Update and mystery solved: according to GW, since there's no other AC on the boat other than the battery charger, no provision was made to easily see an indication of shore power present. I'll probably not routinely plug it in to my shore power unless I'm leaving the boat on the lift for weeks...

It clearly states in the manual that with the battery switches off that it's still supplying power to the radio to save presets, etc. and of course the bilge pumps. To be clear, this is a brand new boat and I'm not seeing any depletion of the batteries between uses but was just advised that...

Yep, have the manual but it’s mounted in a place that I’d have to remove a sealed deck plate to see it. I appreciate all the responses and I thought this would be an easy answer I was just missing. I’m contacting Grady for their answer.

Yep, got all that and have reviewed. There’s nothing in there that I can find about an indication that shore power is present. There’s an indicator for reverse polarity but that’s it - unless I’m just missing it which is entirely possible.

Nope.

30A shore power NEMA receptical with breaker. Sitting at my dock on shore power with engines off and everything turned on the batteries are reading 12.8V and 12.4V.

No AC breaker panel as the only AC device on the boat is the battery charger. I found the charger in the bilge but I'm going to need a long retractible mirror thingy to see the lights on it. I'd have to pull up the sealed deck plates to really get to it.

New Grady White owner here with the first of the many questions I'll have mastering my 2024 Freedom 275. Given that there are some drains on the batteries when everything is shutdown and the battery switches are off, I'm thinking it's important to plug the boat in to my dock power whenever it's...

Here's a photo of the dock: During big storm surge events the dock deck can be underwater. Doesn't happen very often but every few/several years and it might happen when I'm not here to do anything about it. It's making me second guess putting the box cantilevered off the dock itself and...

I've got a 5' wide wooden deck on my home dock off the Chesapeake Bay and I'm looking to add a large (96")dock box. An option I'm considering is to replace a set of the 5'x2"x8" deck boards with 7-8' boards leaving a cantilevered deck onto which I'd mount the box. I've priced cantilever mounting...

I'm pretty new to GW ownership but I'm told that the wiring on my 275 Freedom runs up and through the T-top structure. I'm just guessing that's the path of the Fusion sound system wiring. I'm thinking a quick call to GW or your local GW outfitter/dealer can tell you.

I'm set to pick up my new boat this coming Friday. I feel like a kid at Christmas. They sent me a template of how they're going to cut the panel and started the outfit this week. Garmin 8616xsv, Helm Master EX, Yamaha CL7 control screen, VHF radio, and I had room for an inductive charging...

Do you remove and stow that when not in use or is it designed to retract against the hard top or transom?

My new Freedom 275 did not come equipped with the sure shade option and I'm interested in exploring aftermarket solutions to getting some shade over the aft cockpit area. Ideally it would be something that could be left on the boat and deployed or stowed as needs be. Any tips on where to look...

The Freedom 275 that I've just bought has the bow shade option but does not have the Sure Shade option on the hardtop. I'm very interested in getting some kind of shade I can deploy on the aft seating area and would love to hear solutions that you folks have come up with for this. Smoky, do...

I'm not taking delivery of mine for a couple of weeks but the kind folks at Tri-State allow me to sea trial an identical Freedom 275 they had in the water down in Deale. This did not have the Helm Master joystick but otherwise was the same. I haven't owned a boat for about 15 years and the...

I felt good about getting the boat with the joystick since the engines are so close to the centerline of the boat but I agree about being proficient with using differential thrust to maneuver the boat. I can't wait to get out and start my GW experience. I just went back in to the dealer and...

We just signed a purchase contract on a 2024 Freedom 275 that we'll be taking delivery of in mid-July. This will be us getting back in to boat ownership after nearly a 15 year lay off while we put the kids through school and got them all launched. Our previous was a Sea Ray 330 Sundancer...
