Stopping
Before stopping the engine make sure it is in neutral and idle speed.
After an outing let the engine cool down at idle speeds for a few minutes
before turning the ignition off. Glance at the gauges one last time to
monitor their readings. Never turn off the engine while in forward or
reverse gear since water could enter the engine through the exhaust
system and cause extensive damage. The same holds true for running
the boat in reverse. Above all, use common sense.
Your Regal uses a rotary or rack style steering system. These systems
transfer helm mechanical motion to the engine. There is a hydraulic
steering cylinder which with the assistance of a steering pump sends
fl uid force to the stern drive steering arm changing the course of the
boat, depending on the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Since the steering system is the primary link for engine control, it must
be periodically inspected and maintained. The hardware at both the
helm and engine must be checked regularly for tightness.
Check the steering system for full steering port and starboard before
disembarking. Refer to the steering manufacturer’s literature in the
owner’s pouch and the maintenance chapter for more information.
