Introduction
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!

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 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,
American Boat and Yacht Council and the International Marine Certification 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 consult your
authorized Regal dealer for assistance or phone the Regal factory at 407-851-4360.
Thank you, and welcome to the “World of Regal !”

you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It
contains specific details of the vessel, the equipment,
its systems, and information on its operation and
maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarize
yourself with the vessel before using it.
This manual is not to be thought of as a complete shop
technical manual. Your Regal dealer has received special
factory training on our complete product line and his
services should be employed to solve technical problems.
In addition to your Regal owner’s manual, we have
provided an owner’s information packet on the vessel.
This packet contains important equipment literature
along with vendor and warranty information.
Please ensure that you obtain handling and operating
experience before assuming control of your boat. Your
dealer will be pleased to advise you of local training
organizations such as the Power Squadron and United
States Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Contact your local dealer if any of the above material
is missing. In keeping with its commitment to continued
improvement, Regal notes that all specifications,
models, standard and optional equipment is subject to
change without notice.
OWNER’S PACKET
Regal has provided an
information packet on board
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 packet in a
clean, dry area.

Introduction
GENERAL INFORMATION
HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
(HIN)
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal
system of numerically identifying vessels by using a hull
identification number or “HIN.” This number identifies
your Regal boats model, hull number, 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 vertical surface. The HIN consists of 12 alpha
or numeric characters.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the
HIN for future reference. It can be especially useful when
ordering parts from your Regal dealer. A second HIN
number is found in a hidden location. This second HIN
is useful to authorities if the vessel is stolen and the
original transom HIN is modified or eliminated.
VESSEL INFORMATION SHEET
It is recommended that you fill 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 the float plan on the following page before
departing. Leave it with a responsible person who will
notify the United States Coast Guard or local law
enforcement authorities if you do not return as planned.
If you change your plans be sure to notify this person.
Make copies of the float plan and use one each time
you go boating. This will help people know where to
find you should you not return on schedule. Do not file
the float plan with the United States Coast Guard.
HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
RUB RAIL
TRANSOM
HIN
NMMA YACHT CERTIFICATION PLATE
In the dash area you will notice a metal plate which recognizes that your boat was built to design compliance in
effect on the date the certification was verified. The plate
also states that your vessel complies with U. S. Coast
Guard safety system standards in effect on the date of
certification.

PRECAUTIONARY LABELS
Read and understand all safety labels affixed to your Regal
boat. Most of the safety labels are found close to the helm,
aft cockpit, cabin and swim platform. The location of
the labels may vary by model. The label list does not

GENERAL BOATING SAFETY
We understand that you are eager to go boating.
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 severe 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 gear.
2
Safety On Board
♦ You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal
flotation device (PFD) for every person on board. These
PFD’s should be in good condition and easily accessible.
♦ Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear
a PFD at all times. Any time you encounter rough weather
conditions, make sure everyone on board is wearing a
PFD, including yourself. Instruct your passengers in how
to put on their PFDs and be sure they know their
storage location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency,
a PFD that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.
♦ Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not
specifically designed seating. While underway, ALWAYS
insist passengers sit in the provided seating and set an
example by doing this yourself.
♦ Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow
any smoke or flame nearby while you are fueling.
ALWAYS check for fuel leaks and fumes when fueling
is completed.
♦Never drink and drive! As cap-
tain, you are responsible for the
safety of your passengers and
yourself. Alcohol and boating can
be a dangerous combination. DO
NOT mix them. Alcohol impairs
the boat operators ability to make
conscious decisions and react to
emergency situations quickly.
♦ Never overload your boat! An overloaded boat, or
one with uneven weight distribution can be difficult to
steer.
♦Be certain there is enough
fuel aboard for your cruising
needs. Include any reserve that
might be needed should you
change your plans due to
weather or emergency. Practice
the “one-third rule: Use onethird of your fuel going out,
one-third to return and retain one- third as a reserve.
♦Always check the weather before departure. Be
particularly cautious of electrical storms and high winds.
♦ Always 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 be obtained at your closet marine
outlet or store or by contacting one of three federal
government agencies.
♦ Always file a float plan. Leave details of your trip
with someone responsible who will be remaining on shore.
Include expected return, plus name and phone number
of a contact person in case of emergency.
♦ Use care, courtesy and common sense when launching,
docking or operating your boat.
♦ Learn and obey the “Rules of the Road”. A copy
of the “Rules of the Road” can be obtained from the U.
S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or local Power Squadron.

