How to Prepare Your Boat For Dry Storage
We don't require any special preparations for boats stored in our lots, but you'd be wise to take some precautions if you're storing your boat for more than a month, especially in the winter. It's important to protect it from the elements, including bugs and critters. Here's a checklist of some common sense measures recommended by boating experts, including the pros at West Marine.
- Clean your Boat Give your boat a thorough clean. This will help the boat last longer. Clean the inside, outside, hardware, trim, etc. You can also give the exterior a fresh wax to protect it from the elements.
- Change the Oil You should change the engine’s oil as well as the oil filters on the stern drive, inboard engines, and outboards. Be sure to change the oil when the engine is slightly warm. Also make sure to get the appropriate oil for your boat. By changing the oil, it prevents water and acid from corroding the engine.
- Flush Cooling System Flush the cooling system with fresh water to help remove salt, dirt, and debris. This will help prevent corrosion. If you live in colder climates, it ay be a good idea to run anti-freeze through the system.
- Fogging Oil Use fogging oil to help keep the boat’s engine well protected during those winter months. While the engine is running, spray the fogging oil into the air intakes.
- Fuel System You should top off your boat’s fuel tank before storing it. This will help prevent condensation build-up, which could lead to corrosion. You should also change the fuel filter at the end of the boating system. You may also want to consider adding a fuel stabilizer, if your boat doesn’t already have one.
- Remove Drive Belt When under tension for prolonged periods of time, the belt can weaken and crack. It’s best to completely remove it before storing your boat.
- Disconnect the Battery Don’t let your battery die during the winter! Disconnect it and top it off with distilled water. You can also run the battery a few times during the winter to make sure that it’s good to go when summer comes back around.
- Lubricate Take some time to lubricate the steering system and any mechanisms. This can help protect your boat during the storage and cold weather. Even small pieces can have critical functions, so check over your boat and lubricate!
- Cover the Boat Use a protective cover to protect your boat from dust and dirt while it sits in storage.
