Before putting your expensive investment into boat storage for the season, you should always start with a good checklist of things to do prior to putting the boat "down for the winter", so to speak. Such boat storage checklists exist all over the internet so a quick search should turn up loads of them. Although most of them are very complete, you should always modify the boat storage checklist that you choose with some of your own custom steps or information that is specific to your particular make and model of boat. by Simply Self Storage

First, clean your boat both inside and out very thoroughly. Plus while you are doing that you might find some little surprises that you weren't aware of that need to be tended to. Anything that is electronic needs to be stored where it is warm and dry and you should also take such things as fire extinguishers, sails, curtains, and PFD's off of the boat for safe storage on land. Clean out the refrigerator and always be sure to leave it propped open. This will eliminate any mildew from developing over the winter months. by Douglas Malat

If you own a boat that is kept on the water, storing your boat may only be necessary when the weather is bad or when seasons change if you live in a state where the water freezes during the winter time. Perhaps the safest and most secure way to store your boat is to have a boat shed built on the water behind your home. This is probably the most expensive way to store your boat and is not transferrable if you move to another home and want to take your boat with you. by Simply Self Storage

While some may prefer the option of the marina for boat storage others find that this is not adequate for their storage needs at all. Their boat is still accessible to weather elements and that they do not care for. That makes indoor storage the better option.

Winterizing your boat is one of the best investments you can make in your craft. The failure to properly prepare for freezing and long periods of moisture can be very costly. Every year thousands of boat owners are unpleasantly surprised by damage. Freezing temperatures cause trapped water to expand with gradual, but incredible force, that can crack iron engine blocks, exhaust manifolds, drive units and more. Moisture can cause corrosion including rusting of metal parts- from shifting components to piston cylinders and crankshafts. Electrical connects can corrode. Fuel tanks can gather condensation which produces a surprising amount of water, which will cause the engine to not run, or not run well. Aged fuel will change and lose it's octane, and with water , will likely need to be pumped from the boat and discarded. In a worse case scenario water can enter the combustion chamber and not compress with the piston stroke cause metal parts to fail. The elements take their toll on interior and exterior finished and upholstery can fade, get brittle , and crack. It is serious stuff, but with a few hours attention, can be avoided. by Simply Self Storage

If you have a small boat that you would like kept near a dock but not in the water, you can choose rack storage. This form of storage will lift your boat out of the water and hang it from a rack, which can then be removed and lowed back into the water when you wish. This option is great if you have a small powerboat or regular rowboat. This is also a great option for rafts and zodiacs. by Simply Self Storage

Buying a boat is very much possible for any family with nice standard of living. In the past only the extremely wealthy could afford boats but in the past years boat ownership has become a reasonable and realistic goal. The question that arises after buying a boat is where to keep the boat when not actually using it. Considering boat storage should occur long before the boat is owned. This is because the boat is very sensitive to the extreme climatic conditions and you naturally do not wish any harm to your boat for these reasons. by Douglas Malat
