PROPELLER CHECKLIST
At least twice a year check the propeller for:
Loose, missing or corroded hardware.
Nicks, dings or missing propeller material
Bent propeller blades.
Objects wrapped around the prop such as fish line.
Decomposing propeller blades (electrolysis symptom).
Aluminum prop with paint coming off near blade tip
(ventilation symptom).
Check the propeller pressed in rubber hub for slippage.
PROPELLERS
We have carefully chosen and tested
the propeller(s) to give your boat the
best possible performance and have
allowed for the additional weight in
passengers and basic equipment that
might be added to the boat.
With stern drives it is a good idea to carry a spare set of
propellers and hand tools in order to handle an emergency
propeller change. Refer to the manufacturer’s engine
manual for proper procedures since each stern drive
application may be different.
Call a marine professional or your Regal dealer for further
information.

PREVENT SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
SHUT OFF ENGINE NEAR SWIMMERS
TO AVOID ROTATING PROPELLER BLADES.
CONTROLS
INSTRUMENTATION
The helm station is equipped with a complete set of
instruments that allows you to monitor the condition of
the engine(s). Close observation of the gauges may save
the engine(s) from damage.
The dash instrument panel is powered and protected by
an ignition breaker located above each key switch. The
breakers protect the engine instrumentation wiring. The
engine wiring itself may be protected by a main breaker
with a push button reset mounted on the engine or a set
of in-line fuses. Refer to your engine manual for
information on type and location. If a breaker “pops”
figure out the reason why before resetting it. Each dash
switch is also protected by a breaker. For an overview of
the dash (helm) refer to the pictorial in this chapter.
Contact a propeller shop or your closest Regal dealer if
any of the propeller checklist symptoms exist. Propeller
shops have special equipment to refurbish both stainless
steel and aluminum propellers. After making any blade
alternations the propellers are “repitched” in special jigs.
WITH THE BATTERY SWITCHES
IN THE “OFF” POSITION
THERE IS NO POWER TO THE DASH
KEY SWITCHES.
