Gearcase Oil
Gearcase oil keeps all the mechanical components of the propshaft
gear assembly functioning optimally. It reduces friction in the
gearcase as the gears revolve. Sometimes gearcase oil is called gear
lubricant, as the oil essentially lubricates the gears inside the gear
box. Gearcase oil should be inspected periodically according to
factory maintenance schedules.
Power Trim Fluid
Power trim fl uid allows your outboard to angle up or down. Th is
is particularly useful when trying to get your boat to plane where
the hull is as much out of the water as physically possible, reducing
friction, and improving ride performance. Th
is power trim fl uid
is used in hydraulic rams that maneuver the outboard unit, and
shouldn’t need to be replaced very oft en, if at all.
Power trim fl uid should be checked regularly, despite not requiring
replacement unless something serious happens. Discoloration or
water presence indicates a water leak in the stern drive. In that case,
contact your Regal dealer.
PROPELLERS
Regal has carefully tested and chosen the propellers to give your
outboard boat the best possible performance based on the engine
and propulsion package you choose. We have allowed for the
additional weight in equipment that might be added to the boat.
It is a good idea to carry a spare set of propellers and hand tools
onboard, in order to handle emergency propeller changes. Refer to
the outboard manual for procedures, as the application is unique to
the manufacturer. Call a marine professional or your Regal dealer
for further information.
