Just as cool as owning a boat is the ability of keeping it in tip-top shape. So the question is, where and how should you keep your boat when it’s not in action? We are proud of our boat storage services, but there’s more to keeping your prized possession safe, than simply storing it. So here are some tips that will help insure the safety of your boat: 1. Top off your gas tank and add a gas stabilizer. What that does, is it helps reduce the possibility of condensation. 2. Change the oil before storing. 3. Repair any damage, dings or cracks. The passage of time can only make damage worse. 4. Remove the electronic devices and batteries. 5. Check the hoses, belts and clamps. 6. Flush the coolant system (with water), and if possible add antifreeze. 7. Remove the bilge drain plug and clean the strainers. 8. Clean the refrigerator and remove any materials that can spoil or cause mildew. 9. Open the interior lockers for better air circulation. 10. Before storing your boat, it’s best to give it a thorough cleaning, and make sure everything is fully dried. Keep your pride and joy safe and in good hands. Ask us how.
