Here are the amenities your neighbors might offer:

Flexible access: Rent boat storage in Garrett that has access 24/7, ideal for getting to your boat at any time of day (or night).

Top-notch security: Make sure your boat has the most secure storage unit possible by picking a listing that offers security features such as a padlock, access code, all-day surveillance, or security cameras.

Here's how to get your boat ready for long-term storage:

Make sure the maintenance tasks are up to date.

If you go with dry vs. wet storage, disconnect the battery. If you go with wet boat storage, leave the battery on board and connected.

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

Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.

Spray vinyl with a protective spray.

For long-term boat trailer storage, put wood blocks under the wheels to prevent tire damage.

Put a vented cover on or wrap your boat, if storing outside, which can often be found at your local boating retailer.

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

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Garrett's high humidity in the winter can increase the odds of mold and mildew developing 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 moist air.

We highly recommend having insurance. Oftentimes, homeowner's or renter's insurance should cover any theft or damage while your boat is in storage, but check your policy to confirm.
