Here's how to prepare your boat for long-term storage:
If storing outside, use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, which can often be found at your local boating shop. For other boating-related accessories, you might also check REI, located at 1400 Country Ridge Rd, Bedford.
It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Buffalo Mills temps can get below 35 in the winter. First, flush and drain the engine, and keep it from corroding by adding lubricant. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check the oil, hoses, clamps, and belts. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the outside and inside of the boat to remove moisture. Finally, plug exhaust outlets to prevent rodents from entering.
It's best not to store a boat outside in the winter. Buffalo Mills's high humidity in the winter months 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 offers the best protection from high humidity.
Yes, it's advised you get insurance. Your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy most likely covers potential theft or damage while your boat is in storage.
