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

Use a vented boat cover or boat wrap, if you choose outdoor boat storage, which you can find at your local boating retailer.

Stuart winter temperatures can get below 35, so it's a good idea to winterize your boat. First, flush and drain the engine, and protect it from corrosion by adding lubricant. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the exterior and interior of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Stuart's high humidity in the winter can increase the odds of mildew and mold having a party in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Rent climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected against damp air.

We highly suggest having insurance. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy most likely covers potential theft or damage while your boat is being stored.
