Engine Alignment
The engine uses a rubber splined hub to which the outdrive driveshaft
is attached. This alignment specification between the engine and
outdrive needs to checked periodically. It should be checked after each
50 hours of operation or if the vessel has run aground or hit a
submerged object. Alignment should be checked by a Regal dealer or
marine professional since special tools and procedures are required.
Engine Removal
In the event the engine or outdrive (sometimes referred to as sterndrive)
requires major service where it needs to be removed, consult your
Regal dealer.
Engine Ventilation
Ventilation systems are required for engine compartments. Most Regal
boats feature a set of deck vent shrouds which supply fresh air
constantly to the engine compartment. A powered blower motor
connected to ducts in the lower one third of the bilge evacuates air to
the atmosphere. Understand the following warning:
!
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING
ENGINE, OPERATE BLOWER 4 MINUTES AND CHECK
ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINE LEAKS OR
VAPORS. RUN BLOWER BELOW CRUSING SPEED.
All owners are responsible for keeping their boat’s ventilation systems
in operating condition. This means making sure the ventilation openings
are obstruction free, ducts are not blocked or tore, blower operates
properly and any worn parts are replaced with approved marine parts.
