A dry boat in the fall is a much happier boat in the spring.
Before your boat is covered or placed into storage, take a few minutes to remove the moisture and mess that can turn into mildew, odors, corrosion, or unwanted guests over the winter.
A smart storage-prep routine includes:
* Removing wet life jackets, towels, ropes, and cushions
* Cleaning out food, bait, and other organic material
* Drying the bilge and storage compartments
* Checking the cover for tears and low spots that may collect water
* Using proper ventilation instead of sealing moisture inside
