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.

Battery Optimization System (B.O.S.) - 12V - 4-Bank
The Pro Charging Systems Battery Optimization System keeps batteries balanced enabling maximum performance. The system can quadruple run time on the water for boaters and other users.
Premature battery failure due to an unbalanced pack has unfortunately been accepted as the ‘norm’ for decades. The B.O.S. breaks through those accepted “norms” and solves the problem with a BSAP-24 algorithm that can accurately predict and select the battery that needs additional energy to match the other batteries within the pack. This simultaneously and successfully extends the life of each battery in the pack. The net result is substantially increased run times and extended battery life.
The Battery Optimization System is the perfect companion device to utilize with Pro Charging Systems advanced battery chargers.
B.O.S. is compatible with PROView™ Link battery monitoring software that enables you to monitor your battery status via your smart phone or tablet. The PROView™ Link App is available to download for free at the Apple and Google Play stores. Learn more about the capabilities of PROView™ Link at the Energy Management page.
Applications: Inland Watercraft, Saltwater Watercraft, Motorhomes, Industrial, Golf Carts, Utility Carts and more.
Features:
Approved for use with Wet Cell, AGM and Lithium Ion batteries
Designed for 12V batteries
Designed for use in fresh and saltwater
Up to four batteries in series
BSAP-24 Battery Selection and Prediction Algorithm on board
Less than 1mA sleep mode
Self-powered
The Battery Optimization System is compatible with most Lithium* batteries.
*Always verify with PCS before using with Lithium batteries.
*Use PROVIew™ Link to configure B.O.S. for use with approved lithium batteries.
This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase. Please contact the manufacturer directly with any issues or concerns.
