Air out the cushions and make sure they are dry. Stor-
ing damp cushions leads to mildew. Position the cush-
ions so air can circulate around them. Purchase and
position moisture accumulators throughout the boat.
These help reduce the amount of moisture that accumu-
lates during storage. Remove everything from the boat
that could spoil or freeze while the boat is stored. Also
remove all dried food. Food attracts mice and insects.
To give your boat the maximum protection while it is in
storage, Carver recommends that you place your boat in
dry, as opposed to wet, storage.
Protecting the boat from the elements during winter
storage is advised. Have your marina shrink wrap the
boat or have a winter storage cover made. Occasionally
check on the boat while it is in storage to make sure
that it is in good condition.
If your boat will be in outside storage, properly support
a storage cover and secure it over the boat. Do not
secure the cover to the boat too tightly. Allow adequate
ventilation to protect against dry rot. Do not store the
boat in a damp storage enclosure. Purchase and position
moisture accumulator packets between the shrink-wrap
and your boat's enclosures to help prevent moisture
from accumulating. Excessive dampness can lead to
mildew, electrical problems, corrosion and dry rot.
NOTE: Do not use the bridge enclosure, aft deck enclo-
sure, bimini top or convertible top canvas in place of a
winter storage cover. These are not designed for long-
term storage purposes. The life of these enclosures may
be significantly shortened if they are exposed to harsh
weather elements for prolonged periods.
Wet storage procedures vary from region to region.
Consult your dealer before preparing to leave your boat
in the water over the winter.
