Boat Storage

Embarking on the open waters for a weekend of lake enjoyment or a serene fishing trip is an unparalleled experience. Boats serve as vessels for creating cherished memories with friends and family. That's why it's crucial to ensure their proper care and find the optimal storage solution. At Vanguard RV and Boat Storage, revel in the assurance of top-notch boat storage.

Advantages of Boat Storage 

While many opt for marinas for immediate water access, storing boats at a dedicated facility offers numerous benefits. In addition to preserving your home's aesthetic, Vanguard RV and Boat Storage facilities provide superior protection, strategic locations, and features designed to enhance your storage experience.

Enhanced Protection 

Storing your boat at a marina exposes it to potential weather-related damage. Rain, sun, sleet, and ice pose risks, even with a boat cover. Vanguard RV and Boat Storage facilities offer the coverage needed to shield your boat from adverse weather conditions, keeping it away from potential water-induced damage.

Apart from weather protection, Vanguard RV and Boat Storage prioritizes security, providing fully fenced facilities with keypad entries and 24/7 video recording.

Convenience While marinas offer quick water access, Vanguard RV and Boat Storage facilities are equally convenient. Strategically located near major highways, lakes, and national parks, our facilities ensure that your next boating adventure is just a short drive away.

Features and Amenities 

Choosing Vanguard RV and Boat Storage grants access to exclusive features and amenities. Wide drive aisles and ample maneuvering space simplify the parking process. Enhanced security, with 24/7 video recording and keypad access, adds an extra layer of assurance. Many units also offer electrical outlets for convenient battery charging. 

Preparing Your Boat for Long-Term Storage 

Before entrusting your boat to Vanguard RV and Boat Storage, follow essential steps to maintain its optimal condition. Read on to discover proper cleaning and mandatory maintenance tips.

Cleaning the Interior and Exterior 

Thoroughly cleaning your boat is vital to prevent rust and damage. For the interior, turn off electronics, empty the fridge, and secure sails. Hose down the interior, wipe surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner, and clean vinyl seats, sealing them with a protectant. Store safety equipment and secure ropes in cabinets.

Exterior cleaning involves scrubbing off scum, removing salt etchings, washing with a boat wash, and freshwater rinse. Polish chrome, glass, and stainless steel, clean wheel hubs, cooling system, and trailer brakes. Flush out holes, add wax, and cover the boat with a tarp post-mechanical maintenance.

Maintenance

Performing Mechanical Maintenance Maintaining your boat's mechanical health is crucial for storage preparation. Steps include flushing the engine's cooling system, changing the oil, adding stabilizer to the fuel tank, disconnecting and trickle-charging the battery, closing the exhaust port, and checking trailer tires and brakes. In winter, remove coolant, change fuel filters, and drain water from plumbing, adding antifreeze.
