Chapter 6: Maintenance and Service
Hardware/Stainless Steel Rails
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.
Hardware Mounting
When fastening new hardware to the boat, be sure to seal the opening properly with silicone or
5200 to prevent leakage into the laminate or into the boat.
Aluminum Components
(Lean Bars, Rod Holders, T-top and Hardtop Frames, Outriggers, Etc.)
Due to the nature of aluminum and the harsh exposure conditions of the marine environment, it
is important to follow a
required maintenance procedure
. Failure to follow a preventative
maintenance procedure will most likely result in aluminum pitting.
Both painted and anodized aluminum parts must be washed periodically with a very mild soap
and water solution. Grady- White recommends washing with a mild soap (such as Ivory
®
Liquid)
after each use and every two to three weeks if stored in an outside marine environment. Strong
cleaners and soaps must not be used. Never use abrasive cleaners or products that contain chlorine
bleach. These products can remove paint and anodized coating.
Give special attention to the upper tubes of a hardtop or T-top frame. The area just below the
top is shielded by the canvas or fiberglass top and does not receive the natural rinse that rainwater
provides. Failure to thoroughly clean and maintain this area will allow contaminates that attack the
aluminum to remain on the frame.
For maximum protection on anodized aluminum, coat parts with a non-abrasive metal protector.
The best protectors will displace moisture, remove contaminates, and leave a wax film protecting
the anodized aluminum. Follow the application guidelines for the product you choose.
