never run a IO without water, instant destroys the water pump in the outdrive. Gets some muffs and connect to a hose to supply water when running on the hard.

It's a good boat. I have same model. Led lights on rear are trailering lights. Regal has harness plug which goes into receptacle on bow. This eliminates lights on trailer which get submerged all the time causing problems. Volvo outdrives DO NOT have water pumps in outdrive as do Mercruisers. The water pump is engine driven off crankshaft on front of engine. Running engine even for a few seconds without water WILL MOST DEFINITELY cook the rubber impeller in the pump. Use only a Volvo impeller kit (around 40 bucks) as aftermarket ones are much less reliable. Impeller should be changed every 2 years. Once they're overheated or run dry ....pieces can break off and clog cooling systems. They usually wind up in the thermostat housing. That Fastrac stepped hull design creates lift to get boat on plane much faster than standard hull design. Volvo outdrive is generally bulletproof and shifts extremely smoothly due to cone clutch design. Make sure oil in drive is clean and full to proper level on dipstick. Engine is a standard GM block made for marine use with brass freezeplugs.

Need to check the two manifolds and risers...they rust after time and need replacing...will affect engine cooling. Also the water pump implella might need replacing. Heaps of you tube videos on this stuff for volvo boat engines

In the future you should never start a marine engine without muff's. While not running. Hook them up and let the water circulate for a while and feel the large exhaust port's for coolness they'll sweat and if one side is warmer than the other you may have a blockage. If both feel cool then start the engine and watch the out drive look for a solid stream of water to come out when the starts. If you don't have that stream then the impeller is toast. It takes less than a few seconds to ruin a dry old impeller I've replaced many of those in my time. It's a pain in the butt,but it's not rocket science 😁

The main issue is always to check the water cooling outstream this will give you a sign if the water cooling (pump impeller check in and outline water lines) is working. This is always a check before running your engine.

Had same issue with our gm engine in our auction boat, there was a lot Of corrosion inside the cooling passage ways in the engine. Almost blew ours up lol

It’s amazing, you spend a lot of money on the campers and they are a big job to fix. You buy a much cheaper boat and, it looks a winner straight away, even with a minor problem. Really happy to see it runs so nice 👍

I just missed you guys on Lake Bowen...I was there on Thursday and Friday boating and vacationing from Michigan..darn, maybe next time 😎

There is also a water flap leading up the exhaust riser that only lets water out but not back in. That flap might be broken, stuck, or just bad. Bottom line is pull off both risers to see how they looks, so you don't get water inside the engine......

great deal, in my country just shell - naked shell cost about $4000. take care guys

The led lights on the transom are trailering brake and turn signals the plug is on the bow and you have to connect it to your trailer lights.

Guys , this is going to be a fun project 👌. Make sure you check everything. You can do it !! Never mind the negative comments. Great video. Thanks 😊

Those Fastrac Fins may be to help turn the boat better as they help to cut into a hold the water in sharp turns.. Just a guess as older Tri Hull boats had longer ones. They could also help to cut through waves and keep the boat more stable in rougher water. Never start any boat motor without the lower unit wearing earmuffs/Water muffs to send cold water to the engine as the damage caused by ''No water'' is fast and absolute to the impeller which is made out of rubber guy's.. Not to mention costly$$. Stereos in boats are also built a tad differently than autos because of the roughness of the ride the boat goes through. A regular car stereo will work but possibly not last as long, IMHO. I was a avid boater in my day. Lastly if you had a stainless steel prop the boats top end/speed and power out of the hole would improve by quite a bit but if you hit underwater obstruction it can wreck a lower unit/outdrive easily. Good luck. Nice boat.

Replace the water pump impeller.

Another fun one for your channel. My uncle in 1972 had a Bayliner 455 olds and turbo prop it would go 👍

There's a pretty good chance that the rubber water pump impeller disintegrated and a piece of it is stuck in the water jacket or exhaust manifold. Replace impeller and blow out the manifolds and water jackets.

