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

Use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, if storing outside, which can typically be found at your local boating retailer. For other boating products, you could also check REI, located at 200 W Ridge Pike Ste 115, Conshohocken.

Philadelphia temperatures can get below 35 in the winter, so it's a good idea to winterize your boat. 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 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. Finally, plug exhaust outlets to prevent rodents from entering.

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Philadelphia's high winter humidity can increase the opportunities 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 provides the best protection against high humidity.

Insurance is highly recommended for boat storage in Philadelphia. Usually, renter's or homeowner's insurance will cover any damage or theft while your boat is being stored, but check your policy to confirm.
