Before taking your boat from storage, prioritize a comprehensive maintenance check to ensure it is safe and ready for use. Start thoroughly inspecting the hull for any damage, wear, or signs of pests. Clean the hull, deck, and topsides.
Check the engine and batteries. Replace the battery if necessary, and ensure all electrical connections are clean and tight. Check fluid levels (oil, coolant) and replace filters. If the fuel was stored in the tank, consider changing it or checking its condition.
Inspect the bilge pumps and hoses for proper operation and signs of wear. Check the propeller and shaft for any damage or entanglement.
Review the boat’s safety equipment, including life jackets, fire extinguishers, flares, and first aid kits, ensuring they are in good condition and within expiration dates.
Test the steering system and controls. Lubricate moving parts as needed. Check the sailboats’ rigging, sails, and mast for any signs of wear or damage.
Finally, perform a test run to ensure everything functions correctly, paying attention to the engine’s performance, navigation equipment, and overall boat handling.

Preventing mildew and mould in your boat during storage requires a multi-faceted approach. Firstly, ensure thorough cleaning and drying before storage. Remove all organic materials, as these can be breeding grounds for mould and mildew. Use a mildew cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar to clean all surfaces. Make sure to dry the boat completely, focusing on areas prone to moisture retention.
Ventilation is crucial. If possible, leave hatches and ports slightly open to allow air circulation. For enclosed areas, consider using moisture absorbers or dehumidifiers. Covering your boat with a breathable boat cover can also help, as it allows moisture to escape while protecting it from dust and debris.
Check for any leaks or areas where water may accumulate and address these issues before storage. Upholstery and fabrics should be stored dry, and you might consider removing them entirely if feasible.
Finally, inspect your boat periodically during storage. This lets you catch any mould or mildew issues early and take corrective action.
