Your Grady-White has many features and accessories that have existing printed material pro-
vided by the various equipment manufacturers. This information is compiled in a package that we
will reference throughout this manual as an “Owner’s Packet.” This Owner’s Packet includes a
Grady-White Owner’s Manual and Engine Manual(s) to advise on operation, service, specifica-
tions, maintenance, warranty, and other useful facts. While reading your Grady-White manual,
you will find other technical literature referenced as resources for detailed information. The
Owner’s Packet will also consist of operation guides, informative labels and product warranties
you will need to be acquainted with. Your Owner’s Packet can also be used to retain instructions
and data compiled on additional equipment and accessories installed after delivery.
Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual , a book published by the National Marine Manu-
facturer’s Association (NMMA), has been included with your Owner’s Packet as a supplement.
This publication will be referenced in your Grady-White Owner’s Manual to present additional
instructions and information on basic boating.
