component be faulty (normally a fuel surge problem at mid to high speed ranges) replace it. Check the fuel fill pipe hose connection at the deck using the access plate which can be removed for inspection.
Make sure the black ground wire is tightly secured. For further information, contact your closest Regal dealer or marine professional.


Typical Fuel Tank Fittings
GAS VAPOR DETECTOR
TESTING THE SYSTEM
The M-1 gas vapor detector can be tested for electrical continuity by pressing the "TEST" switch. The red LED will come on. The light will glow as long as the switch is held down. If the test switch is held down longer than 10 seconds, the horn will sound and the "MUTE" switch must be pressed to silence the horn.
Unplug the sensor wire from the display head while the unit is powered up. The red LED will illuminate and within 10-15 seconds the alarm horn will sound. If warning red LED fails to come on and horn fails to sound remove display immediately and return direct to manufacturer for repair or replacement.
FUNCTIONAL SENSOR TESTING
To test sensor use a butane lighter with the striker wheel removed. Hold the lighter to the sensor and press down on the lever to release the butane. In 3 to 4 seconds the warning light will come on. In about 10 seconds the alarm horn will sound. Remove lighter from the sensor. Mute the alarm horn and within several seconds the warning light will shut off.
Note: The M-1 alarm may be muted with the "MUTE" button, but the problem should not be considered cleared until the alarm light goes out.
The factory recommends replacing the sensor every 3 years due to the hostile marine environment.
The most likely problem that will be encountered is continuous alarming. If this should occur, and you are positive that there is no gas fumes present, check for recent use of solvent, paint or paint thinner, polish, etc. If none of these vapors are present, the next step is to thoroughly check the sensor wires for loose connections, broken wies, and water or oil contamination. Since the sensors are normally part of a closed system, broken wires will cause the alarm to sound.
GROUND FAULT OUTLET:

The GFI outlets should be tested monthly. To test them, depress the reset button. Then press the test button. The reset button should pop out.
If it does not, contact a qualified electrician or marine professional to replace the device.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
HEATER-HOT WATER
A. The most important maintenance factor with the hot water heater is that it is winterized with Winterban (RV anti-freeze) in colder climates. Use the water heater drain valve to vacate water from the tank. The water will automatically drain into the shower sump pump and then will be sent overboard. Make sure the water heater breaker is turned off before any winterization is started to prevent the element from being burned out.
B. If the system is constantly being used in warmer climates it is a good idea to periodically drain the hot water valve for 30 seconds or so to eliminate any scale that has built up inside the hot water heater. Turn the breaker off just as a precaution.
C. The hot water heater and heat exchanger parts are made of aluminum. If engine flushing is required by the manufacturer be sure to disconnect the heat exchanger from the system temporarily.. The caustic chemicals will damage the hot water heater aluminum parts. Re-plumb the heat exchanger back after engine flushing.
D. Test the T& P valve periodically to make sure it works properly. Its purpose is to let off excess water vapor (steam) if the thermostat should stick and a critical temperature situation develops within the tank. Pull on the valve to test it. The water will vacate to the shower sump pump and then overboard.

HIGH WATER ALARM

The high water alarm float is located in the forward bilge. Periodic maintenance consists of visually inspecting the float grate cover for debris and removing any accumulation.
HORN

The air horn features an air pump located behind the AC/DC panel. It emits a sound that can be heard much louder than the typical electrical horn. This extra distance can be useful in ship to ship crossings especially when foul weather is present. Check the air pump periodically for loose fasteners.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
PLUMBING CONNECTORS
All black plumbing connections to the red and blue fresh water lines require special instructions when they are to be removed or replaced. Be sure to turn off the water before starting any plumbing repairs.
- To remove a tee, 90 degree, or straight fitting first remove the cap on the end of the fitting by using a slotted screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver in the cap slot and turn 90 degrees. Cap will release from the fitting.

- Push the connector and collar together. Hold the collar next to the connector with your finger. Pull and the connector/collar will release itself from the water line.

To reinstall a plumbing connection to a water line make sure the line is cut off square and the end is smooth. This will aid in ensuring a leakproof connection.
-
Install the cap on the supply line. You may need to use a slotted screwdriver to remove the cap from a new fitting.
-
Simply push the fitting on to the supply line until pressure is felt. This ensures it is completely in the fitting.
-
Push the cap on the collar until it snaps in place. Turn on the water pressure and check for leaks.
Note: With the connector in place, a movement between the line and connector is normal.
PUMP-FRESH WATER
The fresh water system in general requires very little maintenance.
- See the equipment operation chapter defining the recommended seasonal disinfection procedure.
- The fresh water filter need to be cleaned periodically. Simply remove the hose clamp and unscrew the fresh water filter to access the screen. Rinse the screen off to remove any foreign debris. Be sure to use teflon tape on the pump fitting threads before installing the filter. Reinstall the components and check for leaks.
- Periodically check all fittings for leaks.
- In colder climates, use Winterban or its equivalent in all the fresh water system components after draining the system.
- There is a fuse located at the positive pump wire.

PUMP-OVERBOARD DISCHARGE

If your boat is equipped with an overboard discharge pump pay close attention to what materials are flushed through the waste system as it could become clogged. Do not pump garbage, rags, or sanitary napkins through the overboard discharge pump (macerator). Flush the waste tank and pump with fresh water with each
pump out. Do not run the pump dry or for extended periods of time since the impeller can be damaged.
Pump the waste system out at decommissioning time and rinse fresh water through the entire system periodically to keep the hoses clean of debris especially the pump out hose.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator periodically needs the compressor coils cleaned. To accomplish this task, make sure the refrigerator circuit breaker is off and all food cleared out. You need to remove the 2 screws through the top of the cabinet and the 4 screws inserted in the bottom of the refrigerator. To access the 4 bottom screws, remove the drawer beneath the refrigerator and use a stubby Phillips screwdriver. Once all the screws are out, you will be able to access the coils at the rear of the unit by pulling the unit out of the cavity. You should be able to disconnect the plug at this point. Set the unit on a stool to clean the coils using a soft brush. Reinstall.
A good time to clean the inside is after defrosting the refrigerator. Once it is to room temperature, clean all surfaces and trays with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. This will help remove any odors. After the unit is turned back insert a small amount of baking powder to help move any odors produced by stored food.
When leaving the boat for extended periods make sure the circuit breaker is off, all material removed from the refrigerator and the door is wedged open.
Before performing any maintenance work on the refrigerator turn off the icemaker breaker at the ship's AC panel.
Never cover the ventilation openings of the refrigerator. Never connect a battery charger directly to the refrigerator.
TO DEFROST THE REFRIGERATOR:
-
Turn the unit off at the ship's AC panel.
-
Remove all products from the interior.
-
Remove the ice bucket and discard ice.
-
Place a towel or other absorbent material on the bottom of the ice bin and bottom of unit.
-
You can speed up the defrost process by filling the ice bucket with warm water, not hot, and place the bucket back into ice maker housing on the towel or other absorbent material and close door to unit.
-
After approximately 1 hour, remove the ice bucket and discard the water.
-
Allow the frost to completely melt naturally. Clean the interior and ice bucket using a mild non-abrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non abrasive cloth.
Note: Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
-
Dampen a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth in clean water and wipe the cabinet interior and ice bucket to remove any detergent residue. Rinse the sponge or cloth in clean water and repeat as needed until the cabinet and ice bucket are clean, then dry interior with a clean dry cloth. Do not place ice bucket in dishwasher.
-
When interior is dry, energize the unit. To safeguard against contaminants in ice, discard the first 3 batches of ice after defrosting.
TO CLEAN CONDENSOR COILS
As part of general maintenance ensure the front grille is free of dust and dirt. The grille provides cooling for the unit and condensor coils.

CAUTION
AVOID BODILY INJURY! DO NOT TOUCH THE CONDENSOR FINS! THE CONDENSOR FINS ARE SHARP. THEY CAN BE EASILY DAMAGED.
NOTICE
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF CLEANER ON THE CONDENSOR UNIT.
- Before performing any maintenance work on the refrigerator/icemaker combo turn off the icemaker breaker at the ship's AC panel.
- Remove the control knob by pulling it straight out away from the grille.

- Remove the two screws from the grille.
- Remove grille and grille cap from the unit.

- Clean the condensor coils using a soft brush with a "combing" action or vacuum cleaner with a long wand. Do not touch the condensor coils.
- Make sure the grille cap is behind grille in the slots provided in the grille before attaching grille to unit, and secure but do not overtighten both grille screws.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
ICE MAKER INLET SCREEN
Once per boating season the solenoid valve inlet screen must be cleaned as follows:
- Turn the icemaker breaker off at the ship's AC panel.
- Shut off the water to the unit. There is a shut-off valve located behind the grille.
- Pull the unit out to access the back panel.

- Disconnect the hose connector from the water solenoid valve.
- DO NOT remove the inlet screen from the water solenoid valve. Use a tooth brush to gently clean any sediment from the inlet screen.
- Refasten the water supply hose connector to the water solenoid valve. Tighten the connection securely.
- Open the water supply valve and check for leaks. Make sure the water supply line is not kinked.
- Reconnect power to the unit before re-installing.
ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
The ice cube size may be adjusted by changing the amount of water injected into the ice maker as follows:
- Remove the ice maker cover.
- Locate the adjusting screw on the ice maker control box. The adjusting screw is just below the minus(-) and plus (+) signs on the control box. Make adjustments in small increments. Too large of an adjustment could cause the unit to malfunction such as water overflowing and could cause property damage.
- Turn the adjusting screw toward the (-) sign (clockwise) for smaller cubes or toward the plus (+) align for larger cubes.
- Install the ice maker cover assembly.

SIRIUS MARINE WEATHER
Note: Your Sirius SR100 Weather System is a sealed unit. DO NOT remove the cover of the receiver. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians. There are no user serviceable parts of adjustments.
Always turn your weather system off before carrying out routine maintenance.
Peform the following periodically:
-
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts, or nicks.
-
Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached and dust caps are fitted to any connection not in use.
SHOWER SUMP PUMP

The shower sump pump shown above is used to collect gray water waste from the sinks or the shower itself. After the liquid reaches a designated height, the sump pump energizes through a float switch and exits waste to a manifold then overboard. This system helps to protect our water supply by not dumping used water overboard. Periodically check the sump pump grate for debris such as hair and soap build up. Check to make sure the automatic float operates freely at all times. Also, clean out the box with a bleach/water solution as needed to kill bacteria. You can back flush using the bleach/water procedure.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
STEREO/CD CHANGER/DVD PLAYER AND TELEVISION
Since most of the same cleaning and maintenance tips overlap on these entertainment components, they will be grouped together.
-
To clean the CD slots in stereos, DVD players use a dry or slightly water moistened swab to remove any buildup of debris. This monthly procedure will assist in preventing the CD discs from being scratched.
-
To clean the faceplates of the various units use a dry soft cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, use a moist cloth with a neutral cleaner. Do not use harsh, caustic or alcohol based chemicals to keep the letters from coming off the faceplate. Do not use silicone spray or WD-40 since they could damage mechanical parts.
-
If these units will not play CD's properly it they may have developed condensation. Wait 1 hour and retry.
-
Keep all remote controls out of extreme heat and high moisture environments. Change batteries often for best operation.
-
Periodically check CD discs for scratched and dirty ones. Clean the dirty ones with a cleaning kit which can be purchased at most electronic stores.
-
With flat screen televisions, do not attempt to service the unit yourself since high voltage exists.
-
To clean the flat screen display, dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild detergent. The best cleaner is a screen cleaning tissue specifically designed for antistatic coating. Never use flammable cleaning materials or glass cleaners with ammonia since they attack the television screen surface.
STEREO CONTROLS IN WHEEL- REPLACING BATTERIES

