What to do if there is no 12 volt power at the battery of my Regal Boat?
If there is no 12 volt power at the battery of your Regal Boat, ensure the battery switch is turned on. If the switch is on, the battery may be weak or dead, requiring a charge or replacement. Check and secure the battery cables to ensure they are properly connected.
Why won't the battery on my Regal Boat hold a charge?
If your Regal Boat's battery will not hold a charge, it might be faulty or old, so consider replacing it. Ensure that the battery cables are tightened securely. Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals.
Why is the 12 volt equipment not working on my Regal Boat?
If the 12 volt equipment on your Regal Boat is not working, start by replacing the fuse and investigating the cause of the blown fuse. If all 12 volt equipment fails, the battery may be weak or dead, so charge or replace it. Check and repair any corroded or loose wire connections. Inspect and repair any internal equipment shorts or failures.
What to do if the toilet on my Regal Boat does not flush or has poor flush performance?
If your Regal Boat toilet does not flush or the flush performance is poor, first empty the waste tank if it's full. Clear any clogs at the pump inlet, avoiding flushing foreign objects. If there's a solid object in the macerator pump, turn off the power and attempt to remove it; if unsuccessful, contact Thetford service USA. Check that the toilet supply voltage is 12 volts DC and doesn't decrease more than 10% with the macerator running.
What to do if water does not enter the bowl during flush or water add cycle in my Regal Boat toilet?
If water does not enter the bowl during the flush or water add cycle of your Regal Boat toilet, check to ensure the water supply line is connected to the fresh water supply and is not kinked. Check the fuse panel to ensure the fuse has not blown and inspect all fresh water pump connections. Check the wiring harness connections at the solenoid.
