Vessel Operation
FENDERS
FENDER USAGE
Fenders are
n o r m a l l y
m a d e o f a
r ubb er ize d
plastic and
are usually
fi lled with air.
Most have a
fitting like a
basketball so they can be infl ated or defl ated. Fenders are
available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to fi t both
small and large vessels. Fenders are normally designated
in
inches. Th
ey are used for protection between piers,
docks, sea walls and the vessel. Th
ey protect the topsides
of the boat from rubbing against rough objects. Most
fenders have attachment eyes which allow a line to be
inserted vertically or horizontally. Th
is will permit the
fender to be tied off to fi t individual dock and tidal
situations. Be sure the fender is correct for the vessel size.
Th
e standard fenders specifi ed for your Regal yacht are
10” in diameter and 26” long. It is a good idea to carry
extra fenders but half a dozen is normally an acceptable
number. Remember to store fenders on board so they can
be easily accessed. Th
e forward stairway locker stores 2
fenders. Sometimes people call fenders “bumpers” but
this is not correct nautical terminology.
FENDER TYPES
Additional yacht fenders can be ordered
through your Regal yacht dealer. Explain
how you moor and use your vessel so your
dealer can recommend the best fender
type for you. We suggest the type with
a fi ll plug so you can infl ate them with a
hand pump like the ones used for bicycles
or a 12 volt compressor (plugged into the
12 volt vessel accessory plug).
STOPPING GUIDELINES
Before stopping the engines make sure they are in neutral
and at idle speed. Aft er an outing let the engines cool
down by idling for a few minutes before turning the
ignition off . Glance at the gauges one last time to monitor
their readings. Never turn the engine off while in forward
or reverse gear or back up in excessive speeds since water
could enter the engine through the exhaust system and
cause extensive damage. Above all, use common sense.
SHIFTING GUIDELINES
Before shift ing into reverse or forward make sure the
coast is clear. When shift ing to either gear from neutral
make sure the throttle is in the idle position. Do not pause
but engage the shift er quickly into the desired gear. Allow
your vessel to lose all headway before shift ing into reverse
or forward gear. Practice shifting! You will become
more familiar with the procedure and self-confi dence
will build especially in tight docking situations. Most
importantly, stay alert!
When maneuvering into a tight slip or pier be sure to use
the IPS joystick “docking” button. If the current or wind
is strong use the joystick “high”button which will supply
increased idling speeds.
AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE!
CHECK THE OIL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER STARTING ENGINE.
IF LOW OR NO READING
SHUT DOWN ENGINE IMMEDIATELY
AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.
CAUTION

TO PREVENT INJURY DUE TO FALLING
