How to Store a Boat for Winter

Are you getting ready to store your boat for the winter?

Do you have storage options available to you? Before you send your boat to the storage facility or dry rack it at your home, make sure you’ve taken these steps:

1. Run your boat one more time: Pay attention to any issues that need repair or replacement. Look for cracks in the hull, which can worsen over time.
   
   
2. Drain your boat: Remove your boat from the water and drain the water tanks, head, and pipes.
   
   
3. Give your boat a thorough cleaning: Scrub the entirety of your boat with soap and water, including the interior. Open any interior lockers, drawers, refrigerators, and freezers and clean those as well – you don’t want any surprises come springtime!

Some options for storing your boat in winter are boat storage units, dry stack storage, and indoor storage. These range in price, availability, and convenience.

Whatever you choose, you’ll want to do a few things before you store your boat for winter inside or outside.
