How To Winterize Your Boat

If you intend to store your boat for the cold months of the year, 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

The oil in your boat after a season of use has acids and moisture in it that could corrode the inner workings of your boat 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 and 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. 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 thus necessary for a secure winterization.