LATER MODELS
On 2007 and later models, pull the center steering wheel out to expose the stereo control circuit board and # 2032 lithium battery. Position + side up on a new battery.
EARLIER MODELS
On 2006 models, there is a lithium # 2032 wafer style battery located under the steering wheel center hub. To change the battery do the following:
-
Grasp the top of the steering wheel cover. Pull the cover with equal pressure as shown until it clears the top of the wheel framework.
-
Continue to pull the cover in the middle and bottom cover sections until the cover is off the spoke area.
Note: With the cover loose be careful not to pull on the electrical wires. As needed disconnect them from their connection points.
-
Notice the battery. Be sure to install the new battery with the positive + side up (should be marked).
-
After the battery is installed and the wires are tucked in place, insert the cover over the wheel framework and push down lightly at all edges to seat the cover.
TELEVISION FLAT SCREEN MONITOR TRIM TABS
These cleaning recommendations cover LG and earlier Sharpe TV's installed in the salon, mid cabin and forward stateroom. Regular cleaning of the these units will help extend their life. Turn the power off at the breaker before you begin any cleaning procedure.
Cleaning The Screen
Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of warm water and fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring out the cloth until it is almost dry. Wipe the screen to remove dust and debris.
Remove any excess water from the screen and let the screen air-dry before you activate the television breaker and turn the unit on.
Cleaning The Cabinet
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the cabinet off. Again, do not use a wet cloth.
NOTICE
WHEN LEFT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS TURN THE TELEVISION BREAKER TO THE OFF POSITION TO HELP PREVENT POWER SURGES OR LIGHTNING DAMAGE.
NOTICE
TO PROTECT THE INTERNAL TELEVISION COMPONENTS OF THE TELEVISION REMOVE THE TELEVISION FROM THE VESSEL IN FREEZING CLIMATES. SEE CONTACT YOUR REGAL DEALER FOR TECHNICAL SERVICE.
Trim refers to the running angle of the boat while underway to achieve the most efficient planning angle. Check all electrical connections for tightness, corrosion, and chafing. All mechanical trim tab components should be checked periodically. If a malfunctioning tab is suspected, run each tab in and out while someone looks at each tab to make sure it is moving up and down the proper distance. Replace zinc anodes when at one half their life as determined by size. Check anodes twice a month.
Check the fluid in the hydraulic power unit (HPU) to make sure it is at the proper level. The pump is located in the bilge close to the transom. To refill, remove the lexan cover and filler plug. Fill with any type automatic transmission fluid (ATF). The fluid level should be 2" from the reservoir bottom.
The trim tabs may be painted for corrosion protection. Do not paint the anodes as they protect the tabs from galvanic corrosion.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
The VacuFlush® toilet system needs to be cleaned periodically for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency. Clean the bowl with a cleaner such as Bon Ami which will not abrade the toilet bowl lining. Do not use chlorine solvents or caustic chemicals, such as the drain openers because the various system seals may be damaged.
Use the following procedure monthly or when leaving the vessel for extended periods.
- Fill bowl with water.
- Add 1 cup of biodegradable powdered laundry detergent.
-
Flush toilet by pressing the pedal for about 2 minutes. Release foot pedal to close flush ball.
-
Completely pump out holding tank. Most marinas use a vacuum hose connected to the deck waste fitting that pulls the waste from the tank. We suggest using a hose after the process and shoot a few bursts of fresh water down the waste fitting at the deck. This helps the residue left from the pump-out process from building up in the waste hose.
If an odor is apparent from the system try the following:
- Clean the system out using the above procedure.
- Check to see that the vent from the holding tank to thru-hull fitting is not clogged.
- Periodically add the correct holding tank deodorant either Secure or Sealand liquid.
- Replace the in-line vent filter located in the mid cabin equipment locker once per year. This filter can be ordered from a Regal dealer or your local marine supply store. See the illustration.

- At least annually tighten all hose clamps, check all wire connections, check and tighten all water valve screws, and clean filter screen in water valve.
VACUUM CLEANER
CLEANING STRETCH HOSE
The stretch hose on occasion has a tendency to get clogged, especially if you have pets on board. To clean the hose:
- Lift the hose up at both ends and dispense some liquid detergent into both ends.
- With a garden hose, holding both ends still up, fill 3/4 with water.
- Shake hose up and down, let detergent loosen the dirt and clogged debris.
- Stretch the hose as far as you can (2 people required) and wash the dirt out with the full pressure of a garden hose. Repeat as necessary.
- Hang hose up on one end. Let hose drain and dry completely.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
WINDLASS
The windlass needs periodic maintenance to keep it in top running condition. Every 6 months the manufacturer recommends that the unit be disassembled and all the above deck parts be washed down with fresh water. Lightly oil (SAE 10) the seal, shaft, cone clutch and spline. Ensure that the base, below the gipsy, is cleaned well and the sealing ring is checked. Grease the threads on the chain pipe cover and stripper screws before re-assembly.
The bearing is self lubricating and should not require servicing.
Below the deck check regularly the condition of the motor/gear box and terminals and re-apply grease when necessary. The motor/gear box is two part epoxy painted to protect it against corrosion as it is constructed of steel and lives in the harshest environment on your craft. If corrosion on the motor is evident, clean and repaint with marine grade oil based enamel paint.

WARNING
TO PREVENT BODILY INJURY REMOVE THE CHAIN FROM WINDLASS BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Volvo-Checking Serpentine Belt

Remove the keys from the ignition switches before performing any maintenance procedure. All Volvo engines use a serpentine belt which connects the alternator, raw water pump, idler pulley, and power steering pump.
The serpentine belt tension is automatically controlled and requires no tension adjustments. At least once per year check the belt for wear, cracks, check marks, dry rot, exposed cords, oil or grease.

When the marks C & D line-up it is time to replace the serpentine belt.
Volvo-Checking Engine Alignment
The engine alignment should be checked annually usually when the stern drive is taken off during decommissioning. A special driveshaft is needed for this maintenance procedure available only at Volvo repair centers or marinas where personnel are trained on the latest engine alignment procedures.
Note: Do not attempt the alignment procedure yourself since drive train/engine component damage will result from misalignment.

VOLVO GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Unleaded Gasoline
Use only unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87 octane. If a 89 octane or higher is used you can expect an increase of power on EFI models.
Mid-grade and premium fuels use injector cleaners and additives that protect the fuel system and provide higher performance.
NOTICE
ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE USE OF A LOWER OCTANE GASOLINE THAN 87 AKI IS CONSIDERED MISUSE OF THE ENGINE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.
NOTICE
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL. SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE CONTINUED USE OF METHANOL FUEL. ANY ENGINE DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.

DANGER
FUEL LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION! INSPECT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AT LEAST ANNUALLY FOR LEAKS, DETERIORATED PARTS AND CORROSION.
Alcohol Enhanced Gasoline
An increasing number of gasolines sold today contain alcohol. Ethanol and Methanol are 2 of the most common alcohol additives.
Your marine engine may be operated using gasoline blended with up to 10% ethanol with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Using gasoline containing ethanol the engine will operate leaner. This could cause engine problems such as stalling at idle speeds, harder starting or vapor lock.
Ethanol enhanced fuels attract and hold moisture. Fuel tanks containing moisture can cause corrosion of the tank material. Inspect fuel system annually.
Leaded Gasoline
For EFI models, do not use gasoline with leaded fuel additives since it could block the fuel injectors and cause gasoline leakage.
Check with marinas before purchasing gasoline to find out what additives are blended in their fuel mix.
Use a fuel stabilizer in the fuel system to prevent gum formation and corrosion. When fuel is left in the tank for more than a month or at winter storage times this becomes a preventative maintenance item.
Note: For more information on Volvo fuel recommendations refer to the engine owner's manual, contact your closest Volvo authorized dealer, or visit the Volvo web-site.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES-VOLVO STERN DRIVE
The stern drive unit should be checked before each outing. Tilt the drive unit up and check for any debris around the intake and for fish line tangled in the propeller. Check your engine manual and the maintenance schedules near the end of this section for Volvo products.
Volvo-Checking Sterndrive Oil

It is recommended to check the drive oil level on a weekly basis. Before checking the stern drive oil make sure the stern drive is in the full down position. Adjust the trim accordingly.
-
To check the stern drive oil fully thread the dipstick into the hole.
-
At this point, remove the dipstick and make sure the oil level is at the top of the mark as shown above.
-
If the oil level is low, add enough oil to bring the level to the top of the mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
CAUTION
FULLY THREAD OIL DIPSTICK INTO THE OIL LEVEL HOLE IN THE DRIVE UNIT TO PROPERLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. AN IMPROPER OIL LEVEL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS STERNDRIVE COMPONENT DAMAGE.
- Tighten up the dipstick with a slotted screwdriver.
If the oil color is milky verses amber in appearance there probably is water in the unit normally caused by a leaking seal.
No metal flakes should be present in the oil. If the above conditions exist contact a Regal dealer.
Note: Use only Volvo Penta Synthetic GL5 75W90 Gearcase Lubricant.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Volvo-Draining & Filling Sterndrive Oil
To change the stern drive oil on DP units precedent as follows:
- Make sure the drive unit is trimmed to the full down position.
- Remove the propellers. See the section on propellers to acquaint yourself with the hardware involved.

- The oil drain plug is forward of the propellers. See illustration. 4. Place a gallon or larger container under the gearcase to catch the used oil.
- Remove the oil drain plug.
- Remove the
dipstick from the vertical drive housing. This will help the drive oil drain easier and faster.
- Allow all drive oil to drain.
8.There is a small magnet on the bottom drain plug. Examine it for metal debris. A fine metal powder look is acceptable. Large particles or flaking indicate possible internal drive gear problems. If OK wipe the magnet dry with a soft clean cloth. If not OK take the vessel to your nearest Volvo repair center.



- Proper oil level is determined when filled by the oil level hole beside the shift mechanism.
To access the oil level hole remove the five screws holding the shift cover. Now remove the oil level plug from the hole. See the illustration.
-
Check magnet for metal.
-
Check o rings on both plugs for nicks and wear. Replace o rings as needed.
-
Fill drive unit with Volvo Penta Synethic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W-90. You may want to purchase a pump that will fill the unit easier than using tubes of drive oil.
Fill slowly to purge any air in the drive. When oil appears in the oil level hole it is full.

-
Install the top dipstick by hand. Tightly secure the oil level plug to help stop any loss when removing the pump from the drain hole.
-
Install the lower oil drain plug and tighten.
-
Check oil level at dipstick. Fill as
needed. Tighten the oil dipstick to 48-72 inch pounds.
- Install shift cover and tighten screws to 14-20 foot pounds.

