STORAGE TIPS

Prepare your Boat for Storage

Your boat needs special care when putting it into storage. Use this checklist to make sure it is ready to go for your next outing at sea.

Clean the Boat’s Exterior: A clean boat is a happy boat. Make sure everything is dry to prevent rust.

Change the Oil: Be sure to change the filter and oil to protect your engine over time.

Flush Coolant System: Drain out the current coolant and flush the system. Next fill it with fresh antifreeze to prevent engine corrosion.

Grease it Up: Grease the steering mechanism, joints, and other moving parts to ensure it will run smoothly when you take your boat out of storage.

Add Fogging Oil: If the engine is not diesel, use fogging oil to protect the carburetor and cylinders.

Loosen Drive Belts: When kept under constant tension, drive belts can crack or break. Loosen them or remove them completely.

Disconnect the Battery: Batteries will lose their charge when kept plugged in and in storage. Make sure you store it in a cool, dry place. Storing it in colder temperatures will slow down the charge loss from storage. You may need to check the charge every 6 weeks with a voltmeter or multi-meter and charge it when necessary.

Prevent Pests: During colder months pests look for places to take shelter. Cover exhaust ports with a cover or duct tape.

Add a Fuel Stabilizer: Fuel has a shelf life of about 3 to 4 months so make sure you add a fuel stabilizer to make it last longer.

Inflate Trailer Tires: Inflate tires to their appropriate PSI.

Cover Your Boat: Protect your boat from the elements as well as dirt & grime.
