Hillside temps can get below 35 in the winter, so you should winterize your boat. 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, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.Try not to store a boat outside in the winter. Hillside'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. Rent indoor, climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected from high humidity.
