As the Fall months creep into our calendars, boat owners in cooler climates acknowledge, with sadness, that it’s time to put the boat away.
Outside Storage?
It’s a thought and an option but consider that you may be threatened by snow build up, tornadoes or hurricanes. The success of storing your boat outside depends on how well your boat is protected from the conditions outdoors.
Rinse/Flush
Rinsing the outside of your boat and trailer thoroughly with fresh water will remove excess salt. Pay particular attention to your trailer’s leaf springs, wheel hubs and brakes that are constantly submerged during launching and retrieval of your boat.
Flush your engine's cooling system with fresh water in line with your engine manufacturer’s salt removal recommendations. This will minimize corrosion and overheating issues come spring.
Drain your boat of all water – bilge, head, sink lines, water tanks, sea-cocks, and pipes. If you are in an area with extended periods of freezing, put antifreeze in the low parts if there is still some water present.
Salt
Watch out for salt. Buy a good salt remover to minimize corrosion.
Add fuel stabilizer to top off your fuel tanks. Here is one recommended by CLR Marine.
Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer & Performance Improver - 32oz *Case of 4*
STA-BIL Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer is a diesel additive that keeps fuel fresh for quick, easy starts and maximized for engine performance. Designed for use with all diesel engines, and all diesel fuels, Sta-Bil Fuel Stabilizer Diesel formula prevents sludge and sediment formation, cleans and lubricates fuel injectors to improve performance and helps remove water. It is safe to use and recommended for use at every fill up, with the 32 ounce bottle treating up to 320 gallons of fuel.
Batteries
Remove the batteries from your boat and store in your garage or basement.
Batteries should be connected to a battery charger that will give them a good charge and one that w automatically switches to a float/trickle charge to keep your batteries topped up. Match your charger to the type of battery you are charging. Using a charger manufactured for lead acid batteries to charge an AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery will cause damage to the battery.
If you choose to keep your batteries in the boat, connect a solar trickle charger. These chargers will keep your batteries topped off without the hassle of removing heavy batteries from your boat.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior with the proper fiber glass or wood cleaner needed for your boat. Bright work can be cleaned by removing the wood or cleaning it as it is - installed. Be careful to not get the wood cleaner onto the deck surfaces. The exterior should be dried with a chamois cloth. Vinyl seat cushions and backs should be cleaned with vinyl cleaner. Hard surfaces inside the vessel can be wiped with all purpose cleaners. End your cleaning with a coat of wax to the exterior and polish. Don’t forget the bottom paint.
Before you store, spend the time to give your boat a thorough cleaning. CLR Marine has many products by trusted brands such as Powerhouse, Davis Instruments, Jabsco, Shurhold, and Swobbit, to help winterize and clean. You will be grateful in the spring during launch time that your boat is already clean as the new boating season begins.
Cover Up
If you store outside in your yard, driveway, or a boat yard, a boat cover is a must to prevent damage from winter conditions. Leaving your boat in the water is not recommended. The boat is exposed to rough weather, and has a greater possibility of sinking if you aren’t monitoring it often.

Circle May 21, 2022, on your calendar. The date is almost ten days before Memorial Day, next year when most harbors open for the season. Start your prep work, tune-ups, sanding, and painting to get out on the water and a great boating season. In the meantime, during the cold winter months, cozy up to the fire and read your boating manuals, new safety regulations and weather information.
Fair winds and smooth sailing.

Insta-Trim 10" x 10" Trim Tab Set
Insta-Trim, the original hydraulic boat leveler, provides a better ride every time you leave the dock. Each Insta-Trim system features:
Wiring: Color-coded wiring in 25' and 40' lengths with quick connect fittings, meets federal standards for heat, pull and insulation.
Solenoids: Our solenoids are custom designed for Insta-Trim Boat Leveler company, epoxy sealed and humidity resistant, thereby preventing shorting out. The solenoids lock the tabs in any position, eliminating drift back. Barb type hose fittings provide tight, secure connections.
Motor: A powerhouse with coated wiring that resists temperature and amperage build-up. 1 3/4" stack windings and top mounting eliminates oil leakage. The motor is mounted with stainless steel nuts and bolts, and is easily disassembled. One pint of Insta-Trim biodegradable transmission oil, funnel and mounting hardware is supplied.
Pump: Designed and engineered exclusively by Insta-Trim. The built-in bypass is factory set at 400 P.S.I. Tolerance held to +/-.00025. Amperage doesn?t exceed 16 because the unit circulates oil, rather than stalling out or trying to pump additional pressure.
Brackets: Swivel type brackets allow cylinders to be mounted and adjusted to any angle. Knockout pins act as shear pins if the tab strikes an object.
Cylinders: Impact resistant, fiberglass reinforced nylon cylinders eliminates expansion and resists ultra-violet rays. Two expanding type seals, plus 0-rings, eliminates high and low pressure leaks. Barbed cylinder fitting and an inserted tubular steel rod prevents hose blow-off and breakage. A stainless steel spring retracts the cylinder when the boat is not in motion.
Stainless Steel Trim Tabs: 12 gauge 304 stainless steel trim tabs are available in standard and custom lengths. They are guaranteed against electrolysis, remaining strong and secure. Insta-Trim systems use hinges that prevent most spray and can be used for transom or bottom mounting.
Motor cover: High impact abs plastic cover with a built-in oil reservoir mounts easily with two screws. Our cover protects the motor from occasional wash down.
Hose: Designed and manufactured exclusively for Insta-Trim with nylon reinforced webbing and a UV resistant coating. Rated at 2000 lbs. Burst pressure, 15; of hose is supplied for your system. Stainless steel clamps hold the hose to barb fittings at the solenoids and at the cylinder connection.
Rocker type controls: Mounted on the dash, they are easy to operate.
Optional touch button waterproof switches: Adjust the tabs for maximum control and performance. 3" Diameter.
