WELCOME TO REGAL
I know I speak for everyone at Regal when I welcome you to the
ever-growing family of Regal boat owners. You’ve chosen a vessel
that is recognized worldwide for its standard of excellence. Each
step in construction has been carefully scrutinized to assure comfort,
performance, reliability and safety for both your passengers and
yourself.
Your boat is certifi ed by the National Marine Manufacturers
Association. It also complies with the applicable standards set by
the United States Coast Guard, American Boat and Yacht Council
plus the International Marine Certifi cation Institute. Your Regal
boat was built with the same attention to detail and quality of
construction that we would expect in a boat we would purchase
ourselves.
Whether you’re a veteran boater or a newcomer, we strongly urge you
to read this boat owner’s manual thoroughly. Familiarize yourself
with the various components of your boat, and heed the safety
precautions noted herein.
If you have questions that are not covered in this manual, please

Introduction
Boating is becoming more popular ever year. There are numerous
types of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an
ever growing number of activities. Therefore, as a new boat owner
it is of the highest priority to learn about general boating practices
before operating your craft.
Your Regal dealer will answer many questions and provide valuable
“hands on” information during the completion of the new boat
delivery process. In addition, your dealer has received special factory
training on the product line and his services should be employed
to solve technical problems and periodic maintenance beyond the
scope of this manual. Also, your Regal dealer carries a line of factory approved parts and accessories.
Your Regal dealer can provide information regarding national training organizations such as the U.S. Power Squadron and United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary. Along with other organizations and literature, they can help build your “boating savvy” by developing the
necessary skills and awareness to be a safe and compotent skipper.
Your local library can also help in providing recommended boating
literature such as Chapman Piloting (Seamanship & Boat Handling
by Elbert S. Maloney). Remember, the waterways can change from
normal to abnormal conditions in a heartbeat. Knowing how to
react quickly comes from experience and knowledge which can be
gained through boating education.
Welcome aboard!
YOUR REGAL OWNER’S MANUAL
Your Regal owner’s manual has been developed to assist you in
operating your vessel with safety and pleasure. BE SURE TO
READ AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTENTS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CRAFT. Your owner’s manual
has been divided into general chapters to assist you in becoming more
knowledgeable with your Regal boat. Also, we have added a special
technical drawing chapter for maintenance and troubleshooting.
THIS MANUAL IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE
SOURCE OF TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE, BOAT
HANDLING TECHNIQUES, BOATING SAFETY, OR
SEAMANSHIP. THESE SKILLS REQUIRE EDUCATION
AND EXPERIENCE LEVELS BEYOND THIS MANUAL.
ALSO, REMEMBER YOUR REGAL DEALER HAS BEEN
TRAINED ON THE VARIOUS BOAT SYSTEMS ALONG
WITH THE PROPER TOOLS TO MAKE REPAIRS.
In keeping with its commitment to continued improvement, Regal
notes that all drawings, specifi cations, models, standard, and optional
equipment referred to in this manual are subject to change without
notice. Information is only accurate to the revision date.
OWNER’S INFORMATION PACKET
Regal has provided an information pouch aboard the vessel. Read
and become familiar with the materials. This packet contains
valuable literature on your propulsion package, standard, and optional
equipment systems and various care and cleaning instructions. Be
sure to store the information pouch in a clean dry area for quick
reference.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Hull Identifi cation Number (HIN)________________
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of
numerically identifying vessels by using a hull identifi cation number
or “HIN.” This number identifi es your boat’s manufacturer, boat
model, hull number, month, and year of manufacture. The HIN is
found on a metal plate affi xed to your boat’s starboard side just below
the rub rail on the transom near the vertical edge of the chine. The
HIN consists of 12 alpha and numeric characters. It is recommended
that you locate and write down the HIN for future reference. It can
be especially useful when buying boat insurance and ordering parts.
A second HIN number is found in a hidden location. This second
HIN is useful to authorities if for example the boat is stolen and the
original transom HIN is modifi ed or eliminated.
Vessel Information Sheet________________________
It is recommended that you fi ll out the information on the following
page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel. Make a copy of the
data for safe keeping at home.
Vessel Float Plan_______________________________
Fill out a fl oat plan similar to the one on the following pages and
leave it with a responsible person who will notify the United States
Coast Guard or local law enforcement authorities upon your extended
absence. If you change your plans, be sure to notify this person.
Make copies of the fl oat plan included in this owner’s manual for each
time you go boating. This will help people know where to fi nd you
should you not return on schedule. Do not fi le the fl oat plan with the
United States Coast Guard.