Volvo-Adjusting Power Trim Sending Unit

- Push trim/tilt switch to the down position. Drive unit must be in a full trim-down position before adjusting the trim sending unit.
- Loosen the trim gauge sending unit screws on starboard side of gimbal ring.
- Rotate trim gauge sending unit as required to achieve a "full down" reading on the trim gauge.
- Tighten trim gauge sending unit screws to 24 inch pounds.
PROPELLERS
Out-of-balance or nicked props will effect performance or cause vibration. Damaged props should be replaced, but those that are chipped or bent can usually be reconditioned by a marine dealer or a propeller repair facility. When cruising, consider carrying a spare set of props on board because many marinas do not carry a full inventory of replacement propellers. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for appropriate stern drive propeller replacement.
Be sure to make a note of the propeller diameter and pitch while the vessel is in dry dock. They are pressed into the prop for easy reading.
Make sure the ignition keys are out of the ignition switch and the battery switch in the "off" position before attempting to remove or install propellers.
It is recommended that you wear a pair of leather gloves to protect yourself from sharp propeller blades. With dual propeller units you may be able to use a piece of wood between the top of the gear housing and the propeller to hold it from turning while you are removing the prop nuts and hardware to access the props. Some of these units use 2 lock nuts, one for each propeller. You may need a special socket and rachet set to remove the propeller nuts. Line up the hardware according to its disassembly for reassembly purposes. Refer to the drawings on the following pages showing selected propeller shaft hardware. See the engine manufacturer's owners manual for further information.
Volvo Duo Prop Removal
Special tools are recommended to remove both propellers from the propeller shaft (Volvo P/N 3855516).
-
The ignition key must be in the off position along with the battery switch.
-
Shift the remote control to the forward position to lock the propeller shaft.
-
Remove the aft propeller nut.
-
Remove the aft propeller.
-
Shift the remote control to reverse to lock the propeller shaft.
-
Remove the front propeller nut.
-

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Volvo Duo Prop Installation

Coat both shafts with marine grease. Place the remote control in forward position to lock shafts. Install the front propeller.

Install propeller nut. Tighten to 45 ft. lbs. Make sure the chamfered edge of the prop nut is facing forward. Failure to install the prop nut correctly could result in loss of prop or damage.

Shift the remote control to reverse to lock the propeller shaft. Install the rear propeller.

Install the rear propeller nut and tighten it to 50 ft. lbs. Shift the remote control into neutral. Both propellers should turn freely.
STEERING
Your vessel uses rack or rotary style steering systems that feature a mechanical cable with assistance through the engine power steering pump. As you turn the wheel force is applied through the system to a hydraulic cylinder attached at the aft engine and through the engine power steering pump hoses.
With the engine running, check the engine power steering pump levels before each outing. Add the appropriate power steering fluid. Periodically inspect the entire steering system for tightness and signs of wear and leaks including the steering wheel. Lubricate the steering shaft at the engine. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for additional information along with the maintenance chart in this chapter.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
ELECTROLYSIS PROTECTION
Sacrificial zinc anodes usually found on the outdrive housing, trim cylinders or propshaft to protect softer metals exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks the least noble metals first. Because zinc is a less noble metal, it will decompose before other metals. Check these zinc anodes periodically and have them replaced when they are 50% gone.
Zinc is also used to protect metal that is exposed to saltwater. The salt causes a galvanic action that decomposes metals.

ENGINE ALIGNMENT
Stern drives use a rubber splined hub to which the stern drive driveshaft is attached. There is an alignment specification between the engine and outdrive that needs to check periodically normally when the outdrive is removed for service. A shaft is inserted in the transom area and the alignment can be determined by the spline image left on the tool. The engine mounts are then adjusted to permit a spline image 360 degrees around the alignment tool. This specification 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 a special tool and procedure is required.
Note: These are basic recommendations. Regal is not responsible for the accuracy of the information since it can change at any time. For more detailed information and procedures check your engine operators manual or call a Regal dealer servicing the product line.
Checking Engine Oil
- Check the engine oil by first allowing the engine to warm up for a short period. Stop the engine and allow about 5 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan. This procedure will assure an accurate dipstick reading.
- Remove the dipstick. Wipe it clean and reinstall it into the dipstick tube. Wait 1 minute to allow any trapped air to vent. (Install dipstick with oil indication marks facing the flywheel end of the engine. Add Mercury/Quicksilver Synthetic Blend MerCruiser Engine Oil 25W-40 to bring the level up to the full or OK points on the oil dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
- Remove the dipstick and note the oil level. Level must be between full or OK range. Add as necessary. Reinstall dipstick into the tube.
NOTICE
ADDING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL WILL RAISETHE OIL LEVEL FROM THE ADD MARK TO THE TOP OF THE OK RANGE.
- When checking or filling the engine crankcase oil ensure that the vessel is level in the water or on a trailer.
For changing the engine oil & filter see the MerCruiser maintenance schedule and engine operation manual or contact your Regal dealer.

- A good grade straight weight detergent automotive oil per the operating chart above.
Note: The use of non-detergent oils, multi-viscosity oils (other than as specified) non FC-W oils, low quality oils or oils that contain solid additives are specifically not recommended.
The 6.2 MPI requires with oil filter 4.5 US quarts of oil. The 496 MPI requires with oil filter 9 US quarts of oil.
Note: Ensure that dipstick is installed with oil level indication marks facing the rear of engine (flywheel end).
MerCruiser-Changing Engine Oil
Changing engine oil and filter at the recommended maintenance periods is one of the most important aspects of long engine life.
To change the engine oil & filter do the following:
- Run the engine at idle speed until the temperature gauge reads normal engine temperatures.
- Turn off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
- Remove the dipstick.
- Remove engine oil with a suction pump. They can be purchased at automotive stores.

- Using a filter wrench remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise. Be sure to use a container to catch the oil and dispose of in an environmentally friendly way. Wipe off the oil filter base on the engine. See the illustration.
- Apply a small amount of
fresh oil to the new oil filter gasket and thread it on the shaft in a clockwise direction.
Tighten the filter. Normally 3/4 to 1 turn after the filter contacts the base will provide a leakfree position. Do not overtighten the filter.
- Remove the oil cap and fill the engine crankcase with manufacturer's recommended oil. Do not overfill the crankcase. See the illustration.
- Install the dipstick and the oil cap.
- Start the engine. Check immediately for any oil leaks at the oil filter.

Generation 3 MerCruiser engines use a water cooled fuel module to help eliminate vapor lock which is caused by a combination of heat and vacuum. As the fuel system vaporizes the gasoline a starving fuel condition develops. This condition is most prevalent in alcohol blended fuels.
To check or change the fuel filter element do the following:
-
Allow the engine to cool down. The engine manufacturer recommends a 12 hour shutdown prior to filter removal.
-
Disconnect the cool fuel module harness at the unit.
-
Energize the key to the start position and leave engaged for 5 seconds. Turn the key to the "OFF" position.
-
Loosen each filter retaining screws from the module unit. Do not remove the filter unit retaining screws from the filter cap.
-
Pull up on the filter assemble handle to loosen the filter.
-
Drain all fuel into the module unit from the fuel filter.
-
Remove the filter cup from the filter cap by rotating the filter cap clockwise while holding the filter cup.
-
Remove the water separator fuel filter from the filter cup and place it in a metal container. Later dispose of filter in an environmentally friendly fashion.
-
Dispose of any debris and water in the filter cup.
-
Install a new water separator filter in the cup. Push down on the filter until completely seated.
-
Install a new O ring on the filter cup.

-
Attach the filter cap to the filter cup by holding the filter cap and turning it in a counterclockwise direction while holding the filter cup stationary, until the filter cap locks in place.
-

MerCruiser-Circuit Breaker/Fuse Information
The engine electrical circuit provides overload protection with circuit breaker and fuses in key locations. If an overload condition develops a circuit breaker will “pop” and/or a fuse will “blow”.
In either case the root cause of the problem should be found and corrected before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
In an emergency situation if the cause of the overload cannot be determined, disconnect all accessories connected to the engine and instrumentation wiring.
Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker remains open, the problem has not been corrected.

- A 50 amp engine circuit breaker protects the engine wiring harness and the power wiring up to the instrumentation. Reset the breaker by pushing "in" on the reset button.

- Located at the largest post of the solenoid is a 90 amp fuse. It protects the wiring harness should an overload occur. It is an epoxy covered fuse for corrosion and vibraiton purposes. Should this device fail the fuse will not show continuity with a ohm tester.

- The main power and fuel pump relays control voltage to the engine with the ignition key in the "on" position. Also, voltage to the electric fuel pump is routed through this relay.

MERCRIJSER GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Unleaded Gasoline
Use only unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87 octane. 89 or 92 octane fuels will provide increased engine performance in the United States and Canada..
Mid-grade and premium fuels use injector cleaners and additives that protect the fuel system and provide higher performance.
NOTICE
ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE USE OF A LOWER OCTANE GASOLINE THAN 87 (R+M) /2 IS CONSIDERED MISUSE OF THE ENGINE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.
NOTICE
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL. SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE COULD RESULT FROM THE CONTINUED USE OF METHANOL FUEL. ANY ENGINE DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.
Whenever possible only use alcohol-free gasoline to eliminate the effects of alcohol in gasoline. If alcohol blended fuels are used increased system inspections for leaks and fuel system failures are mandatory. Contact your closest authorized MerCruiser dealer for more information.
Alcohol Enhanced Gasoline
An increasing number of gasolines sold today contain alcohol. Ethanol and methanol are 2 of the most common alcohol additives.
Your marine engine may be operated using gasoline blended with up to 10% ethanol with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Using gasoline containing ethanol will result in a leaner operating engine. This could cause engine problems such as stalling at idle speeds, harder starting or vapor lock.
Ethanol enhanced fuels attract and hold moisture. Fuel tanks containing moisture can cause corrosion of the tank material. Inspect fuel system annually.
Leaded Gasoline
Do not use gasoline with leaded fuel additives since it could block the fuel injectors and cause gasoline leakage. Check with marinas before purchasing gasoline to find out what additives are blended in their fuel mix.
Use a fuel stabilizer in the fuel system to prevent gum formation and corrosion. When fuel is left in the tank for more than a month or at winter storage time fill the tank to prevent condensation entering the fuel tank/system.
Note: For more information on MerCruiser fuel recommendations refer to the engine owner's manual, contact your closest MerCruiser authorized dealer, or visit the Mercury Marine web-site.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES-MERCRUISER STERN DRIVE
The stern drive unit should be checked before each outing. Tilt the drive unit up and check for any debris around the intake and for fish line tangled in the propeller. Check your engine manual and the maintenance schedules near the end of this section for MerCruiser products.
MerCruiser-Checking Sterndrive Oil

Note: Be sure to check the drive oil with the engine cold before starting the engine.
-
Check the gear lube oil level at the monitor. Always keep the oil level within the recommended operating range. If oil appears at the bottom of the monitor or if discolored call an authorized MerCruiser dealer.
-
If more than 2 fl. oz. of High Performance Gear Lubricant is required to fill the monitor, a drive seal may have developed a leak. Drive damage could occur. Contact an authorized MerCruiser dealer.
MerCruiser-Changing Stern drive Oil

- Remove the drive oil monitor from the bracket.
- Empty the contents into a suitable container for disposal later in an environmentally friendly fashion.
- Trim the drive to a level position.
- Remove the gearcase drain screw as shown in illustration A.
- Catch the oil contents in a suitable container.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
-
Remove the oil vent screw from the vertical drive housing as shown in illustration B. Make sure the oil drains completely.
-
Check the contents of the container for water or discolored oil as this could be a leaky seal problem. Do not refill the unit. Contact your closest authorized MerCruiser dealer.
-
Again, make sure the drive unit is level. Fill the stern drive unit from the bottom gearcase fill plug. Use only Mercury/Quicksilver High Performance Gear Lubricant in the stern drive. If you are using tubes it normally requires around 100.5 ounces to fill the unit completely. Some people prefer to use a pump system.
-
When the lubricant exits the vertical drive fill hole with no air bubbles install the upper fill plug and washer.
-
Continue to fill the drive unit and the monitor will eventually reach the correct operating level. Do not overfill. Once the monitor is filled to operating specifications reinstall the lower fill screw and washer. Tighten securely.
-
Recheck the gear lubricant level at the monitor when the stern drive is cool and the engine is not running.
MerCruiser-Checking Power Trim Fluid
-
Always check the power trim fluid with the stern drive in the full down or in position.
-
The trim pump is located in the engine compartment usually close to the transom. Check the oil level. It must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" levels at the reservoir. Make sure the lubricant is amber color. A milky appearance normally indicates a seal or O ring leak. Contact your closest authorized MerCruiser dealer.
-
Fill the reservoir with power trim and steering fluid.

