Why is my Regal 2000 ES bilge pump not working automatically?
- D
  davidfrenchAug 31, 2025
  If your Regal Boat's bilge pump isn't functioning automatically, start by checking the float switch for any debris that might be jamming it, and clear it if necessary. Also, check the automatic bilge pump fuse and replace it if blown, investigating the cause of the overload. Ensure the battery connection isn't corroded; if it is, clean it. Inspect the impeller for damage or blockages and address accordingly. If none of these resolve the issue, the bilge pump motor itself may be bad and require replacement. Finally, check the bilge pump discharge hose for blockages.

Why is there no power at the stereo in my Regal Boat?
- M
  Melissa LeeAug 30, 2025
  If your Regal Boat stereo has no power, begin by verifying that the battery switch is turned on. If it is, check the fuses, specifically the ignition panel breaker, the memory fuse in the engine compartment, the memory fuse underneath the dash, and the ignition protection fuse underneath the dash and replace blown fuses. Also, investigate why the equipment was drawing too much current or why it had a circuit short. Lastly, check for water in the unit and dry it out if necessary.

Why does my Regal 2000 ES stern drive groan?
- V
  Vanessa FrederickAug 29, 2025
  If the stern drive on your Regal Boat is groaning, it might be due to insufficient lubricant on the drive shaft or in the drive itself; adding lubricant may resolve the issue. Another potential cause is a bad gimbal bearing due to water in the bellows, which would require replacing the gimbal bearing. Poor engine alignment could also be the culprit, so ensure the engine is correctly aligned.

How to fix hard starting on my Regal 2000 ES Boat?
- R
  Ruth TranAug 28, 2025
  For hard starting issues with your Regal Boat, consider these potential causes. If the engine is flooded, allow it to dry out completely before trying to start it again. Inspect the fuel lines for any obstructions and clear them. If there's water in the fuel, drain the fuel system. Also, check the fuel filter for debris and replace it if it's bad.

Why is there excessive vibration in my Regal 2000 ES?
- A
  Andrew WatsonAug 27, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive vibration in your Regal Boat, start by checking the drive prop for any grounding, bending, or destruction, and repair or replace it as needed. Inspect the engine mounts for looseness or breakage, and tighten or replace them. Consider whether the oil quality or type is incorrect, and change it to the correct one. Inspect the distributor cap/rotor for corrosion and replace if necessary. Check the serpentine belt for looseness, and tighten or replace it. Finally, realign the engine if there is bad alignment.

  If your Regal Boat engine is running rough, several factors could be contributing. One potential cause is bad fuel quality, so replacing it with good quality fuel is a good first step. Also, check for inadequate fuel pump pressure and repair the fuel pump if necessary. If there's water or debris in the fuel, drain the fuel system to remove these contaminants. Lastly, inspect for any manifold vacuum leaks and repair them.

Why is the oil pressure low in my Regal Boat?
- R
  Rhonda ThomasAug 26, 2025
  If the oil pressure is low in your Regal Boat, there are a few things to check. First, examine the oil level. If it's too high, reduce it; if it's too low, add oil to reach the correct level. Next, look for any oil system leaks and repair them. Ensure the drive oil sensor was reset during the last oil change, and reset it if needed. Lastly, address any issues causing increased engine temperature, as that can also affect oil pressure.

Why is my Regal 2000 ES Boat engine overheating?
- E
  Erika HamiltonAug 25, 2025
  If your Regal Boat engine is overheating, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking for any blockages in the water pick-up feeds and clear them if necessary. Ensure that the cooling system drain plugs are properly installed. Inspect the cooling system for any leaks and repair them. Examine the impeller for damage or blockages. If the propeller is over-propped, change it to one suitable for the operating conditions. Replace the oil filter if there's debris in the oil. Replace a faulty thermostat or gauge. Finally, flush the raw water cooling system if it has corroded.
