With boating season coming to an end, I thought I would pass along some tips on storing your boat. If you store it properly, your boat can last many years and continue to look just like new!
Make sure all of the water is out of the engine and exhaust manifolds, fresh water systems and live bait wells; winterize the cooling system using ethyl-glycol antifreeze (pink RV-type); if you’re inexperienced, have a qualified shop do it for you.
Boats stored outside may benefit from shrink wrapping or a canvas cover; in either case, adequate ventilation is required to prevent moisture entrapment. I have to say, if you are going to spend a lot of money on your boat, then spend a little and store your boat indoor. Outside storage is never a real good idea in my opinion.
Inspect your trailer bearings, replace the bearing seals and make sure they’re well-greased; while they’re off, check the tires for wear and dry rot (occurs from storage, especially outside) and replace if necessary.
If you have trailer brakes, make sure they operate and aren’t worn excessively; if you’re unfamiliar with completing trailer maintenance yourself, have a qualified shop perform it for you.