PROPELLERS
Out-of-balance or nicked props will effect performance or cause vibration. Damaged props should be replaced, but those that are chipped or bent can usually be reconditioned by a marine dealer or a propeller repair facility. When cruising, consider carrying a spare set of props on board because many marinas do not carry a full inventory of replacement propellers. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for appropriate stern drive propeller replacement.
Be sure to make a note of the propeller diameter and pitch while the vessel is in dry dock. They are pressed into the prop for easy reading.
Make sure the ignition keys are out of the ignition switch and the battery switch in the "off" position before attempting to remove or install propellers.
With Bravo 3 models the remote control must be in neutral before attempting to remove the propellers and hardware. It is recommended that you wear a pair of leather gloves to protect yourself from sharp propeller blades.
With dual propeller units you may be able to use a piece of wood between the top of the gear housing and the propeller to hold it from turning while you are removing the prop nuts and hardware to access the props.
Some of these units use 2 lock nuts, one for each propeller. You may need a special socket and rachet set to remove the propeller nuts. Line up the hardware according to its disassembly for reassembly purposes.
Refer to the drawings on the following pages showing selected propeller shaft hardware. See the engine manufacturer's owners manual for further information.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY! REMOTE CONTROL MUST BE IN NEUTRAL BEFORE REMOVING OR INSTALLING PROPELLER(S).

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
STEERING
Your vessel uses rack or rotary style steering systems that feature a mechanical cable with assistance through the engine power steering pump. As you turn the wheel force is applied through the system to a hydraulic cylinder attached at the aft engine and through the engine power steering pump hoses.
With the engine running, check the engine power steering pump levels before each outing. Add the appropriate power steering fluid. Periodically inspect the entire steering system for tightness and signs of wear and leaks including the steering wheel. Lubricate the steering shaft at the engine. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for additional information along with the maintenance chart in this chapter.


WARNING
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE! LOOSENING OR LOSS OF ONE OR MORE FASTENERS MAY CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STEERING SYSTEM OR DAMAGE TO THE STEERING CABLE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE STEERING SYSTEM.

CAUTION
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE! ABRUPT TURNS ABOVE 30 MPH MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL. STEERING RESPONSE AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN BE VERY SUDDEN. ABRUBT TURNS MAY CAUSE YOU TO CROSS YOUR OWN WAKE. JUMPING A WAKE, SUDDEN TURNS, AND INCREASES OR DECREASES IN SPEEDS MAY BE DANGEROUS. THE OPERATOR MUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL PASSENGERS ARE SEATED SECURELY BEFORE MAKING SPEED CHANGES.
ELECTROLYSIS PROTECTION
ANODE LOCATION BRAVO 3

Sacrificial zinc anodes are usually found on the outdrive housing, trim cylinders or propshaft to protect softer metals exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks the least noble metals first. Because zinc is a less noble metal, it will decompose before other metals. Check these zinc anodes periodically and have them replaced when they are 50% eroded.
Zinc is also used to protect metal that is exposed to saltwater. The salt causes a galvanic action that decomposes metals.

ENGINE ALIGNMENT
Stern drives use a rubber splined hub to which the stern drive driveshaft is attached. There is an alignment specification between the engine and outdrive that needs to check periodically normally when the outdrive is removed for service. A shaft is inserted in the transom area and the alignment can be determined by the spline image left on the tool. The engine mounts are then adjusted to permit a spline image 360 degrees around the alignment tool. This specification 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 a special tool and procedure is required.

Volvo-Cleaning V-Drive Engine Flame Arrestor

Volvo-Electric Fuel Pumps
The 8.1 engine features electronic fuel injection as standard equipment. It delivers the correct amount of fuel to the engine from idle to full throttle conditions. As part of this system is a set of electronic fuel pumps.
A high pressure pump supplies fuel to the injectors. A low pressure pump delivers fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.
The fuel pumps require periodic maintenance. Before each outing check for signs of fuel leakage. If leakage is observed do not attempt to start the engines. Call a Regal or Volvo dealer immediately for service.
Both fuel pumps are protected by a 20 amp fuse. See the circuit breaker, fuse and relay box illustration. If a pump does not function inspect the fuse first.
Note: Using alcohol blended fuels increases the corrosion factor in the fuel system. Even closer monitoring of the fuel system in general besides the fuel pumps is required.
The flame arrestor regulates the air into the engine. It needs periodic inspection and cleaning.
Note: On the 8.1 be very careful when removing the flame arrestor. There is an electronic throttle plate behind the flame arrestor that features moving parts with sharp edges that could cause injuries.
- Remove the flame arrestor and clean in solvent. Be sure to air dry the parts. Inspect for any damage. Replace as necessary.
- Reinstall flame arrestor. Make sure it is always fastened securely in place and free from damage.
It must be tightly in place in case there is a backfire in the fuel system. It prevents fuel vapors being expelled into the engine compartment.
NOTICE
PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE! DO NOT RUN ENGINE OUT OF FUEL OR RUN THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS MORE THAN 20 SECONDS. RUNNING THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS DRY WILL DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMPS.
Volvo-Checking V-Drive Engine Serpentine Belt

Remove the keys from the ignition switches before performing any maintenance procedure. All Volvo engines use a serpentine belt which connects the alternator, raw water pump, idler pulley, and power steering pump.
The serpentine belt tension is adjusted automatically and requires no tension adjustments. At least once per year check the belt for wear, cracks, check marks, dry rot, exposed cords, oil or grease.

When the marks C & D line-up it is time to replace the serpentine belt.

Volvo- Checking V-Drive Engine Mounts
The engines are placed in the boat on a set of metal or wooden platforms called mounts. These rubber isolation mounts keep the engine from moving laterally and athwartships (right angles to the center line). The mounts help reduce the vibration caused by the engine and drive. Periodically, the mount hardware should be checked for tightness. There are 4 mounts on each engine/V-drive propulsion package.
Use a 1/2" drive ratchet and socket. Tighten each mount bolt to the correct torque.
Volvo- Checking V-Drive Engine Exhaust System

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically for the following:
- Water leaks
- Loose hose clamps.
- Burned hoses.
-
Deteriorated hoses.
-
Corrosion or blockage in the exhaust manifolds or risers.
Check the gasket B between points A & C for corrosion. If the walls look thin or corroded replace the components. Water can be injected into the engine if this area is damaged.
Any type of exhaust leak must be repaired before operating your vessel because of carbon monoxide poisoning.

VOLVO GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Unleaded Gasoline
Use only unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87 octane. If a 89 octane or higher is used you can expect an increase of power on EFI models.
Mid-grade and premium fuels use injector cleaners and additives that protect the fuel system and provide higher performance.
NOTICE
ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE USE OF A LOWER OCTANE GASOLINE THAN 87 AKI IS CONSIDERED MISUSE OF THE ENGINE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.
NOTICE
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL. SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE CONTINUED USE OF METHANOL FUEL. ANY ENGINE DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE ENGINE WARRANTY.

DANGER
FUEL LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION! INSPECT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AT LEAST ANNUALLY FOR LEAKS, DETERIORATED PARTS AND CORROSION.
Alcohol Enhanced Gasoline
An increasing number of gasolines sold today contain alcohol. Ethanol and Methanol are 2 of the most common alcohol additives.
Your marine engine may be operated using gasoline blended with up to 10% ethanol with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Using gasoline containing ethanol the engine will operate leaner. This could cause engine problems such as stalling at idle speeds, harder starting or vapor lock.
Ethanol enhanced fuels attract and hold moisture. Fuel tanks containing moisture can cause corrosion of the tank material. Inspect fuel system annually.
Leaded Gasoline
For EFI models do not use gasoline with leaded fuel additives since it could block the fuel injectors and cause gasoline leakage.
Check with marinas before purchasing gasoline to find out what additives are blended in their fuel mix.
Use a fuel stabilizer in the fuel system to prevent gum formation and corrosion. When fuel is left in the tank for more than a month or at winter storage times this becomes a preventative maintenance item.
Note: For more information on Volvo fuel recommendations refer to the engine owner's manual, contact your closest Volvo authorized dealer, or visit the Volvo web-site.
Volvo-Checking V-Drive Engine Transmission Level

The transmission fluid should be checked before each outing. Add only the manufacturer's recommended fluids. Hoses and fasteners should be checked periodically. See the engine owner's manual for more specific information. To check the transmission fluid pull the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and note the reading. If it falls below the mark, fill with Dextron III fluid.
The transmission dry capacity is 4.25 US quarts.
Volvo-Changing V-Drive Engine Transmission Level
The V-drive transmission fluid should be changed at least annually..This procedure should be completed by an authorized Regal dealer.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
PROPELLERS
Out-of-balance or nicked props will effect performance or cause vibration. Damaged props should be replaced, but those that are chipped or bent can usually be reconditioned by a marine dealer or a propeller repair facility. When cruising, carry a spare set of propellers on board because many marinas do not stock a full inventory of replacement propellers. It is also recommended that you carry a spare propeller nut, cotter key and keyway.
Be sure to make a note of both propeller diameter and pitch while the vessel is in dry dock. They are pressed into the prop for easy reading. The port propeller is left hand or turns counterclockwise. The starboard propeller is right hand and turns clockwise. Make sure you do not mix them up.
In an emergency, a propeller blade can be straightened by laying the propeller blade on a 2 x 4 and hammering the bent portion of the blade until straight.
A special prop puller is needed to replace your Regal propellers can be found at most marinas. This puller could be expensive for the average boater to own and its use could cause an injury. It is best to leave inboard propeller changing to a professional. Periodically check the propeller for nicks, etc. Make sure you wear heavy leather gloves as the propeller edges are sharp and may cause injury. Never turn the propeller on the shaft unless the batteries are off at the battery switch and all keys out of the ignition Make sure all replacement parts are the same as original equipment. See the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.

Typical Propeller
Volvo-Changing V-Drive Propellers
Make sure the ignition keys are out of the ignition switch and the battery switch in the "off" position before attempting to remove or install propellers.
It is recommended that you wear a pair of leather gloves to protect yourself from sharp propeller blades.
UNDERWATER HARDWARE
Volto-Checking V-Drive Rudder & Strut

Periodically check the rudder and strut for damage from hitting any submerged object or from running aground, on sand, etc. Check the rudder for straightness and tightness. The rudder packing if leaking into the hull can be adjusted.
Volvo-Checking V-Drive Shaft Seal

This unique shaft seal system is water cooled and eliminates the need to adjust a packing nut to the correct drip amount. It uses a hose from the engine manifold to cool the shaft through the seals and exits the water through the hull bottom.
Periodically, check the hoses to make sure there are no leaks.
For seal replacement call an authorized Regal dealer. Make sure the shaft seal assembly is winterized properly.
Volvo-Adjusting V-Drive Rudder

To tighten the rudder packing first find the 2 nuts located above the rudder shaft. While holding the top adjustment nut turn the bottom jam nut clockwise to loosen it. Then turn the top packing nut until the drip stops. Do not over tighten as the packing can be ruined. Hold the adjustment nut from moving and tighten it properly by turning (counterclockwise) the jam nut against the
adjustment nut. Check the rudder shaft for leaks.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Volvo-Checking V-Drive Seacocks
Volvo- Checking V-Drive Sea Water Strainer
Inspect the thru-hull seacocks before each outing. Make sure the connections between the output hose and the valve are tight. Look for water leaks around the area where the valve and hull meet.
Every 30 days open and close each thru-hull valve several times. This will guard against the valve seizing in the open or closed position. Also, make sure the valve handle is tightly fastened. Secure any loose valve handles.


