AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!

READ ALL MANUFACTURER’S ENGINE

AND PROPULSION MANUALS

BEFORE STARTING OR OPERATING

THE VESSEL.

CAUTION

Note: Your Regal dealer has been factory trained on the

various boat systems. Consult your Regal dealer for further

information regarding technical support and parts.

This chapter introduces the vessel’s propulsion system.

This is not to be thought of as a complete workshop

manual. This manual will highlight a portion of the engine

and propulsion information. Read the Volvo or MerCruiser

engine manual carefully and understand the operation as well as the

necessary maintenance requirements of the engines and related drive

system components before operating the vessel.

Always begin maneuvering in a controlled environment

where you can practice shifting and docking operations

at your own pace. Learn how the vessel’s engines and

propulsion systems behave at different speeds, in varied

sea conditions, and under light and heavy loads. Always

keep the safety of others in mind as you practice docking

and maneuvering.

Learn to monitor the helm gauges, electronic equipment,

and warning systems as they are your on board friends.

Read all safety labels and practices. Review with a crew

member all the component operations in case the captain

would became unable to carry out his duties as skipper.
