Hull Bottom
Never use wire brushes or highly abrasive scouring pads on your hull
bottom. It could damage the gel coat surface or the bottom paint. The
bottom of your boat needs to be clean since the build up of natural
coatings from water or marine life can potentially create drag and af-
fect your boat’s performance. Contact a marine professional or Regal
dealer for more information.

Keep all stainless steel and other metal parts rinsed and wiped dry.
To maintain their fi nish annually polish the stainless steel and other
bright works at least annually. Use commercially available metal prod-
ucts and read the labels carefully before use. Refer to the fl yer in the
owners information pouch. Most marinas and boating retail outlets
carry metal care products.