Before servicing the sea water strainer make sure the appropriate seacock has been closed to prevent water entering the boat. If possible blow out the strainer basket with compressed air or use a metal type brush to remove any accumulated material from the screening material. Make sure the strainer is aligned in the center dimple on reinstallation.
Check all parts for wear and possible leaks including any gasket surfaces. Do not overtighten the strainer wing nuts which could cause strainer body damage. Use original replacement marine parts only. After all parts are reassembled open the seacock and check for leaks.
Notice there is a drain hole in the bottom of the strainer body.
VOLVO V-DRIVE STEERING SYSTEM
The steering system should be checked periodically since a potential hazard could develop using improperly maintained components.
The helm unit should be checked for leaks and hose tightness. Contact your nearest Regal dealer for further information.
Check all the rudder arm parts for tightness. This includes all related tie bars and rudder collar connections. Inspect all packing nuts, cotter keys, nuts and bolts for wear.
Check for fluid leaks and loose hoses periodically. Filling the unit improperly could cause air in the system and possible loss of steering. Contact a Regal dealer for maintenance or follow the steps in the following pages to refill the system.
The system uses a special hydraulic fluid and is filled at the factory. It should be checked at least 2 times a year. There is a fill plug located on the top of the helm. Make sure the fluid level is within a 1/2" of the bottom of the helm fill hole.
The steering cylinder has bleed screws located on the cylinder in the bilge. A special recommended hydraulic fluid (HA 5430) is available through your Regal dealer. It can also be found through a Teleflex/Seastar dealer. In an emergency Dextron II can be used to top off a low system. If the system is leaking fluid it requires immediate attention from a marine professional.
A periodic inspection of all hoses and connections should be made especially at the aft steering cylinder. The steering cylinder has a zerk type fitting that is used to lubricate the pivot of the steering cylinder. Also, inspect the tie bar fasteners for tightness and any cotter keys.
Unlike a mechanical steering system there is no definite end to the travel of the steering wheel. The helm has relief valves that allow the wheel to continue turning after the steering cylinder has reached the end of its travel. This is a normal condition. You will feel a slight increase in effort to turn the wheel once this has occurred.
Additional maintenance information can be found in the manufacturer's owner's manual or on the web-site at www.seastarsteering.com

VOLVO V-DRIVE HYDRAULIC STEERING

Volvo-Checking V-Drive Hydraulic Steering System
Check the following items at least 2 times a year:
- All mechanical linkages and connections for tightness.
- Check for leaks. Turn steering wheel and pressurize to port. Apply enough pressure to exceed pressure relief valve pressure. You will not harm the system While pressure is applied have someone check all port fittings and line connections.
Repeat the procedure by turning the wheel to starboard. Watch the oil level in the trim pump while pressurizing the steering wheel in either hard over positions. If there is no obvious drop in oil level, air has been removed. If there is an obvious drop in oil level, you are compressing air and further filling and testing is required. Repeat steps If no leaks are obvious, the system is ready for use. - Check all hoses for chafing/rubbing marks, and replace as necessary.
- Check the steering cylinder for nicks and scratches. A damaged cylinder shaft can cause seal failure and leaks. Replacing seals to a damaged cylinder will not stop leaks. A damaged cylinder shaft must be replaced immediately.

WARNING
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE! IF LEAKS ARE FOUND, CORRECT BEFORE USING! FAILURE TO CORRECT A LEAK CAN LOWER OIL LEVEL IN SYSTEM AND RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING.
Volvo-Filling V-Drive Hydraulic Steering System
The instructions on the following page show you how to fill and purge a single station Teleflex SeaStar hydraulic steering system This procedure is needed only when there is a large leak in the system and an abundance of fluid is lost from the system The procedure requires two people to make sure all air is purged from the system If air remains the system will be spongy and unresponsive.
During the entire filling procedure, oil needs to be visible in the filler tube. Do not allow the oil level to disappear into the helm pump, as this may allow air to enter the system and increase the filling time. 2 quarts of special Teleflex/SeaStar (HA 5430) hydraulic fluid (recommended) is required to fill the entire system noting that it is completely out of fluid..
This procedure requires a fill bottle kit which can be made up. If you put a vent hole in the quart filler container and insert a plastic tube along with something to initially plug the filler bottle hole you will be ready to fill the unit.
Note: You may elect to have your authorized Regal dealer accomplish this task.
In the instructions "bleeder" refers to cylinders fitted with bleed tee fittings. If bleeder tee fittings exist, open bleeder by unscrewing bleed nipple 2 turns.
Without bleeder tee fittings, disconnect hydraulic line from the steering cylinder fitting. The oil level in the helm unit must be set with the cylinder rod fully retracted. If this is not done, a spill at the helm unit will result.
Filling the helm full of oil can be done faster if oil is poured into the helm prior to connecting filler tube and oil bottle to the helm.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FILLING V-DRIVE HYDRAULIC STEERING
Step 1
- Screw the threaded end of the filler tube into the helm filler hole.
- Remove the cap from the oil bottle and holding upright, screw into the filler tube bottle cap. Poke hole in the bottom of the bottle.
- Fill the helm pump full of oil (Oil should always be visible in the filler tube). Use the next bottle at any time throughout the procedure when the oil level drops in the filler tube. Do not proceed with step two until helm is full of oil.

Step 2
- Turn the steering wheel clockwise until the cylinder rod is fully extended on the left side of the cylinder.
- Open left side bleeder.

Step 3
- Holding the cylinder rod (to prevent it from moving back into the cylinder) turn the steering wheel counter-clockwise until a steady stream of air free oil comes out of the bleeder. (Drain out approx. 1/2 bottle of oil or as required.)
- While continuing to turn the wheel, close the left side bleeder and let go of the cylinder rod.

Step 4
- Continue turning the steering wheel counter-clockwise until the cylinder rod is fully extended to the right. (Steering wheel will come to a stop)
- Open the right bleeder.

Step 5
- Holding the cylinder rod (to prevent it from moving back into the cylinder) turn the steering wheel clockwise until a steady stream of air free oil comes out of bleeder.
- While continuing to turn the wheel, close the right side bleeder and let go of the cylinder rod.
Fill and purge is now complete

ELECTROLYSIS PROTECTION
Sacrificial zinc anodes usually found on the engine driveshaft, rudders, and trim tabs to protect softer metals exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks the least noble metals first. Because zinc is a less noble metal, it will decompose before other metals. Check these zinc anodes periodically and have them replaced when they are 50% gone.
Zinc is also used to protect metal that is exposed to saltwater. The salt causes a galvanic action that decomposes metals.

VOLVO V-DRIVE ENGINE ALIGNMENT
V-drive engine alignment should be left to a qualified marine technician. Alignment should be checked after the first 50 hours of operation and on an annual basis normally on recomissioning. Also, it should be checked whenever alignment may have shifted due to grounding or striking something underwater, or after the vessel has been lifted or launched. Angular misalignment is corrected using the adjustments in the engine mounts. The coupler faces must be parallel within .002 inch.
Note: Do not attempt the alignment procedure yourself since drive train/engine component damage will result from misalignment. Contact an authorized Regal dealer for more information.

MerCruiser V-Drive-Circuit Breaker/Fuse Information
The engine electrical circuit provides overload protection with circuit breaker and fuses in key locations. If an overload condition develops a circuit breaker will “pop” and/or a fuse will “blow”.
In either case the root cause of the problem should be found and corrected before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
In an emergency situation if the cause of the overload cannot be determined, disconnect all accessories connected to the engine and instrumentation wiring.
Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker remains open, the problem has not been corrected.

- A 50 amp engine circuit breaker protects the engine wiring harness and the power wiring up to the instrumentation. Reset the breaker by pushing "in" on the reset button.

- Located at the largest post of the solenoid is a 90 amp fuse. It protects the wiring harness should an overload occur. It is an epoxy covered fuse for corrosion and vibraiton purposes. Should this device fail the fuse will not show continuity with an ohm tester.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance

- The main power and fuel pump relays control voltage to the engine with the ignition key in the "on" position. Also, voltage to the electric fuel pump is routed through this relay.

Every 30 days open and close each thru-hull valve several times. This will guard against the valve seizing in the open or closed position. Also, make sure the valve handle is tightly fastened. Secure any loose valve handles.


Before servicing the sea water strainer make sure the appropriate seacock has been closed to prevent water entering the boat. If possible blow out the strainer basket with compressed air or use a metal type brush to remove any accumulated material from the screening material. Make sure the strainer is aligned in the center dimple on reinstallation.
Check all parts for wear and possible leaks including any gasket surfaces. Do not overtighten the strainer wing nuts which could cause strainer body damage. Use original replacement marine parts only. After all parts are reassembled open the seacock and check for leaks.
Notice the drain hole in the bottom of the strainer body.
MERCRIJSER V-DRIVE STEERING SYSTEM
The steering system should be checked periodically since a potential hazard could develop using improperly maintained components.
The helm unit should be checked for leaks and hose tightness. Contact your nearest Regal dealer for further information.
Check all the rudder arm parts for tightness. This includes all related tie bars and rudder collar connections. Inspect all packing nuts, cotter keys, nuts and bolts for wear.
Check for fluid leaks and loose hoses periodically. Filling the unit improperly could cause air in the system and possible loss of steering. Contact a Regal dealer for maintenance or follow the steps in the following pages to refill the system.
The system uses a special hydraulic fluid and is filled at the factory. It should be checked at least 2 times a year. There is a fill plug located on the top of the helm. Make sure the fluid level is within a 1/2" of the bottom of the helm fill hole.
The steering cylinder has bleed screws located on the cylinder in the bilge. A special recommended hydraulic fluid (HA 5430) is available through your Regal dealer. It can also be found through a Teleflex/Seastar dealer. In an emergency Dextron II can be used to top off a low system. If the system is leaking fluid it requires immediate attention from a marine professional.
A periodic inspection of all hoses and connections should be made especially at the aft steering cylinder. The steering cylinder has a zerk type fitting that is used to lubricate the pivot of the steering cylinder. Also, inspect the tie bar fasteners for tightness and any cotter keys.
Unlike a mechanical steering system there is no definite end to the travel of the steering wheel. The helm has relief valves that allow the wheel to continue turning after the steering cylinder has reached the end of its travel. This is a normal condition. You will feel a slight increase in effort to turn the wheel once this has occurred.
Additional maintenance information can be found in the manufacturer's owner's manual or on the web-site at www.seastarsteering.com

WARNING
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE! ABRUPT TURNS ABOVE 30 M.P.H. MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL. STEERING RESPONSE AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN BE VERY SUDDEN. ABRUBT TURNS MAY CAUSE YOU TO CROSS YOUR OWN WAKE. JUMPING A WAKE, SUDDEN TURNS, AND INCREASES OR DECREASES IN SPEEDS MAY BE DANGEROUS. OPERATOR MUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL PASSENGERS ARE SEATED SECURELY BEFORE MAKING SPEED CHANGES.

Volvo-Checking V-Drive Hydraulic Steering System
Check the following items at least 2 times a year:
- All mechanical linkages and connections for tightness.
- Check for leaks. Turn steering wheel and pressurize to port. Apply enough pressure to exceed pressure relief valve pressure. You will not harm the system While pressure is applied have someone check all port fittings and line connections.
Repeat the procedure by turning the wheel to starboard. Watch the oil level in the trim pump while pressurizing the steering wheel in either hard over positions. If there is no obvious drop in oil level, air has been removed. If there is an obvious drop in oil level, you are compressing air and further filling and testing is required. Repeat steps If no leaks are obvious, the system is ready for use. - Check all hoses for chafing/rubbing marks, and replace as necessary.
- Check the steering cylinder for nicks and scratches. A damaged cylinder shaft can cause seal failure and leaks. Replacing seals to a damaged cylinder will not stop leaks. A damaged cylinder shaft must be replaced immediately.

