Boating tips

Summer storage in Central Florida heat

In Florida the off season is often summer travel, not winter. A boat that sits for a month in the heat needs a little care.

Fuel and engine

Fill the tank to limit condensation and add a stabilizer. Run the engine for a few minutes so treated fuel reaches the carburetor or injectors.

Cover and ventilation

Use a breathable cover and keep it tight so water cannot pool. Crack a hatch or add vents to keep mildew out of the cabin and upholstery.

Put the battery on a maintainer and you will be ready to launch the day you get back.
