Follow this advice for how to store a boat long-term:

Perform any necessary upkeep.

If you opt for dry vs. wet storage, disconnect the battery. If you're storing your boat in the water, leave the battery on board and connected.

The engine should be flushed and stored vertically, if possible.

Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.

Use a protective spray on the vinyl.

To avoid tire damage for long-term boat trailer storage, put wood blocks under the wheels.

Put a wrap or vented cover on your boat, if storing outside, which can often be found at Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's Boating Center, located at 475 E Hartford Blvd N, East Hartford. For other boating products, you might also check REI, located at 1443 SE Rd, Farmington.

It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Meriden winter temperatures can get below 35. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to keep it from corroding. If you're keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. If not, drain the fuel lines. Replace the engine filters and check belts, hoses, clamps, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Remove moisture by cleaning and wiping down the exterior and interior of the boat. Last, plug exhaust outlets to prevent rodents from entering.

It's not suggested to store a boat outside in the winter. Meriden's high winter humidity can invite mold and mildew to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Climate-controlled boat storage provides the highest amount of protection against damp air.

Insurance is highly suggested for boat storage near Meriden. Check your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy to confirm that it covers potential damage or theft while your boat is in storage.
