hardware is tightly secured. At the engine end, make sure all control
cable hardware is tight and control cable engine brackets are secure.
An application of silicone spray on the cable ends periodically will
keep control cables working freely and fi ghts corrosion. Contact a
marine professional or Regal dealer for further assistance.
Seating_______________________________________
Inspect all fasteners and metal for fatigue. Lubricate the slider track
with a marine type lubricant only. Use silicone spray for areas that
cannot be accessed with the lubricant. Check all fasteners periodically
for tightness and the effects of corrosion especially in moist
environments.
Bilge Pump___________________________________
The bilge pump is installed in the engine compartment just below
the engine. Check for foreign materials stuck in the strainer area
or discharge hose. Check all clamps and electrical connections for
tightness. A quick check of the bilge pump automatic fl oat switch
is afforded by lifting up on the fl oat and listening for the pump
operating. Look around the fl oat area for foreign debris and remove
as necessary.
It may sometimes become necessary to replace the bilge pump
impeller. Unfasten the bilge pump housing from the unit by pressing
on the quick release tabs on the grate and pulling up, similar to a
quick disconnect clip on a backpack. Remove the o-ring and access
the impeller. Remove any debris lodged in the impeller and replace
if fractured in any form. Then reinstall the unit as before. The bilge
pump impeller should be changed as often as every couple years.