Change impeller and back flush coolant hoses. Lots of times old impeller fins get stuck in the power steering cooler hose and need to be flushed out and it will cool again

Corrosion in the water passageway, plus the water pump is shot for the amount needed to cool the engine and lower unit. Had that problem with my boat.

Pro Tip: Use magic eraser on the interior seats. Works amazing. Just make sure you do a final wipe with clean water to remove any chemical residue from the magic eraser.

Hi. I need your help. I have no idea how move down vin number under front screen in Ford Transit. The van is after accident, everything is OK but the vin is slightly up, not at the central of the gap. Do you have any ideas how to do it?

Drain the feel tanks to get all water out of it if engine having trouble starting

Look for wear on the sacrificial anodes to see if it has been in salt water much. If they look new, lots of salt water. If they look old but are still sound, fresh only.

Keep bringing in the goodies you guys! Haha nice boat😎 Little problem but oke always something...

Yea you probably burned up the Impeller housing. This is why you need to use muffs on land first. I am pretty sure that is the issue. Cheap fix ( impeller) and that should be checked every 1-2 years. Cheap replacement and that outdrive is much easier than an Alpha. Good luck.

Like others have said, never run an I/O out of the water. You have about 20 seconds before you destroy the water pump in the outdrive.

replace the water separator on the fuel line and the and the fuel and oil filters also check the thermostat the other fault on that unit is the tilt sender unit check that is working on the gauge

Water might not be getting thru the driver side exhaust. Might need to check the exhaust to see if the water passages are blocked.

Never, never ever run a marine motor without having water circulating through it - I've seen some dimwits do it and blow their engines - a real daaaaa moment for them and expensive. That water pump needs water running through it or you can also kiss that impeller goodbye.

Looks like it’s going to be a fun project!!!

Although Regal boats are not super high quality boats 2 good things that i did see are 1 the boat being from Tennesee is a positive thing that indicates the boat was used in fresh water and 2 those numbers on the transom Port side indicate the boat was stored in a Boatel style Marina that usually means it was stored inside and most likely the former owners had money so those owners usually hire tProfessionals or have the Dealerships do all the service that’s a good size boat for family outings and fun great for Wakeboarding Waterskiing , and Tubing the Volvo Penta running gear should be a reliable power plant with more than enough power ! best of luck with it BTW Regal is perhaps not the top of the line in its class but it’s not a terrible one to have either with the Ethanolgas these days in my boats i just have the Carburetors rebuilt every off season it saves you a lot of grief in the long run similar to you replacing the wires hopefully that’s one less tow i think the Pump that Michael noticed was the Power Steering Pump although i will admit i have not had Volvo Pentas in over 30 years as they have been Mercruiser inboard outboards

Those Accel Sparkplug wires add 5 HP apiece.

Those "fins" are called spray rails. Supposed to keep you dryer.

The engine is an "inboard"and the bit you see behind the transom is called a stern drive.

If you're lucky it's just the impeller that needs replacing, or water intake blocked. That smoke though, where did it come from?

You guys are gutsy. It needs an impeller.

That’s a painted trailer. Keep it out of saltwater, check the wheel bearings and shaft. Remember don’t start the engine without the lower unit submerged or with a running hose connected to the inlets.

Don't even turn your motor over even for a quick test without water attached, most people reason that the motor won't overheat and that's true but you Will damage your raw water pump either in the outdrive or engine mount, even for a few seconds without water it needs constant water present to not ruin the rubber impeller.

Yeah I think you bought a real disaster and you should sell it to me real CHEAP 😂😂😂, looks amazing guys , nice boat 👌🏻

tnx for the video

nice, thanks for sharing

You have to change the impellor!!!

Thank you

Check the bellows for leaks, do a compression test.

Good Volvo Outdrive sx1 and 4.3 Chevrolet motor. Good boat.

Might want to check to see if it is stolen if it is as good as it seems.