WARNING
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE!
IF LEAKS ARE FOUND, CORRECT BEFORE USING!
FAILURE TO CORRECT A LEAK CAN LOWER OIL LEVEL IN SYSTEM AND RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING.
Volvo-Filling V-Drive Hydraulic Steering System
The instructions on the following page show you how to fill and purge a single station Teleflex SeaStar hydraulic steering system This procedure is needed only when there is a large leak in the system and an abundance of fluid is lost from the system The procedure requires two people to make sure all air is purged from the system If air remains the system will be spongy and unresponsive.
During the entire filling procedure, oil needs to be visible in the filler tube. Do not allow the oil level to disappear into the helm pump, as this may allow air to enter the system and increase the filling time. 2 quarts of special Teleflex/SeaStar (HA 5430) hydraulic fluid (recommended) is required to fill the entire system noting that it is completely out of fluid..
This procedure requires a fill bottle kit which can be made up. If you put a vent hole in the quart filler container and insert a plastic tube along with something to initially plug the filler bottle hole you will be ready to fill the unit.
Note: You may elect to have your authorized Regal dealer accomplish this task.
In the instructions "bleeder" refers to cylinders fitted with bleed tee fittings. If bleeder tee fittings exist, open bleeder by unscrewing bleed nipple 2 turns.
Without bleeder tee fittings, disconnect hydraulic line from the steering cylinder fitting. The oil level in the helm unit must be set with the cylinder rod fully retracted. If this is not done, a spill at the helm unit will result.
Filling the helm full of oil can be done faster if oil is poured into the helm prior to connecting filler tube and oil bottle to the helm.

Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FILLING V-DRIVE HYDRAULIC STEERING
Step 1
- Screw the threaded end of the filler tube into the helm filler hole.
- Remove the cap from the oil bottle and holding upright, screw into the filler tube bottle cap. Poke hole in the bottom of the bottle.
- Fill the helm pump full of oil (Oil should always be visible in the filler tube). Use the next bottle at any time throughout the procedure when the oil level drops in the filler tube. Do not proceed with step two until helm is full of oil.

Step 2
- Turn the steering wheel clockwise until the cylinder rod is fully extended on the left side of the cylinder.
- Open left side bleeder.

Step 3
- Holding the cylinder rod (to prevent it from moving back into the cylinder) turn the steering wheel counter-clockwise until a steady stream of air free oil comes out of the bleeder. (Drain out approx. 1/2 bottle of oil or as required.)
- While continuing to turn the wheel, close the left side bleeder and let go of the cylinder rod.

Step 4
- Continue turning the steering wheel counter-clockwise until the cylinder rod is fully extended to the right. (Steering wheel will come to a stop)
- Open the right bleeder.

Step 5
- Holding the cylinder rod (to prevent it from moving back into the cylinder) turn the steering wheel clockwise until a steady stream of air free oil comes out of bleeder.
- While continuing to turn the wheel, close the right side bleeder and let go of the cylinder rod.
Fill and purge is now complete

ELECTROLYSIS PROTECTION
Sacrificial zinc anodes usually found on the engine driveshaft, rudders, and trim tabs to protect softer metals exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks the least noble metals first. Because zinc is a less noble metal, it will decompose before other metals. Check these zinc anodes periodically and have them replaced when they are 50% gone.
Zinc is also used to protect metal that is exposed to saltwater. The salt causes a galvanic action that decomposes metals.

MERCRIJSER V-DRIVE ALIGNMENT
V-drive engine alignment should be left to a qualified marine technician. Alignment should be checked after the first 50 hours of operation and on an annual basis normally on recomissioning. Also, it should be checked whenever alignment may have shifted due to grounding or striking something underwater, or after the vessel has been lifted or launched. Angular misalignment is corrected using the adjustments in the engine mounts. The coupler faces must be parallel within .002 inch.
Note: Do not attempt the alignment procedure yourself since drive train/engine component damage will result from misalignment. Contact an authorized Regal dealer for more information.

GAS GENERATOR
Overview
Your vessel may feature a gas generator. Read and become familiar with the generator owner's manual. It provides a variety of operational, safety and troubleshooting information. The output voltage under a full load can be easily periodically checked by observing the AC voltage meter found on the AC/DC panel. The output voltage should be between 110 -120 volts AC (60 hertz-US), and 220- 240 volts AC at (50 hertz- International). Voltages outside these specifications could indicate a generator malfunction. Make sure all fluid levels are checked before starting the generator. The generator seacock handle must be in-line with the seacock and the sea water strainer must be free from debris.
The generator features an automatic shut down system of sensors controlling high exhaust temperature, high water, low oil pressure, and high RPM. If one of these sensors engages, the generator will shut down. The source of the problem then needs to be determined. Use the owner's manual troubleshooting section as a reference. There is a fuel filter in the system that periodically needs checking and cleaning. Refer to the owner's manual.
Disconnect the battery cables before doing any generator maintenance. Inspect and clean the carburetor flame arrestor periodically by blowing off with compressed air. Inspect all fuel system fittings for leakage periodically. Be sure proper ventilation is present when servicing the fuel system components. Inspect all water and heat exchanger fittings periodically for leaks. Repair or replace components as needed. Be sure the generator is completely cold before performing any maintenance on the water system due to possible hot water and or antifreeze filled components. Be sure to catch and dispose of any antifreeze coolant properly. Refer to the generator owner's manual regarding antifreeze recommendations for type and mixture concentrations.
There is a zinc anode located in the raw water part of the heat exchanger. Replace if 50% erroded. It is self-sacrificing thereby reducing the effects of electrolysis to the generator water system.
Check the drive belt deflection with the generator stopped. At the longest span, push down at the center. You should generate a movement of 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Refer to the generator manual for more information.
When refilling the crankcase with oil follow the specifications given in the owner's manual. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally friendly way.
Note: Read and understand the following safety warnings before performing any maintenance procedures.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL GENERATOR STARTING! DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES BEFORE WORKING ON THE GENERATOR.

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY FROM A HOT GENERATOR AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. DO NOT WORK ON GENERATOR UNTIL THE UNIT COOLS.

Gas Generator-Checking Exhaust System

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A TASTELESS, ODORLESS AND INVISIBLE GAS THAT CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, SEVERE ILLNESS, AND EVEN DEATH. EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE OPERATING GENERATOR OR ENGINES IN CONFINED SPACES OR AT DOCKSIDE. DO NOT ALLOW HULL EXHAUST OUTLETS O BECOME BLOCKED OR EXHAUST FUMES TO BECOME TRAPPED IN AND AROUND THE CONFINES OF YOUR BOAT. URING IDLE & SLOW CRUISE CONDITIONS, BILGE BLOWERS SHOULD BE USED.
At regular intervals inspect the complete exhaust system including the exhaust manifold, catalyst assembly, gaskets, exhaust hose, hose clamps, silencer, and outlet flapper for cracks, leaks and corrosion.
When the generator is operating make sure all CO detectors are energized and operational. See the danger warning above.
Check the exhaust system for the following:
- Check over any leaks and blockages.
- Check the silencer and piping for tight connections.
- Check the hoses for softness, cracks, leaks, or dents. Replace the hoses as needed.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
-
Check for broken or corroded metal parts and replace as necessary..
-
Check for loose, corroded, or missing clamps. Tighten or replace hose clamps as needed.
-
Check the generator overboard discharge. It is located at the starboard aft hull. Make sure there is no blockage especially looking for spider webs and insect nests.
-
Inspect the entire system for exhaust leaks (blowby). Check for carbon or soot residue on exhaust system parts. They are indicators of exhaust leaks. Seal any leaks or replace parts as needed. Recheck after running generator.


-
The generator muffler exits water and exhaust from the unit to the overboard discharge outlet. Check the fiberglass muffler for any weeping areas of carbon or water. They are indicators of leaks. Check the entire hose run from the generator to and from the muffler for leaks. Tighten all hose clamps periodically.
-
The generator exhaust manifold is protected by a siphon device. It forms a loop higher than the generator. If the generator exhaust system tries to back up water through the exhaust manifold the check (reed style) valve opens and allows the water to exit the top of the siphon loop through the clear hose into the bilge.
Vessels in rough seas that are constantly rolling side to side are more susceptible to this water injection through the exhaust system.
To inspect the siphon break system:
-
Stop generator.
-
Remove the retaining cap and the check valve.
-
Use a mild detergent to remove any debris or oxidation from the valve.
-
Check the opening for blockage & remove as needed.
-
Replace the siphon break if the valve is cracked or if hardened or deteriorated.
-
Install the valve into the base with the valve downward.
-
Install the retaining cap finger tight.
Gas Generator-Checking/Changing Seawater Pump Impeller
The water pump impeller is a rubber slinger style device that uses vanes to draw water through the generator via the seacock and water strainer. The impeller is fastened to a shaft that is driven by a camshaft or crankshaft.
Normally as the water pump impeller or housing wears the amount of water decreases over a period of time. In more severe cases the generator will overheat due to a lack of sufficient water.
To check/change the water pump impeller do the following:
-
Close the seacock.
-
Remove the seawater cover plate.
-
Remove the impeller.
-
Inspect the impeller for damaged, cracked, broken, missing or flattened vanes.
-
Lubricate the new impeller with soapy water to aid in installing it.
-
Install the impeller. Use a rotating motion to seat the impeller in its housing in the direction of engine rotation.
-
Inspect the cover plate for wear such as heavy grooves or damaged surfaces from debris. Also, inspect the gasket for any nicks or cuts.
-
Lubricate the gasket with silicon grease and attach the gasket and cover plate to the seawater pump housing.
-
Open the seacock.
-
Start the generator and check for leaks.
-
Stop the generator and repair any leaks or replace any damaged parts.


NOTICE
GENERATOR DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM RUNNING THE UNIT WITHOUT SUFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Gas Generator-Checking/Changing Zinc Anode
The heat exchanger contains a zinc anode for electrolytic corrosion protection. The anode needs to be checked or replaced according to the maintenance schedule.
To check/replace the zinc anode:
-
With the generator set cooled, close the seacock, remove the anti-corrosion zinc plug from the heat exchanger, and drain all coolant into a clean container.
-
Remove any build up on the zinc anode with a wire brush. Replace the anode as follows taking 50% as the replacement value from the original length and width.
a. Length= 1.7 inches b. Width= .34 inches
-
Clean the threaded hole of the heat exchanger and coat the threads of the zinc anode with a marine style pipe sealant. Install the zinc anode into the heat exchanger.
-
Open the seacock. Refill the cooling system.
-
Start the generator and check for any leaks at the zinc anode location. The pump is operating if water flows from the generator hull exhaust outlet. If no sign of water shut down the system and check the seawater pump for priming.
Gas Generator-Checking/Changing Spark Plugs
The generator spark plugs need to be checked/changed at regular service intervals as noted in the maintenance schedule.
To check/change the spark plugs:
-
Remove the spark plug wires by grasping the boot and rotating it while pulling on the boot. The boot will release from the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire itself since damage to the receptacle and wire will occur. Check the boot for debris and clean as necessary.
-
Make sure you lay the spark plug boots in the order you removed them to eliminate the boot being put on the wrong cylinder spark plug.
-
Blow off the areas around the spark plug holes with compressed air to eliminate debris from falling in the spark plug hole.
-
Remove the spark plug with a 5/8" socket with a rubber boot to protect the spark plug from being damaged.
-
Remove and examine each spark plug. A normal firing spark plug should be tan or gray at the spark plug tip. See the diagnostic chart for additional information.
-
Clean each spark plug with a rag. File any debris from the spark plug electromyte area.
-
Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge. Correct gap is .024-.028; the gauge should pass through with a slight resistance indicating the correct gap.
-
As needed regap the spark plug using a gaping tool. Fit the gapping tool into the electromyte and pull up on it slightly to widen the gap. Push down with the tool to narrow the gap. Recheck each gap adjustment with the feeler gauge.


