Volvo based systems normally keep the power steering reservoir
mounted on the engine near the serpentine belt. Volvo systems
place two marks on the exterior of the translucent reservoir to make
checking the fl uid easy. Mercury systems normally keep their reservoir
in a similar location. Mercury systems allow the user to check power
steering fl uid with the engine warm or cold, using specifi ed markings
on the dipstick located inside the fi lling cap. The level when cold
should be at the bottom tip of the dipstick, while at the middle of
the dipstick when warm. See the fi gures below for details regarding
the proper level for the Volvo or Mercury based system. Both
manufacturers normally identify power steering fl uid with an orange-
brown color.

Engine Electrical System________________________
The maintenance on engine electrical systems is designed to be
minimal. Electrical problems should be handled by your Regal dealer
or marine professional as they crop up. Routine maintenance for
engine electrical systems is limited to keeping a good battery hooked
up at all times. Beyond the possible replacement of a bad battery,
when fuses “blow”, the engine should be inspected by your Regal
dealer before replacing the fuse. Beyond this, your engine computer
should be cleared of codes annually by your Regal dealer.
