Follow these tips for how to store a boat long-term:

Perform any essential repairs.

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

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

Use fuel stabilizer.

Use a protective spray on the vinyl.

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

Put a vented cover on or wrap your boat, if you go with outdoor storage, which you may find at your local boating retailer. For other boating products, you could also visit REI, located at 181 Morgan Ave 1 1, Cambridge.

It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Boston winter temps can get below 35. 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 clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Remove moisture by cleaning and wiping down the exterior and interior of the boat. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.

Though Boston normally has pleasant humidity levels in the winter, it's still a good idea to rent climate-controlled boat storage to protect your vehicle from winter weather and UV rays.

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