Dear Regal Owner,

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 craft 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 certified by the National Marine
Manufacturers Association. It also complies with
the applicable standards set by the United States
Coast Guard and the American Boat and Yacht

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.

Introduction

INT-7

Boating is becoming more popular every year. There are numerous types
of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an every
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 component 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 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 knowledgable with your Regal boat. Also, we have added a special
technical drawing chapter which can be valuable in maintenance and
troubleshooting.

This manual is not intended to be a complete source
of boating maintenance, boat handling techniques, boating safety or
seamanship. These skills require education and experience levels
beyond this manual.

In keeping with its commitment to continued improvement,

Regal
notes that all drawings, specifications, models, standard and optional
equipment referred to in this manual are subject to change without
notice.

month and year of manufacture. The HIN is found on your boat’s
transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail on the transom

GENERAL BOATING SAFETY

We understand that you are eager to get your Regal boat on the water.
However, we strongly suggest that you thoroughly familiarize
yourself and friends or members of your family with safe boating
practices before setting out.
Remember, that along with the freedom and exhilaration of boating
comes the responsibility that you have for the safety of your passengers
and other boaters who share the water with you.
Boating regulations vary from state to state. Check with your local
state and local authorities for the regulations pertaining to your area.

♦ Check with local weather stations, the U. S. Coast Guard, or weather
station broadcasts for the latest conditions. Remember getting caught
in sever weather is hazardous, Check weather conditions periodically
while you are boating and before your outing. If you are forced to
operate your boat in a storm condition, take common sense
precautions; wear PFD’s, store gear, reduce speed and head for safe
refuge.

♦ It is best to avoid operating your boat in foggy weather. When fog
sets in, take bearings, log courses and speeds. You are required to
emit a five second blast from your horn or whistle once every minute.
Also, have your passengers wear PFD’s and observe for oncoming
vessels.

♦ Operate in shallow water presents a number of hazards including
sand bars and water levels influenced by tides. If the vessel strikes
an underwater hazard, check for boat and engine damage. If the
engine vibrates excessively after striking an underwater obstruction,
it may indicate a damaged propeller. If you run aground, seek help
by radio or flares.

♦ Make sure your boat and equipment are in top condition. Do this by
frequently inspecting the hull, engine and all the gear.

of electrical storms and high winds.

♦ Αlways have up-to-date charts aboard. You will need current charts
of the area you’ll be cruising to stay on proper course. Charts can

have a VHF radio aboard. The spoken word “MAYDAY” is the
international signal of distress and is for emergency use only. Under
no circumstances should this word be used, unless there is danger
at hand.

♦ Posted speed limits, swimming areas, “no wake” zones and other
restrictions should be red-flagged. They are so noted for a reason.
Sensible boat use, plus courtesy, equals enjoyable and safe boating.

♦ It is your responsibility to stay abreast of all federal, state and local
rules, as some laws or regulations may change or be different from
state to state. Contact your local boating agencies for updated
information.

♦ We can not stress safety enough! Remember, there are no brakes on
your boat, and the water current and wind velocity all affect your
ability to respond. The driver must use caution at all times to maintain
control of his vessel and especially to maintain a safe distance from
other boats and obstacles.

♦ Always keep all safety gear in optimum condition. Pay special
attention to attached tags and plates indicating expiration dates on
equipment such as fire extinguishers, and personal flotation devices.
Encourage a periodic maintenance check on all safety equipment.
Contact your Regal dealer or marine professional for more
information. Again, remember that the captain is responsible for
his passengers and vessel.

REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Personal Flotation Devices

All personal flotation devices (PFD’s) must be Coast Guard approved,
in good working condition, and must be the correct size for the wearer.
All PFD’s must be readily accessible. This means being able to wear
them in a reasonable amount of time in case of an emergency (fire,
boat sinking, etc.). They should not be stored or locked in closed areas
Also, make sure that all coverings are removed such as plastic from any
PFD’s. Throwable devices such as a ring buoys need to be available for
immediate deployment. A PFD should be worn at all times when your
boat is operating on the water. A PFD may save your life, but it must
be worn to do so.

As minimum U. S. Coast Guard requirements all recreational
boats must carry one type I, II, III, or V PFD (wearable) for each
person aboard. See the explaination following for each type. For type

V to be counted they must be used according to the label instructions.
In addition, all boats over 16’ must carry one Type IV (throwable)
PFD.
Some states require that PFD’s be worn by children of specific ages at
all times. Check with state boating agencies for particular requirements
in your state before taking children on the water.
Remember PFD’s will not necessarily keep you from drowning, even
though they are designed to keep a person from sinking. When
purchasing PFD’s make sure it safely fits the person wearing it. It is a
good idea to test PFD’s in a lifeguarded shallow pool before venturing
on the water.

Refer to the USCG minimum equipment requirements at the end of
this chapter. It is meant to be a guide only. Contact state and local
agencies for additional equipment requirements. Remember as the
captain of your vessel you are responsible for its safe operation.
