PROPELLERS
Regal has carefully tested and chosen the propellers to give your stern
drive boat the best possible performance based on the engine and
propulsion package you choose. We have allowed for the additional
weight in equipment that might be added to the boat. It is a good idea
to carry a spare set of propellers and hand tools onboard, in order to
handle emergency propeller changes. Refer to the sterndrive manual
for procedures, as the application is unique to the manufacturer. Call
a marine professional or your Regal dealer for further information.
Propulsion Checklist
At least twice a year, check the propeller for:
Loose, missing, or corroded hardware.
Nicks, dings, or missing propeller material
Bent propeller blades.
Objects wrapped around the prop such as fi sh line.
Decomposing propeller blades (electrolysis symptom).
Aluminum prop with paint coming off near blade tip
(ventilation symptom).
Check the propeller rubber hub for slippage
Contact a propeller shop or your closest Regal dealer if any of the
above symptoms exist. They have purchased special equipment to
refurbish both stainless steel and aluminum propellers.
