How To Winterize Your Boat
If you intend to store your boat for winter, it’s crucial that you properly winterize it in advance. Otherwise, you risk your boat coming out of the winter worse for wear, possibly even in need of repairs.
There are a few simple steps to the process; don’t skip any of them, or you may end up regretting it.
Replace the Oil
After a season of use, the oil in your boat has acids and moisture in it that could corrode the inner workings while it sits in storage. You’ll want to replace engine and gear oil according to manufacturer guidelines shortly before storing.
Drain Cooling Water
If temperatures drop low enough, the water used for cooling in your boat can freeze and cause damage, so you’ll want to clean, flush, and drain the system for the winter. Make sure you look up the specific instructions for your engine and follow them exactly.
Add Fuel Stabilizer
Fuel, under normal circumstances, can break down quite quickly, becoming a gummy mess that will wreak havoc on your boat when you bring it back out of storage. You don’t drain fuel away for storage, though; instead, you’ll want to add a chemical fuel stabilizer that will prevent that degradation for the winter.
This is important: You can’t drain your fuel and skip the stabilizer because the fuel residue inevitably left behind will be even more likely to deteriorate into gunk and cause problems.
Treat Components With Protective Oil & Grease
In winter storage, your boat’s normal mechanisms to stay oiled and protected won’t be in action, so you should do some extra work to protect your engine and any components that are supposed to be greased.
For a secure winterization, a fogging oil spray across the exposed surfaces of your engine and a fresh application of marine grease according to your engine manufacturer’s specifications is necessary.

How To Keep Mice Out of Your Boat During Winter Storage
We recommend using a boat cover to keep mice out of your boat during winter storage. A boat cover will stop mice from being able to get in. We also recommend removing food and any trash from the boat prior to storage. You can also seal entry points to the boat with steel wool, and use mouse repellent spray to keep mice away from your boat.
