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 stern drive 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

contact your Regal dealer.

Shaft Lubricant
Drive and prop shaft lubricant keeps the turning parts on the prop
shaft from wearing out too quickly. It also assists in the removal of
the props by preventing the metal parts from binding. Lubricant
should be placed on the u-joint and spline shaft , along with an
anti-corrosive grease to ensure continued functionality. Consider
having the shaft s serviced periodically to ensure proper lubrication
at the engine coupler and propeller.
