IBERGLASS INISH The exterior finish of your Grady-White is a thin layer of resin with a finished color pigment called gel-coat. It is used for cosmetic purposes and makes routine maintenance relatively simple. Although gel-coat has a hard smooth surface, it does contain microscopic pores that will allow surface discoloration if not kept clean. -
Page 34: Finish/Waxing
A I N T E N A N C E A N D E R V I C E Finish/Waxing Gel-coat will age or dull naturally due to constant exposure to the natural environment and pollutants. Discolorations are shallow in depth. Factors that will affect the rate of discoloration are: the sun, pollution, old wax accumulation, and the salt content of water. -
Page 35: Repairing
The canvas will not be completely leak proof. The seam holes in your canvas may stretch and tend to leak. However, you can correct this problem by applying *Apseal® or Uniseal™ to the seams. Please understand that Grady-White does not warrant the fit and design of the canvas to be entirely watertight. -
Page 36: Snaps And Zippers
A I N T E N A N C E A N D E R V I C E NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN AN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYER. This will damage the canvas fabric. Water repellent was applied to your canvas during manufacturing. The repellent may have diminished after extended cleaning. -
Page 37: Upholstery
TEEL AILS The hardware on your Grady-White is made of laboratory grade 316 stainless steel and needs regular cleaning to maintain its “less staining” properties. The key to maintaining your stainless steel is to keep it clean with a mild solution of soap and FRESH water. Remove salt or dirt from your stainless steel on a regular basis. -
Page 38: Hardware Mounting
A I N T E N A N C E A N D E R V I C E ARDWARE OUNTING Ensure all holes are sealed properly when mounting hardware in the boat surface. Sealing will prevent water leakage. This is crucial in fiberglass areas that have been reinforced with plywood. A hole sealed improperly allows water inside the fiberglass leading to saturation of the plywood reinforcement. -
Page 39: Fuel Tank Compartment
ATTERIES Proper battery power is essential to the operation of your vessel. For this reason, Grady-White has carefully chosen a battery with cranking ability and reserve capacity sufficient to meet your needs. The factory installed Deka Marine Master 27M6 battery is a maintenance free battery. This battery utilizes an exclusive demineralized electrolyte and maintenance free calcium alloy grids. - Page 40 A I N T E N A N C E A N D E R V I C E This is not a complete set of guidelines. It is your responsibility to safely maintain your batteries and avoid injury. Use good judgement and remain alert to prevent an accident. In the event of an accident or exposure to electrolyte, immediately seek prompt medical advice or attention.

Manual for a checklist on winterizing and storage. TORAGE Grady-White boats are equipped with stern eyes and a bow eye. These eyes are for anchoring and trailering purposes, and should be inspected regularly to insure structural integrity. W A R N I N G The boat should not be lifted for storage using the bow and stern eyes. -
Page 44: 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. -
Page 45: Engines
I N T E R I Z A T I O N A N D T O R A G E NGINES See your engine Operator’s Manual regarding the winterizing procedures. Follow instructions carefully, and your engine will withstand severe weather conditions. Change all filters. Check hoses and clamps. -
