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.

Caprera3 Spreader Light - White Non-Dimming - Black Housing
Now with 1,200 lumens, a smaller, more thermally efficient powder-coated die-cast aluminum housing with improved optical beam pattern and available in full-color RGBW Spectrum output. But the innovation doesn’t stop there; Capri3 has no exposed fasteners thanks to our innovative easy-fit butterfly clip mounting system which greatly simplifies the installation process. Capri3/Caprera3 is IP67 compliant and PLI enabled (Poco compatible) on most models.
Features:
The Capri3 and Caprera3 spreader light series are smaller and lighter than the previous line of Capri/Caprera lights, yet they output 20% more light (1,200 lumens) while drawing less power, and have a more optically efficient light beam pattern for a consistent even light spread.
Feature to the Capri/Caprera line is full-color RGBW Spectrum output. Capri3/Caprera3 are available with the option of full-color RGBW Spectrum, are dimmable in all colors, and PLI enabled to make them fully compatible with our Poco Digital Lighting Control System for advanced lighting control.
Capri3 has no exposed fasteners due to an all-new innovative butterfly clip easy fit mounting system. This convenient mounting system uses a spring clip to firmly hold the light in place and requires no screws - giving the exterior of the light a clean flush look on your hardtop.
Retro Fit Kit - Want to upgrade your current Capri lights to the Capri3? No worries, the Capri3 has a retrofit kit available that fits perfectly into the recess created by the previous line of Capri lights. This too does not require screws to secure but instead is also held in place by the same spring clip mounting system of the Capri3 lights fixture, to provide an equally seamless clean look on your hardtop.
Poco Compatibility - The Capri3/Caprera3 Spreader lights are PLI compatible, meaning the internal "Power Line Instruction" technology built-in to the lights makes it compatible with our award winning Poco Digital Lighting Control system. This will allow for advanced lighting control when paired to a Poco module for precise color selection on multi-colored lights, dimming and light scene creation - all via a compatible MFD or connected smart device through the Lumitec Poco app.
Specifications:
COLOR OUTPUT: White, dual-color, and full-color RGBW Spectrum
LUMENS: 1,200+ TRUE measured lumens
VOLTAGE: 10-30vDC
12VDC: 1A
24VDC: 0.5A
