VOLVO IPS PROPELLERS
We have carefully tested and chosen
the propellers to give your boat the
best possible performance and have
allowed for the additional weight
in equipment that might be added
to the boat.
Carry the necessary tools in order
to handle an emergency propeller change including a set
of extra propellers and hardware. Always use genuine
Volvo replacement parts which can be ordered from your
Regal yacht dealer.
Many times a boater is cruising far from his mooring
when he needs emergency repairs. A facility may be able
to sling your vessel for propeller changing but may not
have the special hardware or correctly sized propellers
for your vessel. Be prepared!
Twin IPS drive vessel propellers are balanced to achieve
the highest performance standards along with running
a straight course with no power steering torque.
Th
e IPS system features series a Nybral series propeller
system. As the name designates, the propellers are made
of nickel, bronze and aluminum. Identify the exact type
of Nybral propeller installed on your vessel so you can
carry an extra set for emergencies. Use the chapter 8
chart as a guide but check the propellers themselves for
exact stamped type.

IPS FORWARD FACING NYBRAL PROPELLERS
To check the propellers the vessel must be lift ed using a
hoist with proper type slings that are specifi ed for larger
vessels.
Make sure you read and understand the proper
procedures for slinging the vessel before attempting to
hoist your yacht. Th
ere are 2 sets of “sling” identifi cation
deck markers. Th e markers provide a safe lift ing location
for sling straps. Make sure the slings used are wide
enough to support the boat weight.
Aft er the propellers are removed they can be sent to a
propeller repair facility to check balance and recondition
the blades.
Also, the drive anodes can be checked/changed when
the yacht is out of the water. One anode is located on the
drive and the other anode is located on the transom. Use
emery paper to clean oxidized anodes not a wire brush.
A spare set of propellers can be installed while the original
set is being repaired. Refer to the Volvo IPS operation
manual for further detailed information regarding the
changing of propellers.
