    • S
      Sara MccarthySep 12, 2025
      If the water continues dripping briefly into the bowl after the flush cycle is complete on your Regal Boat, it is normal operation if only a small amount drips from the nozzle when the toilet is installed below water line with vacuum breaker in water supply line.

    What causes excessive vibration on my Regal 26 EXPRESS Boat?
    • D
      Dr. Scott HuertaAug 31, 2025
      If there is excessive vibration on your Regal Boat, check for any material obstructing the propeller and remove it by reversing the engines. If there is no obstruction, the propeller shaft may be bent and requires authorized dealer. Also, the propeller blade may be bent and requires repair or replacement. Finally, the drive bearing may be noisy and requires drive unit repair or the drive casting may be damaged and requires replacement.

      If the refrigerator in your Regal Boat isn't cold, start by ensuring the compressor is running by turning on the breaker at the main ship’s service panel. Check that the thermostat is properly set and the on/off switch is activated. Inspect the door latch and seal, and clean the condenser coils.

    • A
      Allison HarrisonAug 26, 2025
      If your Regal Boat has no DC (12 volt) power, make sure the battery switch is in the “on” position. If it is, the battery may be weak or dead, and you should charge or replace it.

    • C
      Christopher ButlerAug 26, 2025
      If your Regal Boat's AC outlets or equipment have no power, first check if the main AC ship's panel breakers have tripped or are in the “off” position; reset or activate them. Also, ensure the shore power cord is properly connected. Lastly, check for a tripped GFCI, find the cause, and reset it.
