Use these tips to get your boat ready for long-term storage:
Put a wrap or vented cover on your boat, if you rent outdoor storage, which can often be found at your local boating shop.
You should winterize your boat, as Du Quoin temps can get below 35 in the winter. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to protect it from corrosion. 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 inside and outside of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.
It's best not to store a boat outside in the winter. Du Quoin's high humidity in the winter months can increase the odds of mold and mildew developing in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Climate-controlled boat storage provides the highest amount of protection from high humidity.
Insurance is suggested for boat storage near Du Quoin. Your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy most likely covers potential damage or theft while your boat is being stored.
