Snaps and Zippers
To protect the snaps and zippers on your boat’s canvas and cushions from corrosion and
binding, Grady White includes a snap/zipper assist tool and a tube of lubricant (E-Z Snap®) in
your owner’s packet. The lubricant, manufactured by IOSSO (part number 10909), should be
applied per the manufacturer’s directions during the initial use of your canvas and cushions.
The lubricant should be reapplied every 3 months or sooner depending on your boating
environment and usage. The snap/zipper assist tool included in your owner’s packet should be
used whenever you remove the canvas, cushions, or operate the zippers to prevent damaging
or tearing the material. Contact your dealer if you need to replace your assist tool or reorder
the lubricant.
Vinyl
•Clean clear vinyl thoroughly with denatured alcohol and apply a protective layer of clear
wax.
Do not
use paste wax, as it will turn the vinyl yellow. This process should be repeated
as necessary to maintain the protective wax coating.
•Store and secure canvas before trailering.
•Dry all canvas before storing to prevent mildew.
•Remove the top, front, and side panels.
Roll
them for storage. This is necessary to prevent
the front and side vinyl pieces from cracking.
Never fold these pieces!
Storage
Consider the following steps when putting your bimini/vista 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.
C A U T I O N
Secure the folded top when in the stowed position to prevent damage or the loss of your canvas.