Chapter 2
♦ In case of emergency: Know the international distress
signals if you 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 keep 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.

Safety On Board
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.

traffic, where help is constantly
present. It is designed to be thrown
into the water for someone to grab

on to and held until rescued. It
should not be worn. Type IV
includes ring buoys, buoyant cushions, and horseshoe
buoys.
TYPE V- This is the least bulky
of all PFD’s. It contains a small
amount of inherent buoyancy,
and an inflatable chamber. It is
rated even to a Type I, II, or III
PFD (as noted on the jacket
TYPE V HYBRID
label) when inflated. Hybrid
PFD’s must be worn to be
acceptable.
TYPE III- Known as a flotation
aid it is good for calm, inland water
or where there is a chance for quick
rescue. It is designed so wearers can
place themselves in a face-up
position in the water. The wearer
may have to tilt their head back to
avoid turning face-down in the
water.

MAINTAINING YOUR PFD’S
A PFD is only useful if it is well maintained. Always be
aware of PDF age since it has a life expectancy like any
other piece of equipment.
√ Check periodically for broken zippers, frayed webbing,
water soaked kapok bags, missing straps, and sewing that
has become undone.
√ Clean each PFD with mild soap and water only. Again,
let dry sufficiently before storing.
√ Keep PFD’s out of grease and oil since they can
deteriorate the jacket inner and outer materials.
√ Check any kapok-bagged jackets by squeezing. If you
hear air escaping the bag is defective and the PFD should
be thrown away.
√ Grab the cover with the fingers. If the cover material
rips, the PFD is rotted and should be thrown away.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fire extinguishers are classified by a letter and numeric
symbol. The letter references the type of fire the unit is
designed to extinguish.
(For example, type B extinguishers commonly used on
boats are designed to put out flammable liquids such as
grease, oil and gasoline.
The number indicates the general size of the extinguisher
(minimum extinguishing agent weight).

Safety On Board
U. S. Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers are required
on all Regal boats. Besides the minimum Coast Guard
requirements always check state and local agencies for
additional requirements and equipment.
Coast Guard approved extinguishers are hand-portable,
either B-I or B-II classification. U. S. Coast Guard approved
hand-portable and semi-portable extinguishers contain a
metal plate that shows the manufacturers name and
extinguisher type, capacity and opearting instructions. They
have a special marine type mounting bracket which keeps
the extinguisher solidly mounted until needed. The
extinguisher needs to be mounted in a readily accessible
location but one out of being bumped by people while
underway. All approved extinguishers need to have an
indication gauge.
U.S.C.G APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER
TYPES & FEATURES
The dry chemical agent is widely
used because of its convenience and
low cost. The extinguisher canister
is filled with a white dry chemical
power along with a pressurized gas.
It is a good idea to shake this type

rubber, plastics, cloth wood, and paper. It leaves a messy
residue. Not for electric fires.
The carbon dioxide unit uses
CO2 gas under high pressure, with a
funnel discharge hose usually swivel
mounted. This extinguisher leaves no
residue and does not cause interior
engine harm. To ensure workability,
weigh the unit annually. A 10%
maximum weight variance is allowed.
Another type of liquified gas used today is FE-241.This
gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than air and sinks
to the lower bilge to extinguish fires. Since the year 2000
ingredients have changed to a more environmental
friendly formula (Chlorotetrafluoroethane or FE-241).
FE-241 is used in portable-hand units along with making
up the majority of boat automatic fire extinguishing
systems. The canister needs to be weighed once a year.
These clean agent units feature a dash mount indicator.
Refer to the information regarding fire prevention in this manual.
VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS
All vessels used on coastal waters, any of the Great Lakes,
territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them
up to point where a body of water is less than two miles
wide, must have Coast Guard approved visual distress
signals.
The foam type uses a chemical
foaming agent plus water and is best
when used for fires involving
flammable liquids- solvents, gasoline,
oil, grease and various paints. It will
work on fires involving rubber,
plastics, cloth, wood, and paper. It
leaves a messy residue. Do not use
this extinguisher for electric fires.
