Hi, I wanted to share what I do before storing my boat in a storage space.
The first thing I did was to find a self-storage facility in Burlington.
Before storing, I change the oil and refresh the coolant system. I drain out the current coolant and fill it with antifreeze after diluting as per the manufacturer's instructions.
I spray fogging oil through the sparking plug hole. I loosen the drive belts, but you can also remove them entirely because keeping them for long under tension can cause them to crack.
I also remember to grease the steering.
And about the battery, I don’t remove them. I disconnect them and top it off with distilled water. And once in awhile, I charge it to make sure it’s set to go.
I always remember to fill my gas tank before storing.
Before storing I clean my boat thoroughly inside and out and wax it. As wax can prevent rust from corroding the boat’s body.
After doing all this I cover my boat to protect it from dirt, dust and other kinds of things.
These are my routine. Am I doing it all right.? Is there anything more I should know about.? If anyone has any suggestion. Please help me.
