ermostat
If the temperature gauge starts yielding abnormal readings, it may
become necessary to look at or replace the powerhead thermostat
a er determining whether it is functioning properly. e thermostat
reads the temperature of coolant and determines whether to open
or close a valve to allow warm sea water to pass into the exhaust
manifold. e thermostat may recirculate hot coolant for the
purposes of reaching standard operating temperatures. If standard
operating temperatures have been reached, the thermostat will open
a valve and allow hot raw water to exit through the exhaust manifold.
For more information read your outboard engine manual or contact
the closest Regal dealer .Dealers have the necessary knowledge and
tools to troubleshoot any engine related problems.
Freshwater Flushing Attachment
Your outboard features a fresh water ushing system. A er linking
up to a fresh water hose at the ush port, water can be pumped
through the engine’s raw water cooling system to ush out all salt
and debris that may be le behind. Normally there is a hose thread
tting on the side of the engine. A er the connection is opened
a garden hose is connected to the tting and the engine can be
ushed. It is best to connect the ushing system up when the engine
is warm since the thermostat is open at this time to allow water to
circulate through the entire head rather than bypassing the cylinder
head areas.
AVOID TOUCHING THE THERMOSTAT OR ITS COMPONENTS WHILE
THE ENGINE IS ON / HOT. AVOID RUNNING THE ENGINE WITHOUT
A FUNCTIONING THERMOSTAT, AS IT MAY OVERHEAT.
