Question 6

How do I store a boat for the winter?

Accepted Answer

Bristol winter temps can get below 35, so you should winterize your boat. 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 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.Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Bristol's high winter humidity can allow mold and mildew to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Indoor, climate-controlled boat storage offers the most protection against damp air.