Introduction
Capacity Plate_________________________________
Close to the helm on Regal boats up to 26’ in length is a capacity plate.
This plate represents manufacturers who participate in the National
Marine Manufacturer’s Association small boat certifi cation program.
A similar yacht certifi cation plate for boats over 26’ covers many of
the same guidelines and others from ABYC into the yacht program.
Your boat has been certifi ed by NMMA approved inspectors to be
in compliance with their system guidelines along with federal safety
regulations. The driver of the craft must read the plate information
before operating the vessel. The plate is located at the helm, and an
image can also be found on the safety aboard chapter.
The capacity plate data applies under normal conditions. BE SURE
TO READ AND ABIDE BY THE CAPACITY LIMITS.
REMEMBER, THE BOAT OPERATOR IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE VESSEL AND PASSENGERS.
Note the following typical capacity plate information below:
The plate states the maximum number of persons allowed
on the boat, or an equivalent weight regardless of the
number of passengers
The total weight of persons, gear, and other items under
normal conditions that the boat is capable of carrying.
Overloading, improper loading, and weight distribution are
well documented causes of accidents. Provide for an extra
margin of safety in rough sea conditions.

Passenger Location_____________________________
For maximum stability, performance, structural integrity, and safety,
all passengers should be seated according to designated seating

distributed as evenly as possible from aft to bow and port to starboard.
As your capacity plate says, only eight people can ride your boat at
once; one person at the helm, one person in the companion seat, three
people along the aft cockpit seats, and a total of three people in the
bow seating area. Each person should brace themselves with hand rails
while the boat is in motion. ALWAYS remain seated while the boat
is in motion. While underway, DO NOT use the swim platform or
transom sunpad. NEVER operate the boat under unsafe conditions
for passengers.

Fire Extinguishers______________________________
All Regal boats are built to accommodate ABYC and U.S. Coast Guard
standards. Besides these minimum requirements, always check state
and local agencies for additional requirements. Fire extinguishers are
classifi ed by a letter and numeric symbol. Class B extinguishers are
commonly used on boats, as they are designed to put out fl ammable
liquids such as grease, oil, and gasoline. The numeric symbol refers
to the minimum extinguishing agent weight. Coast Guard approved
hand-portable extinguishers are either a B-I or B-II classifi cation.

system if the option is installed. Otherwise, two B-I fi re extinguishers
are required. It is important to understand how to use the fi re
extinguisher you equip. General fi re extinguishing strategy involves
pulling the pin, aiming the discharge end at the fi re, and squeezing the
handle to release the extinguishing agent.
If there is a fi re in the engine compartment, utilize the fi re port along
the transom walk-thru if using a hand portable extinguisher, or the
manual discharge lever for the optional automatic fi re extinguishing
system. The fi re extinguisher(s) you equip can be one of four class
B designs approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, dry chemical, foam,
carbon dioxide, and Halon gas.
The dry chemical extinguisher is fi lled with a white dry chemical
powder along with a pressurized gas. It is a good idea to shake this
type periodically to ensure proper function at any time, because
powder along with a pressurized gas. It is a good idea to shake this
type periodically to ensure proper function at any time, because
the contents will tend to become packed on the canister’s bottom.
Cleanup should be vacuumed out or swept up. It is suitable for ordinary
combustibles, fl ammable liquids, fl ammable gases, and electrical fi res.

Safety On Board
The foam extinguisher is fi lled with a chemical foaming agent with
water. It fl oats on top of fl ammable liquids to extinguish the fi re, but
will leave behind a messy residue that must be washed away. It is suitable
for ordinary combustibles, fl ammable liquids, and fl ammable gases.
The carbon dioxide unit uses CO
2
gas under high pressure, with a
funnel to direct the discharge. This extinguisher leaves no residue and
does not cause interior engine harm. To ensure functionality, weight the
unit annually. A 10% maximum weight variance is allowed for properly
equipped units. It is suitable for fl ammable liquids, and electrical fi res.
A Halon extinguisher is becoming more common and environmentally
friendly. This colorless and odorless, heavier than air gas sinks to
the lower bilge to extinguish fi res. Halon is featured in both hand-
portable and automatic fi re extinguishing systems. This canister needs
to be weighed once a year to ensure proper functionality. Halon units
must feature a dash mounted indicator. It is suitable for ordinary
combustibles, fl ammable liquids, and electrical fi res.
Your automatic fi re extinguishing system if equipped on your Regal
is a heptafl uoropropane fi re extinguisher - an acceptable replacement
for Halon. Yearly maintenance is required. A light mounted at the
dash senses that the extinguisher is charged. When the light goes off
the system is discharged and must be replaced.
Pyrotechnic Visual Devices______________________
Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be U.S. Coast Guard
approved, be ready for service and be readily accessible. They all
display a marking which is the service life. It is important to
ensure that all pyrotechnic devices have not expired before beginning your
voyage. A minimum of three devices for daytime use and three
devices for night time use are required to be ready to use on your boat.
