Read these tips for storing a boat long-term:

Make sure the maintenance tasks are up to date.

If you opt for dry vs. wet storage, disconnect the battery. If you're storing in the water, the battery should be left on board and connected.

Flush the engine and, if possible, store it in a vertical position.

Use fuel stabilizer.

Apply a protective spray to the vinyl.

To prevent tire damage for long-term boat trailer storage, the wheels should be put on wood blocks.

Use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, if you choose outdoor boat storage, which you may find at Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's Boating Center, located at 475 E Hartford Blvd N, East Hartford. You might also visit REI, located at 1417 New Britain Ave, West Hartford, for other boating-related products.

You should winterize your boat, as Hartford temperatures can get below 35 in the winter. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to keep it from corroding. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the inside and outside of the boat to remove moisture. Finally, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.

It's not suggested to store a boat outside in the winter. Hartford's high winter humidity can allow mildew and mold to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Rent climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected against damp air.

Insurance is highly recommended for boat storage near Hartford. Typically, renter's or homeowner's insurance will cover potential theft or damage while your boat is being stored, but check your policy to confirm.
