Engine & Controls
As part of select outboards under the motor shroud
(engine cover) on the lower port side of the outboard
engine is a fuel lter. Periodically check to ensure the
fuel lter is clean and free of water. When reinstalling
the lter tighten to manufacturer’s specications. Check
for leaks aer starting the engine. For more information
refer to the outboard manufacturer’s owners manual or
contact a Regal dealer or marine professional.
CHECKING ENGINE MOUNTED FUEL FILTER
CHECKING INLINE WATER SEPARATOR
FILTER
Inside the Lazarette
center cockpit
storage area a 10
micron in-line water
separator filter is
installed Use an oil
spanner type wrench
and turn the filter
counterclockwise to
remove the element.
Using a clean pan
empty the filter
contents and examine
the fuel. Water in
fuel tends to hug the
bottom since it is heavier than fuel and will show a
dierent look. At least yearly or on an as needed basis
replace the lter element. Fill the element up with fresh
unleaded fuel of the correct octane rating (assists with
keeping air out of the fuel system) and turn it clockwise
by hand until tight. As always check for leaks before
starting the engine.
It makes sense to keep extra fuel lters on board in
protective wrap for emergency use.
