Storage & Winterization
ENGINES & GENERATOR:
The propulsion system is quite complex because of the
numerous systems involved. It is recommended that your
dealer or marina winterize your boat engines, generator
and other systems. The Regal dealer has undergone
extensive factory training covering a variety of Regal and
related products. Also, the dealer is equipped with the
parts and tools to perform the specialized winterization
fuctions.
Engine cooling fluids must be replaced with a marine
antifreeze solution; mix antifreeze according to directions
for the lowest expected temperature. The above method
is much more reliable than just draining the engines and
manifolds because sometimes pockets of water can form
which can freeze in cold temperatures and cause engine
damage. Draining the system fosters rust in engine parts
Remove the batteries and check the electrolyte level. Store
in a cool, dry place. Monthly recharging or continuous
trickle charging should be done to insure your batteries
life during storage.
FUEL SYSTEM:
Fill the fuel tank below the capactiy to minimize
condensation but do not overfill. Leave enough space for
fuel to expand and add a gasoline/fuel stabilizer to fuel
prior to storage following the manufacturer’s
recommended procedures.
Remove the batteries and check the electrolyte level. Store
in a cool, dry place. Monthly recharging or continuous
trickle charging should be done to insure your batteries
