Chapter 2
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 FM weather stations, U. S. Coast Guard,
or on-line for the latest weather conditions. Remember
getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Check
weather conditions periodically while you are boating. If
you are forced to operate your boat in a storm condition,
take common sense precautions; wear PFD’s, store gear,
reduce speed and if possible 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
fi
ve second blast from your horn
or whistle once every minute. Also, have your passengers
wear PFD’s and observe for oncoming vessels.
Operation in shallow water presents a number of hazards
including sand bars and water levels in
fl
uenced 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
fl
ares.
Make sure your boat and equipment are in top condition.
Do this by frequently inspecting the hull, engine and
propulsion components.
PRECAUTIONARY LABELS
Read and understand all safety labels af
fi
xed to your Regal
boat or found in this manual and the vendor literature.
Many of the safety labels are posted close to the helm,
aft cockpit, cabin and swim platform. The location of the
labels may vary.
Review the helm safety labels with passengers before
disembarking.
Use common sense to analyze the result of an action on
board your vessel.
Always think safety
fi
rst!
DO NOT REMOVE OR COVER
ANY PRECAUTIONARY LABELS.
KEEP HARSH CHEMICALS
AWAY FROM LABELS.
IF A LABEL BECOMES ILLEGIBLE,
CONTACT YOUR REGAL DEALER
FOR ORDERING REPLACEMENTS.
