General Maintenance
While most boaters realize they need to prep their models for their upcoming stays in winter storage, many boat owners don’t realize that this means doing much more than simply flushing engine fluids and giving the model an oil change. To successfully prep your model for winter storage, you’ll also need to thoroughly clean the interior of your boat, making sure to remove any leftover items or debris as you go. The hull of your model will also need to be cleaned, and you’ll want to both polish and wax the exterior before storing your model away. Finally, don’t forget to remove your boat’s battery and place it on a drip charger before you finish. Otherwise, your battery will likely be dead come spring, and you’ll need to purchase a new one.
