    Warning alarm going off

    I have a 1994 Regal 256 with the 5.7L Mercruiser and Alpha One outdrive. If I cruise around at about 1800 to 2500 RMP for say over 30 or 40 minutes, the engine alarm goes off. Now, my understanding of it is that is one of three possible things, outdrive oil too low, water temp and oil...

    Adding a ladder and need some advice

    I have a1994 Regal 256 that has the crappiest ladder they could ever install on a boat. It barely reaches the water (the platfor is 6 to 8 inches above the waterline). I wanted to add a longer ladder but here is the problem. The built in platfor is actually about 4 inches thick and hollow...

    Hanging cabinets and securing base cabinets???

    Touchy throttle

    I have a 94 Regal 256 with a 5.7 Merc and an Alpha One. Boat runs great except when back down from over 3400 RPMs. It is very difficult (almost impossible) to slowly back down from 3400 to 2000, in less than an inch of movement on the throttle you drop from 3400 to 1800 or so. Nto the best...

    Electrc Head Questions.

    I recently purchased a 1994 Regal 256. I thought it had a manual pump head with a holding tank and a macerator. However, this weekend was the first chance I had to really go over the boat to put together my work list. I noticed that it has an Electric Jabsco toilet and that where the...

    Snap in Carpet that looks like teak?

    A friend was showing me a new Four Winns brochure he picked up. Several of the larger models showed snap in carpet that had a holly colored stripe in it to look like teak. I know there is Plas-teak and NuTeak, but this stuff was actually carpet. I would love to replace the ugly green carpet...

    Cockpit Cover Question

    I just purchased a Regal 256 Valanti. The previous owner had a new bimini top and camper curtains made last year to replace a worn out cockpit cover. I intend to put a new cockpit cover on in the spring. For those that have one, does yours cover the entire windshield (down the outside to the...

    New Regal owner has a cover question

    I just took ownership of a 1994 Valanti 256 (took it for a hour long test run then it went right into winter storage). The previous owner has a new bimini top and camper cover and curtains made last year. When I went to cover the boat with a tarp this weekend, I found that the zippers let more...

I know where the anchor locker is (behind the mirror in the fore of the cabin), but how do I secure the rope in there to keep the anchor tight against the pulpit? The...
