Preparing Your Boat For Storage

When it comes to storing your boat, you’ll have plenty of different options to choose from. If you’re like us, your vessel is one of your most prized possessions. Here are some things to think about when getting your boat ready for storage.

Where to Store

Whether you’re a frequent or an occasional boater, you want to make sure that you have a safe and secure place to store your boat. Depending on the size of your property, your vessel might be far too large to store at home. This means that you may need to consider alternative boat storage options. Fortunately, there are many options out there, including keeping your boat at a local marina, renting a storage unit, or trailering your boat in your garage.

Clean Your Boat

If you know that you won’t be using your craft for quite some time, there are some important steps you should take before you store it. You want to make sure that it’s clean and that you perform a thorough inspection. A proper cleaning will prevent a critter infestation from developing in your absence.

Perform an Inspection

Doing an inspection will alert you to any potential issues that need to be addressed. The longer maintenance issues go unaddressed, the more problematic they can be. You’ll be better off taking care of this before you place your boat in storage for an extended period.
