Storage
Consider the following steps when putting your folding top canvas option in the stored
position:
•Fold the top and zip it into the canvas cover provided.
•Pivot the covered top into the stowed position on the foredeck. The canvas cover is
equipped with a strap on each side and an eyelet in each strap. Place the eyelets over the
male fasteners located on the port and starboard foredeck.
•Twist the male fastener 90 degrees to engage.

PHOLSTERY
Your exterior vinyl upholstery may be cleaned with a mild solution of household detergent
and fresh water. Commercial cleaners for vinyl also work well. Since the seams of your exterior
upholstery are not waterproof, your upholstery should be stored in the cabin or covered when not
in use. Exterior cushions will trap moisture between themselves and the gel coat. If a cushion is
not removed to allow the moisture to dry, blistering of the gel coat may occur. Cockpit bolsters
may be removed if you desire. These bolsters clip onto brackets mounted to the deck structure.
Screws are then installed through the underside of the bolster to hold them in place. Most cabin
cushions are removable and may be dry-cleaned or steam cleaned.

INYL
In the cockpit area of your boat, plexiglass and vinyl are used for trim and polyethylene is
used for the toe rails and rod racks. Routine maintenance for vinyl should include regular cleaning
with soapy water and the application of a surface protector at least twice per year. Polyethylene
can be cleaned with products such as 409 or any spray and wipe cleaner. Plexiglass can be
maintained with mild soap and water and a soft cloth.
S
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. The scupper flaps may need periodic
replacement if the rubber becomes damaged or no longer seals properly in the thru-hull.
