How Do I Keep Moisture Out of My Boat in The Winter? 

When it comes to preventing moisture damage, it’s important to have quality covers and tarps for winter preparation. Snow, ice, and rain will make contact with your boat without the proper protection but covers can safeguard the exterior and interior of your vessel.  

It’s also recommended that you remove all fabric-based materials from the boat during winter and store them elsewhere. Even with a sturdy cover, it’s possible for condensation to collect on materials and contribute to moisture damage and mold growth.  

For the greatest peace of mind, consider using dehumidifiers throughout the boat. These devices will absorb any remaining moisture and ensure your vessel is in good shape when spring rolls around. In the event you can’t provide power to dehumidifiers while the boat is in storage, moisture-absorbing crystals are a good alternative.  

Can I Leave My Boat in The Water All Winter? 

Consider storing your watercraft ashore during the winter season, as doing so will make it easier to prevent moisture damage throughout the winter months. If you must keep your boat in the water during winter, there are certain key steps you can take to limit the effects of moisture as much as possible.  

Start by applying cleaners and solvents for winterization to remove lingering dirt and grime on the boat. Spots of dirt can retain moisture, which can result in the growth of mold or the formation of rust. Also, be sure to secure any open areas of the hull, such as gate valves, to stop water from getting into the craft.  

Secure exhaust ports with plugs in the event of snow accumulation. When snow weighs down a boat, it could result in the exhaust ports sinking below the surface of the water.  

How to Properly Winterize a Boat? 

Comprehensive boat winterization involves a few vital steps, including the following: 

  • Cover the boat with a reliable material, such as tarps and shrink wrap 
  • Make sure the cover is vented to allow air to flow over the boat 
  • Use fuel additives for winterization to protect the engine 
  • Clean the inside and outside of the boat before placing it in storage 
  • Supply water lines with anti-freeze to prevent ice accumulation 

Keep in mind that winterization practices can vary from boat to boat. Accordingly, consult your boat’s owner’s manual for more specific guidance on how to prepare for harsh winter weather.
