1 Introduction Boating is becoming more popular every year. ere are numerous types of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an every growing number of activities. erefore, 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! Chapter 1

4 Chapter 1 Regal has provided an information pouch aboard the vessel. Read and become familiar with the materials. is 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. Your Regal owner’s manual has been compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains specic details of the craft, the equipment , its systems, and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the craft before using it. is 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 a folder called the Owner’s Information Pouch on the vessel. is folder 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 are subject to change without notice. YOUR REGAL OWNER’S MANUAL e United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of numerically identifying vessels by using a hull identication number or “HIN.” is number identies your Regal boats’ model, hull number, month and year of manufacture. e HIN is found on the starboard side of the transom just below the rub rail or swim platform on the vertical gelcoat surface. e HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters. It is recommended that you locate and write down the HIN for future reference. Make a listing in the owner’s manual. It can be especially useful when ordering parts from your Regal dealer. A second HIN number is found in a hidden location. is second HIN is useful to authorities if the boat is stolen and the original transom HIN is modied or eliminated.
