ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Each engine and stern drive package is unique and quite complex. A
select portion of the maintenance items are covered in this chapter
including basic periodic maintenance and lubrication specifi cations.
Because of the advanced ignition and fuel injection systems used
on marine engines, it is best to contact your Regal dealer or engine
manufacturer for more detailed service procedures for your specifi c
engine. Refer to your engine owner’s manual for complete details
and specifi c information about your engine’s maintenance schedule
and break-in instructions. The information presented here is merely
a guide to be used on typical engines, and may not directly apply to
your engine package. Also, DO NOT apply lubricant or fl uids not
approved by your engine manufacturer.

Engine Cooling System__________________________
Your cooling system requires inspection and maintenance with each
trip, with extended maintenance every 50 hours. In addition, the water
pump impeller needs replacement every two years.
To inspect your cooling system, all lines need to be visually inspected
for cracks, melting, crimped spots, and leaks. These lines lead from
your raw water intake system to your water pump, which circulates
water internally through the engine.
