Bridgeport temps can get below 35 during the winter, so it's a good idea to winterize your boat. First, flush and drain the engine, and protect it from corrosion by adding lubricant. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check the oil, clamps, belts, and hoses. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the exterior and interior of the boat to remove moisture. Finally, plug exhaust outlets to prevent rodents from entering.

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Bridgeport's high wintertime humidity can increase the chances of mold and mildew having a party in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Indoor, climate-controlled boat storage offers the most protection against high humidity.

Insurance is recommended for boat storage in Bridgeport. Read your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy to confirm that it covers potential theft or damage while your boat is in storage.
