Equipment Operation
Chapter 7
There are many components on your vessel. Some are
standard and others are optional equipment. For the most
in depth information, refer to that particular equipment
manufacturer’s manual located in the owner’s document
pouch.
Equipment or vendors may change during a boat’s life
cycle. Therefore, some of the components discussed here
may or may not be on your vessel or look the same visu-
ally or in description form. Regal retains the right to change
vendors, equipment, specifications and other technical data
at any time.
INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
AIR CONDITIONING OVERVIEW
If equipped, the marine air
conditioning system included
in this chapter applies only to
factory installed equipment.
The air conditioner relies
upon a source of AC power
supplied by shorepower or an
on board generator along with
a supply of water (salt or
fresh). The unit output is
10,000 BTU’S.
The unit features the ability to provide heat in a reverse
cycle mode especially useful in extending the boating sea-
son in colder climates. This reverse cycle operation is af-
fected by the temperature of the water.
AIR CONDITIONER BASIC OPERATION
1. To use the air
conditioner locate
and open the
through-hull
seacock valve that
supplies water to
the air conditioner
pump. The A/C
seacock and pump
are located be-
neath the cabin
entry steps. The
steps hinge for
easy access.
2. A strainer is installed between the seacock and the AC
pump. This strainer stops foreign matter from being in-
gested into the AC pump or air conditioning system. Peri-
odically inspect and clean the strainer. See chapter 8.
3. The best way to activate the A/C system is to make sure
both shorepower cords are plugged in and both dockside
breakers and transom inlet breakers are energized. Refer
to the systems chapter for more information.
As the water temperature decreases so does its ability to
produce heat. It is recommended that the reverse cycle
not be used when the water temperature is below 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
