Page 38: Scuppers
I C e Cuppers Grady-White boats have self-bailing cockpits meaning water on the cockpit floor drains by gravity through large aft scuppers and not into the bilge. The aft drains (scuppers) have an external scupper flap assembly that restricts the flow of water back into the boat. Inspect the flaps periodically to make sure they are free of debris. - Page 39 a I n T e n a n C e a n d e r v I C e etal rotectors Boeshield T-9 Aluma Guard Premier Polish PMS Products Inc.

Page 45: Cleaning And Lubricating The Boat
I n T e r I z a T I o n a n d T o r a G e For outdoor storage, a canvas cover should be used to prevent “sweating”. One method is to build a frame over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches wider than the boat so the canvas will clear the rails and allow passage of air. -