When you started it couple times without water you burned up the impeller. That's why it's overheating and the smoke is your exhaust boots melting. Hopefully your exhaust bellow is not toast. Definitely time for impeller job and check the exhaust boots, may look fine from outside but I bet the inner parts are melted. All could have been avoided if you had water during start up 😭

What a fantastic find 👏

Getting ready for vacation

Does it have two thermostats like some two stroke engine's if it does change both

Regal is a good boat made in Orlando. Just don’t run it in salt water. Should be a pigtail in the bow that plugs in to trailer pigtail to operate those stern taillights while towing. The Fastrac hull turns on a dime.

Could be a cracked block may not have been winterized properly

Getting ready for vacation ... lol

seems ready for a quick flip!

Replace the water pump and thermostats! If one side is not getting water flow through it, it is probably the thermostat. I would replace the water pump and service the lower unit just to be sure.

have similar engine possible the manifolds are risers are badly corroded these need changing around every 4-5 years in salt water also change the impeller this is the item you were not sure on. also check the bellows an the lower unit gear oil for water

Do you still have the other boat, or has that gone now?

You guys are as crazy as me lol I love it

What auction did y’all get this nice boat by the way

waterpump impeller needs changing out

Meu Amigo, me diga e se tem condições de comprar um barco usado desses aí e trazer pra o Brasil , e quanto custaria 👏👏👍🙏

I always change the thermostat annually

I knew that was Lake Bowen. You guys live here locally?

Well you had one of the two best days of owning a boat, the day you buy it and the day you sell it!! You can never run any boat motor with out ear muffs, you destroy the lower water pump impeller which need to be changed every few years anyhow. Also they probably didn't winterize it right, you could have a cracked block or exhaust manifold. Now on to the second best day of owning a boat, selling it!!

It blows me away that people dont run their new to them boats out of water and make sure its pumping water. Even if it is pumping water then you should replace the impeller just for good measure. You should run it until it reaches operating temp to make sure there are no old rotting hoses, leaks, stuck thermostat... i just towed someone back to the marina the other day cause the same thing. Cloud of smoke cause it was melting all the rubber in the exhaust system

what website was that?

Impeller needs replacement

When you repair it put a stamp on it start the engine and point it in the direction of Ireland 🇮🇪 👍🏻

What Auction Websites Do You Use? Thanks!

Completly new good deal

Pump impeller always rot out replace yearly

What’s happened to the cobra??

Problem could be, Engine was ran, with no water.

GUYZ, Volvo-Penta is a major marine power company. One of the best. !

Boats are like a boat anchor …. “hold onto the anchors because once in the water … you are going straight to the bottom AND the bottomless pit and deep expenses pocket” … waist of time money and everything in between 😟

Anyone no the auction site

👍

That’s the water pump impeller

focus !!!

I saw the DU sticker, I make duck calls, I'd love to make you all one with your logo in it. DO you duck hunt?

Pump impeller needed replacement before you use it but this is a old video

may have...but grease the HUBS

Bayliner.....The Chevette of the seas.

Regal is built by Bayliner.

I think it;s a boat, hope that helps.

Its a Bust Out Another Thousand!

How much

DONT RUN AN IO WITH NO WATER

Water pump in lower unit possible

We're gonna need you to wear a 3d tracking worksuit for a week, to record all your procedures to exacting of how you perform each task during the week, and then you can be replaced by a boston dynamics 3rd edition ultra highspeed robotic employee, and because you are brothers, you both should wear such worksuits for a week. Oh sure, you laugh now, however, the future is upon the horizon.

impeller in lower unit

Same attitude an body movement as goon squad lol

I never understood why carpets in boats was a thing

B locked. In take

Can sold this ⛵ to easily 8 to 10 k ..

I bet that boat would look great being pulled by the camperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ME MAN BEARD NO TALK GOOD

you ruined the water pump impeller running it without earmuffs!

Why do all youtubers turn the engine without water. It takes 2 seconds to destroy a impeller. Just hook up the water.

The boat was Old peoples boat

Google regal boats
