EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Your Regal comes with important equipment that may also require
periodic maintenance to ensure it functions when needed. Be sure to
check your owner’s manuals for the installed equipment to make sure
you follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Steering______________________________________
Regal boats use rack or rotary style systems that feature a cable with
assistance through the engine power steering pump. As you turn the
wheel, the force is applied through the system to a hydraulic cylinder
attached to the engine rear and attached through the engine power
steering pump hoses.
When the engine is running, check the engine power steering pump
level before each outing. Add the appropriate power steering fl uid.
Periodically inspect the entire steering system for tightness and sings
of wear and leaks including the steering wheel. Lubricate the steering
shaft at the engine. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional
information about maintenance schedules and procedures.
Battery_______________________________________
Frequently check your battery terminals for corrosion build-up. If
you fi nd a greenish powdery substance, remove the cable connections
and clean both terminals and the connectors with a wire brush. When
the cleaning is fi nished, 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, but
more often in hot weather. The level should be maintained between
the top of the battery plates and the bottom of the fi ll cap opening.
