    How to restore AC power on my Regal Boat?
    • N
      Nicholas DavisAug 25, 2025
      To restore AC power to your Regal Boat, begin by checking the main shore power breakers to ensure they are energized and not tripped or in the “off” position. Verify that the dock power is activated. Confirm that the shore power cord is securely connected and locked. If there's a faulty connection, repair it. Be aware of potential marina dockside power outages due to transformer malfunction. Also, check and reset the shore inlet breaker if it has tripped.

      If you have no power to the AC outlets or equipment on your Regal Boat, start by resetting or activating the main AC ship’s panel breakers if they have tripped or are in the “off” position. Ensure the shore power cord is properly connected. Check for tripped GFCI outlets and reset them, after identifying and resolving the cause of the trip.

    Why is the engine speed low on my Regal 38 EXPRESS?
    • M
      Misty YoungAug 27, 2025
      If your Regal Boat's engine speed or RPM is low, the hull may have growth that needs to be cleaned by hoisting the vessel. It could also be due to poor quality fuel, so you should call an authorized Regal/Volvo dealer. Another cause may be accumulation of bilge water, so check for leaks. Finally, the trim tab may be in the “up” position, so check trim tab functions and pump fluid levels.

    How to troubleshoot excessive vibration on a Regal Boat?
    • G
      Gregory SolomonAug 27, 2025
      If you are experiencing excessive vibration in your Regal Boat, first check for any material obstructing the propeller and use reverse engines to remove it. If the vibration persists, it could be due to a bent drive propeller shaft, in which case you should contact an authorized Regal/Volvo dealer. Other potential causes include a bent propeller blade (repair or replace the propeller), a noisy drive bearing (repair the drive unit), or a damaged drive casting (replace the damaged casting).
