CHAPTER 3
Engine Alignment
The engine uses a rubber splined hub to which the outdrive drive shaft
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 stern
drive) requires major service where it needs to be removed, consult
your Regal dealer.
Engine Ventilation
Ventilation systems are required for engine compartments. Your boat
features a set of deck vent shrouds with mesh covers 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. Pay close attentio to 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 covers
are obstruction free, ducts are not blocked or tore, blower operates
properly and any worn parts are replaced with approved marine parts.