9 Use a torque wrench with a 5/8" deep spark plug socket and tighten to 9-12 ft. lbs. Install the boot.

Diesel Generator-Checking/Changing Fuses

A circuit breaker in line interrupts the generator output in the event of a fault in the wiring between the generator and the load. The line circuit breaker is shown in the typical parts description on the previous page. If the breaker "blows", reduce the load and switch the breaker to the ON position.
The engine junction box on the 9EOZD model contains three 10 amp in-line fuses. Always identify the cause of a blown fuse before restarting the generator. See the troubleshooting section for more information or call your closest authorized dealer.
A replaceable 10 amp fuse protects the controller circuitry. If the controller display is dark, check the battery and battery connections and then check the controller fuse. Replace the fuse if it is blown.
A replaceable 10 amp fuse protects the engine relays. If the generator set does not crank, check the battery and battery connections and then check the relay fuse. Replace the fuse if it is blown.
A replaceable 10 amp fuse protects the alternator.
Note: Some fuses are ceramic, others are of the glass type. Replace with identical type and amperage.

Use oil that meets or exceeds the American Petroleum Institute (API) classification of CD or CF. Using an unapproved oil can shorten the engine life just as not changing oil on a regular schedule.
The chart above shows the recommended viscosity from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for a given operating temperature.
Note: Failure to follow the oil specifications may cause inadequate lubrication/oil pressure and cold-starting difficulties.

Check the crankcase oil level before each outing to verify it is in the safe range.
To check the oil remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick as far as possible and remove it. The oil level needs to be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Do not operate the generator if the oil is above the MAX level or below the MIN level as engine damage could result.
The oil change capacity for the 9EOZD and 7EFOZD is 3.8 quarts
To change the oil and filter follow these steps:
-
Start the generator and run until it reaches normal operating temperature.
-
Disconnect the battery cables or turn off all battery switches.
-
Remove the oil draining hose from it's clip. Remove the cap from the oil drain hose and lower the hose into an oil collection container. You can also use an electric pump to drain the oil.
-
Open the drain valve on the engine. Drain all oil.
-
Close the drain valve.
-
Replace the cap on the oil drain hose. Replace the oil drain hose on its retaining clip.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
To replace the oil filter:
- Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise with a oil filter wrench until it breaks free. Dispose of old filter in an environmentally friendly manner.
- Clean the oil filter adapter housing with a clean cloth.
- Apply a light coat of fresh oil to the rubber seal of the new oil filter.
- Install the new oil filter turning it clockwise by hand for one turn after contacting the adapter housing.
- Fill the crankcase with the proper oil viscosity, grade and quantity.
- Reconnect all battery cables.
- Energize the battery switches.
- Start the generator and check for leaks around the oil filter.
- Stop the generator. Pull out the dipstick. Wipe with a clean cloth. Reinsert fully into the tube. Pull again and check oil level. Add oil as necessary.

Diesel Generator-Bleeding the Fuel System

Periodically the fuel system needs bleeding to prevent starting failures and rough or erratic operation. This can be caused from the generator running out of fuel, air leaks between the fuel tank and the engine fuel pump, and from replacing the fuel filter.
To bleed a typical system follow these steps:
Note: If the ADC 2100 indicates an overcrank fault during this procedure, disconnect the negative wire from the fuel solenoid (allowing the fuel injection pump to fill with fuel) and repeat this procedure after allowing the starter motor to cool down.
Note: Have a cloth handy during the bleeding procedure. Wipe up all spilled diesel fuel after bleeding the system. Wash hands after any contact with fuel oil.
-
Loosen the fuel filter screw at position 1 (See illustration above).
-
Initiate the auto/start sequence until the fuel appears free of air bubbles as viewed from the vent screw at position 2. Tighten the screw.
-
Loosen the fuel filter screw at positon 2.
Initiate the auto/start sequence until until the fuel appears free of bubbles as viewed from the vent screw at position 1.
-
Tighten the screw.
-
Loosen the fuel injection pump screw at position 5.
-
Initiate the suto/start sequence until the fuel appears free of air bubbles as viewed from the vent screw at position 5. Tighten the screw.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Diesel Generator-Checking/Cleaning Air Cleaner
Clean or replace the generator air intake filter according to the maintenance schedule. If unit is used in dusty or dirty environments maintenance will be required sooner. A dry type air cleaner silences and filters the incoming air. The assembly connects to the intake manifold through a flexible hose.

To clean/replace air cleaner follow these steps:
-
Release the spring clips to open the housing and remove the air filter element.
-
Tap the element lightly against a firm surface to loosen any surface debris. Do not clean in any type of liquid or use compressed air as these types of filter elements will be damaged.
-
Examine the element and housing for damage and wear. Replace the element or housing if needed.
-
Wipe the cover and base with a clean cloth to remove any dirt. Make sure that the scaling surfaces fit correctly, and reattach the spring clips.

Make sure that all carbon monoxide detectors are working.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Diesel Generator-Checking Exhaust Siphon Break
-
Install the valve into the base with the valve downward.
-
Install the retaining cap finger tight.

The generator exhaust manifold is protected by a siphon device. It forms a loop higher than the generator. If the generator exhaust system tries to back up water through the exhaust manifold the check (reed style) valve opens and allows the water to exit the top of the siphon loop via the clear hose into the bilge.
Vessels in rough seas that are constantly rolling side to side are more susceptible to this water injection through the exhaust system.
To inspect the siphon break system:
-
Stop generator.
-
Remove the retaining cap and the check valve.
-
Use a mild detergent to remove any debris or oxidation from the valve.
-
Check the opening for blockage & remove as needed
-
Replace the siphon break if the valve is cracked or if hardened or deteriorated.
Diesel Generator-Checking Cooling System
The generator features a closed cooling system. The seawater circulates through separate chambers within the heat exchanger or manifold to cool the engine coolant. The seawater mixes with the engine exhaust and exits at the hull exhaust outlet.
The cooling system capacity is approximately 2.6 quarts.

Maintain the coolant level in the recovery tank at approximately 1/4 full. Before filling the cooling system, close all petcocks and tighten all hose clamps. Use a solution of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% clean, softened water to prevent rust/corrosion build-up and protect against freezing in colder climates. Add additional coolant solution, as necessary, to the coolant recovery tank. Periodically check the coolant level by removing the pressure cap. Do not rely on the level in the coolant recovery tank. Add fresh coolant until the level is just below the overflow tube opening.
Note: A coolant solution of 50% ethylene glycol is required to provide freezing protection to (-34 degrees F.) and overheating protection to (265 degrees F.).
Do not use or mix alcohol or methanol antifreeze or mix them with the recommended coolant.
Note: If the generator is overheated do not add the recommended coolant until the generator is cool to prevent engine or component damage.
Note: After the coolant drains, allow time when refilling the coolant for a complete refill of the engine water jacket.
A complete flushing periodically will keep the cooling system in optimum condition. Use the service schedule. To flush the cooling system do the following:
-
Open the pressure cap and open petcocks located at the heat exchanger, engine block, and cooling system, and let the system drain completely. Remove the pressure cap to simplify draining.
-
Drain, clean and flush the coolant recovery tank.
-
Flush the system with clean water.
-
Fill the system with recommended coolant.
The closed heat exchanger systems use a special pressure cap that raises the boiling point of the coolant, enabling a higher operating temperature. If the cap leaks or fails to hold pressure replace it with one of the same pressure. The pressure rating is stamped on the cap body.
Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Diesel Generator-Checking/Changing Seawater Pump Impeller
The water pump impeller is a rubber slinger style device that uses vanes to draw water through the generator via the seacock and water strainer. The impeller is fastened to a shaft that is driven by a camshaft or crankshaft.
Normally as the water pump impeller or housing wears the amount of water decreases over a period of time. In more severe cases the generator will overheat due to a lack of sufficient water.
To check/change the water pump impeller do the following:
-
Close the seacock.
-
Remove the seawater cover plate.
-
Remove the impeller.
-
Inspect the impeller for damaged, cracked, broken, missing or flattened vanes.
-
Lubricate the new impeller with soapy water to aid in installing it.
-
Install the impeller. Use a rotating motion to seat the impeller in its housing in the direction of engine rotation.
-
Inspect the cover plate for wear such as heavy grooves or damaged surfaces from debris. Also, inspect the gasket for any nicks or cuts.
-
Lubricate the gasket with silicon grease and attach the gasket and cover plate to the seawater pump housing.
-
Open the seacock.
-
Start the generator and check for leaks.
-
Stop the generator and repair any leaks or replace any damaged parts.

| BATTERY CHARGER DIAGNOSTIC CHART | |
| Condition | Solution |
| Not clear if batteries are fully charged. | As the batteries charge, the ammeter gradually falls. When it reads zero, the batteries are fully charged. |
| It takes too long to charge batteries. | The SP series C-Charger brings a discharged battery voltage level up slowly to avoid shortening the life of the battery. The recharge time depends on the degree of discharge. |
| Unable to identify if lack of battery charge is due to a battery problem or an SP series C-Charger problem. | When the ammeter reads zero, test the condition of a battery by first turning off the AC power source to the SP series C-Charger, and disconnecting the battery from the SP series C-Charger for at least one hour. Connect battery to an ohm-volt meter. A reading of 12.6 VDC or more is desirable. A reading between 12.4 and 12.6 indicates a charge between 75 and 100%. A reading between 12.2 and 12.4 VDC indicates a charge between 50 and 75%. Consult the battery manufacturer's Owner's Manual for instructions.If it appears the battery is operating properly, proceed to check the following only after reading and fully understanding all safety instructions listed in this manual. Check input voltage at 120 VAC, check the SP series C-Charger's AC fuse and DC fuse, check the battery fuse/AC circuit breaker (Figure 1, Note 3) and check all associated wiring connections. If these appear to be working, the SP series C-Charger's DC output can be tested by turning off all AC power to the unit and then disconnecting all DC outputs from the charger. Upon reapplying AC power, the DC voltage between any (+) and (-) output connection should be between 13.5 and 15 VDC. Should the unit still be inoperable after all tests have been completed in sequence, refer to the section in this manual on Warranty & Customer Service. |
| The ammeter deflects in a counterclockwise direction. | Disconnect the unit immediately. Examine wiring instructions again to assure proper connections. A movement in a counterclockwise direction or a full-scale movement indicates excessive current. A wiring error is suspected. A voltmeter can monitor the voltage at the battery when the SP series C-Charger is turned on. An increase in voltage should occur as power is applied. |
| Internal red LED on. | The unit is at half-power because the ambient air is too hot. The unit may be at half-power because the fans are not working. Full power will be restored when the temperature returns to normal. |

