All Grady-White owners want to know the “dos and don’ts” of taking
care of their boat and boat systems so that simple maintenance tasks are
done properly and efficiently.
We’ve developed a Quick Reference Maintenance Guide, and we encourage
our boat owners and enthusiasts to submit additional suggestions to
expand our customer knowledge base.
Below are just a very few highlights. You can visit www.gradywhite.com/customer/tips/
to download the entire
Quick Reference Maintenance Guide, and we hope that you send us your
own favorite maintenance tips while you are there! You can always
contact your Grady-White dealer
for information and assistance regarding service.
Trailering
Do
Remove canvas and store deck cushions before trailering.
Keep wheel bearings greased.
Tongue weight on
hitch should be 5-10% of the total weight of your boat, motor and
trailer package.
(“Tongue weight” is the downward force that the tongue of a trailer
applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle, and is pertinent to avoiding
trailer sway.)
Don’t
Never rely on the
motor tilt lever to support your engine when trailering. Always secure
the engine with a towing support bar.
Fresh water system
Do
Flush all fresh water systems with a 10% bleach water solution twice a year.
Add lemon juice to system periodically to keep things fresh smelling.
Leave seacocks open during winter storage when stored on land.
Don’t
Do not leave water
in pumps, lines, filters or tank during cold winter weather. Bleed or
drain lines. Refer to your owner’s manual for details.
Batteries
Do
Replace Grady-White installed batteries with the same brand and type as specified in your owner’s manual.
Apply light grease to battery terminals after cleaning to prevent corrosion.
Don’t
Never disconnect batteries while the engine is running.
