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

Use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, if storing outside, which you may find at your local boating retailer. For other boating-related accessories, you might also check REI, located at 17559 Haggerty Rd, Northville.

It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Melvindale winter temps can get below 35. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to protect it from corrosion. If you're keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. If not, drain the fuel lines. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the outside and inside of the boat to remove moisture. Last, plug exhaust outlets to prevent rodents from entering.

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Melvindale's high wintertime humidity can allow mildew and mold to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Climate-controlled boat storage provides the best protection against high humidity.

Yes, it's advised you have insurance. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy should cover potential damage or theft while your boat is being stored.