LED STATUS
The LED on the connector panel provides valuable troubleshooting information on the status of your weather system.
The LED blinks green while the system is operating normally.. If the unit detects a problem, the LED blinks amber to indicate a warning or red to indicate an error. The pattern of the LED blink is a code representing the nature of the problem. For multiple warnings/errors the codes are given in sequence with a 1.5 second pause between the indications.
It is normal during the first minute of initial power that the SR100 status LED shows no activity and remains off. During the second minute the status LED will start to flash the amber or red fault strings. Typically, during normal operation, a flashing green LED will occur within 90 seconds of initial power. If there is no LED indicaiton of any sort displayed after 90 seconds you should check the circuit breaker.
A blinking red LED indicates an internal fault condition. If this condition persists contact the Raymarine Technical Services.
The following table shows the LED status codes and their meanings:

V-DRIVE HYDRAULIC STEERING
| FAULT | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
| 1. During Filling, the helm becomes completely jammed. | • Blockage in the line between the helm(s) and the cylinder(s). | • Make certain that tubing has not collapsed during installation. If so, the collapsed section must be removed and re-fitted with a new piece with the aid of tube connectors. Check fittings for incomplete holes. Fittings with incomplete holes, however, are not common. |
| 2. System is very difficult to fill. Air keeps burping out top of helm even after system appears full. | • Cylinder(s) has been mounted upside down. This causes air to be trapped in the cylinder(s).• Air in system. | • Mount cylinder(s) correctly, according to cylinder installation instruction. Ports should always be kept in uppermost position.• Review filling instructions. |
| 3. Steering is stiff and hard to turn, even when the vessel is not moving. | • Rudder post glands are too tight or rudder post is bent, causing mechanical binding. The same applies to tiller arm and linkage on outdrives.• Restrictions in hose, copper tubing, piping or fittings.• Air in oil.• Wrong oil has been used to fill steering system, like A.T.F. (automatic transmission fluid, or any other oil with a high viscosity factor).• Support tube corroded or seized restricting movement of hydraulic cylinder. | • Io test, disconnect cylinder(s) from the tiller arm and turn the steering wheel. If it turns easily, correct above-mentioned problems. Please note that excessively loose connections to tiller arm or tie-bar can also cause mechanical binding.• Find restriction and correct.Note: Collapsing of copper tubing during bending is enough to cause restrictions.• See filling instructions supplied with helm units.• Drain system and fill with recommended oils.• Remove cylinder, clean and re-grease. |
| 4. One helm unit in system is very bumpy and requires too many turns from hardover to hardover. | • Dirt in inlet check of helm pump. | • Dismantle helm pump and remove contaminant from make-up checks. |
V-DRIVE HYDRAULIC STEERING
| FAULT | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
| 5. Steering is easy to turn at the dock, but becomes hard to turn when vessel is underway. | Steering wheel is too small.cylinder(s) too small.incorrect setting of trim tab(s) on stern drive.incorrectly designed or adjusted rudders, causing binding on rudder post and/or tie bar at cruising speeds. | fit larger wheel if possible, see installation instructions. If the problem cannot be rectified by the above mentioned solution, proceed with next cause and solution or consult factory.replace with larger cylinder(s).adjust tab(s).seek professional help. Have competent, qualified marine mechanic correct problem. |
| 6. Rudder drifts to port or starboard while vessel is underway, even when wheel is not being turned. | Dirt in check valves. | Remove check valve plugs. These are the larger plugs on either side on rear of helm. Clean ball seats and balls and re-assemble.Note:Be prepared to lose a certain amount of oil during this procedure. Have a small can available. Refill system when check balls have been re-assembled. |
| 7. Turning one wheel causes second steering wheel to rotate. | See fault No. 6. | See fault No. 6. |
| 8. Seals will sometimes leak if steering system is not vented at uppermost helm. | The Seastar helm has a field replaceable wheel shaft seal which can readily be replaced by removing the steering wheel and seal cover held in place by three small screws. Quad ring no. 210 is found in Seastar helm seal kit HS5151.NOTE:Seal kits are available for Seastar cylinders, however, these must only be used by a qualified marine mechanic. |

VACUUM CLEANER
If The Motor Stops Suddenly:
-
The most common cause is a clogged hose. Try to unclog the hose with a long stick or by shaking the hose until the clogged debris clears.
-
The bag is overfilled and fine dust has clogged the bag.
-
The vacuum cleaning tools are clogged.
-
The motor (exhaust) filter is dirty and should be cleaned or replaced.
-
It is a good idea to keep the cushion up where the main unit is stored to provide additional air to the unit. This will help prevent the unit for shutting down.

Notes
Storage & Winterization
NOTICE
YOUR WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE TO YOUR BOAT IF IT IS NOT PROPERLY STORED AND WINTERIZED. CHECK WITH A REGAL DEALER OR MARINE PROFESSIONAL ABOUT WINTERIZATION PROCEDURES.
INTRODUCTION
Storage procedures are outlined in this chapter. These are general guidelines to follow in colder climates. Be sure to familiarize yourself with all relevant information in the owner's packet. Special winterization procedures are necessary for the boat equipment and systems. Use the enclosed checklists to help you identify areas of concern and maintenance. These lists cover land stored boats either inside or outside.
NOTICE
REMOVE ALL BATTERIES WHEN VESSEL IS IN STORAGE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
DECOMMISSIONING CHECKLIST
ENGINE
☐ 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 fluids 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.

WARNING
EXPLOSION, FIRE & POLLUTION HAZARD! DO NOT FILL FUEL TANK TO RATED CAPACITY. LEAVE ROOM FOR EXPANSION.
STERN DRIVE
☐ Change engine and stern drive oil along with steering fluids.
□ Remove drive. Perform maintenance as referenced in the manufacturer's owners manual including checking seals for vacuum and pressure.
☐ Check all belts for wear and tension.
☐ Remove propeller. Refurbish as needed.
☐ Touch up paint on stern drive upper and lower gear housings as required.
☐ Check exhaust, fuel, and cooling systems for leaks.
☐ Keep the unit trimmed down to assist in draining any water still in the exhaust system. Also, this position allows the universal to set without extra pressure on the bearings.

☐ Remove drain plug. Clean drain plug hole of debris as needed. Enclose drain plug in plastic bag and tie to steering wheel.
☐ Drain the waste system per instructions in this chapter. Make sure bow is higher than stern to permit proper drainage.
□ Clean all upholstery and store so it breathes.
☐ Conduct a visual inspection to ensure boat is balanced properly on the trailer, cradle or blocks.
☐ Cover boat with tarp. Tie down for wind protection if outside. Prop tarp up as needed to provide proper ventilation. Be sure not to cover up the fuel vents.
☐ Drain the fresh water system per instructions in this chapter.
☐ Send in appropriate equipment for calibration such as the automatic fire extinguisher canister or the CO detectors.
Storage & Winterization
ENGINES
The propulsion systems on your vessel are complex in scope. It is recommended that your Regal dealer winterize your boat's engines. Regal dealers have undergone extensive factory training covering the Regal product line. Also, the dealer is equipped with the parts and tools to perform a carefree winterization procedure.
GENERAL NOTE ON ANTIFREEZE
Engine cooling fluids must be replaced with a marine antifreeze solution; mix antifreeze according to directions for the lowest expected temperature. The above method is much more reliable than just draining the engines and manifolds because sometimes pockets of water can form which can freeze in cold temperatures and cause engine damage. Draining the system fosters rust in engine parts.
NOTICE
USE A SPECIAL NON-TOXIC ANTIFREEZE
IN THE FRESH WATER & WASTE SYSTEM
WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT RV AND
MARINE DEALERS.
DO NOT USE AN AUTOMOTIVE
TYPE ANTIFREEZE.
IT CAN BE HIGHLY
POISONOUS AND CORROSIVE.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM:
- Turn on the fresh water pump switch.
- Open all faucets including transom shower and allow tank to empty.
- Drain the water heater; shut off water pump switch.
- Mix nontoxic antifreeze with water in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Pour solution into the fresh water tank.
- Turn on fresh water pump switch.
- Open each cold water faucet one by one beginning with the one furthest away from the tank and purge the system until a steady stream flows from the faucet. Then close the faucet.
- Repeat step 7 for hot water faucets.
- Shut off water pump switch.
- Pour a quart of antifreeze into shower drain. Run the shower pump until a steady stream flows from the discharge fitting.
- Leave at least 2 gallons of antifreeze solution in the holding tank during storage.
WASTE/TOILET SYSTEM:
- Pump out waste holding tank, flush the tank with fresh water and pump out again.
- With antifreeze in the fresh water tank, operate head until antifreeze flows into bowl of head. Allow time between flushes for the vacuum to build up.
- Operate macerator until antifreeze has a steady flow coming from the discharge fitting. Pour antifreeze solution in head and flush head as needed to produce enough flow to winterize the macerator.
- Leave at least 2 gallons of antifreeze solution in the holding tank during storage.
Storage & Winterization
AIR CONDITIONING:
There are several methods of winterization, some of which work better than others. The 4 various methods employed using a 50/50 nonpouiting biodegradable antifreeze/water solution arc:
- Pumping of antifreeze solution into the overboard thru-hull fitting, and discharging through the intake thru-hull fitting.
- Use of the seawater pump to pump antifreeze solution through the system and discharging through the overboard thru-hull fitting. Close the seacock, remove the hose for the strainer outlet, raise the hose above the AC pump (to prevent lose of prime) and pour in antifreeze solution. Pump solution through system. The strainer and hose to seacock will also need to be drained.
- Use of pressurized air to force water from the intake through the overboard discharge.
Note: Any method that causes the antifreeze solution to flow downward is the method of choice. By this means, the antifreeze solution will displace any water trapped and eliminate the possibility of freezing in hidden areas. In addition, since the seawater pump utilizes a magnetically driven impeller, the impeller would be removed from the wet end assembly, wiped with an alcohol solution, and stored in a warm, dry area until commissioning takes place.
NOTICE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, DISPOSE OF ANY CONTAMINATED ACID SOLUTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND/OR LOCAL REGULATIONS
FUEL SYSTEM:
Fill the fuel tank to minimize condensation but do not overfill. Leave enough space for fuel to expand and add a gasoline/fuel stabilizer to fuel prior to storage following the manufacturer's recommended procedures.
BATTERIES:
Remove the batteries and check the electrolyte level. Store in a cool, dry place. Add distilled water as necessary to to off the battery.
Monthly recharging or continuous trickle charging should be done to insure your batteries life during storage.
GAS/DIESEL GENERATOR
If equipped, the generator must be commissioned for storage in freezing climates. Your Regal dealer or marine professional has special training along with the necessary parts for wintcrizing your generator.
If tackling the procedure yourself, here are the basics of winterizing the generator. Refer to your generator manual for further information. The vessel must be in the water for the procedures below. Remove the sound shield enclosure if equipped.
-
Start the generator and let run for 1/2 hour or until it reaches normal operationg temperatures.
-
Stop the generator. Change the oil as specified earlier along with the oil filter.
-
Close the seacock and remove the hose. Place the hose in a container having a capacity of 1-2 US gallons of an environmentally friendly antifreeze such as PEAK® RV/marine propylene glycol/water mix or equivalent.
-
Disconnect the lead (#87) to the low seawater pressure switch (LWP).
-
With a suitable container at the hull exhaust outlet, run the generator until coolant discharges at the exhaust outlet or until depleting the coolant mixture. Do not allow coolant mixture to flow into the environment.
-
Reconnect the lead (#87) to the low seawater switch (LWP).
-
Turn off the generator fuel valve. Let the unit run until it is out of fuel.
-
Stop the generator.
-
Connect the hose to the seacock. Leave the seacock closed.
-
Check the coolant hose of the heat exchanger and add coolant if necessary (make sure suitable for lowest temperature of the stored environment).
-
Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank.
-
Spray a rust preventative over any exposed areas that may develop rust.
-
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
-
Reinstall the sound shield to keep debris out of the generator.
