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 tested and chosen
the propellers to give your boat the
best possible performance and have
allowed for the additional weight in
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 engine manual for proper
procedures since each stern drive application is unique.
Call a marine professional or your Regal dealer for further
information.
DANGER
!
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 engines. Close observation of the gauges may save
the engines from damage.
The dash instrument panel is powered and protected by a
main 20 amp ignition breaker located at the dash itself. It
is connected through the key switch.
The engine wiring is protected by a main breaker with a
push button reset mounted on the engine. 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 refer to the pictorial in this chapter.
WITH THE BATTERY SWITCH
IN THE “OFF” POSITION
THERE IS NO POWER TO THE DASH.
NOTICE
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.
