As the Fall months creep into our calendars, boat owners in cooler climates acknowledge, with sadness, that it’s time to put the boat away. Outside Storage? It’s a thought and an option but consider that you may be threatened by snow build up, tornadoes or hurricanes. The success of storing your boat outside depends on how well your boat is protected from the conditions outdoors.                          Rinse/Flush Rinsing the outside of your boat and trailer thoroughly with fresh water will remove excess salt. Pay particular attention to your trailer’s leaf springs, wheel hubs and brakes that are constantly submerged during launching and retrieval of your boat. Flush your engine's cooling system with fresh water in line with your engine manufacturer’s salt removal recommendations. This will minimize corrosion and overheating issues come spring. Drain your boat of all water – bilge, head, sink lines, water tanks, sea-cocks, and pipes. If you are in an area with extended periods of freezing, put antifreeze in the low parts if there is still some water present. Salt Watch out for salt. Buy a good salt remover to minimize corrosion. Add fuel stabilizer to top off your fuel tanks. Here is one recommended by CLR Marine. Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer & Performance Improver - 32oz *Case of 4* STA-BIL Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer is a diesel additive that keeps fuel fresh for quick, easy starts and maximized for engine performance. Designed for use with all diesel engines, and all diesel fuels, Sta-Bil Fuel Stabilizer Diesel formula prevents sludge and sediment formation, cleans and lubricates fuel injectors to improve performance and helps remove water. It is safe to use and recommended for use at every fill up, with the 32 ounce bottle treating up to 320 gallons of fuel. Batteries Remove the batteries from your boat and store in your garage or basement. Batteries should be connected to a battery charger that will give them a good charge and one that w automatically switches to a float/trickle charge to keep your batteries topped up. Match your charger to the type of battery you are charging. Using a charger manufactured for lead acid batteries to charge an AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery will cause damage to the battery. If you choose to keep your batteries in the boat, connect a solar trickle charger. These chargers will keep your batteries topped off without the hassle of removing heavy batteries from your boat. Cleaning Clean the exterior with the proper fiber glass or wood cleaner needed for your boat. Bright work can be cleaned by removing the wood or cleaning it as it is - installed. Be careful to not get the wood cleaner onto the deck surfaces. The exterior should be dried with a chamois cloth. Vinyl seat cushions and backs should be cleaned with vinyl cleaner. Hard surfaces inside the vessel can be wiped with all purpose cleaners. End your cleaning with a coat of wax to the exterior and polish. Don’t forget the bottom paint. Before you store, spend the time to give your boat a thorough cleaning. CLR Marine has many products by trusted brands such as Powerhouse, Davis Instruments, Jabsco, Shurhold, and Swobbit, to help winterize and clean. You will be grateful in the spring during launch time that your boat is already clean as the new boating season begins. Cover Up If you store outside in your yard, driveway, or a boat yard, a boat cover is a must to prevent damage from winter conditions. Leaving your boat in the water is not recommended. The boat is exposed to rough weather, and has a greater possibility of sinking if you aren’t monitoring it often. https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/boat-outfitting/winter-covers.html and https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/winterizing.html Circle May 21, 2022, on your calendar. The date is almost ten days before Memorial Day, next year when most harbors open for the season. Start your prep work, tune-ups, sanding, and painting to get out on the water and a great boating season. In the meantime, during the cold winter months, cozy up to the fire and read your boating manuals, new safety regulations and weather information. Fair winds and smooth sailing.   To obtain more information about the products and services mentioned in this article, please get in touch with CLR Marine https://www.clrmarine.com/. _________________________________________________________________________ Award-winning author Cheryl Kuba has been at the helm for more than 30 years sailing the Great Lakes, with side trips to the British Virgin Islands and St. Maarten.

PedestalPod with RAM Mount Pre-Cut for Lowrance HDS-9 Gen2 Touch, HDS-9 Gen3 & HDS Carbon 9 - Carbon Black PedestalPod with RAM Mounts is specifically designed for mounting the fishfinder near the bow on Bass Boats. Built on the foundation of NavPods popular range of waterproof housings for marine electronics, PedestalPods position your fishfinder/chartplotter at an easy to reach 20” off the deck. This allows the user easy access to the display for changes to range, zoom or even control the trolling motor. There is a big difference between reaching down to a height off the deck of 20” to control your fishfinder compared to reaching all the way down to the deck when it was only bracket mounted.  PedestalPods are manufactured with a double gasket system that provides an excellent watertight seal. This offers protection of your fishfinder/chartplotter from the harshest of wet boating conditions.  This protection assures reliability and longevity of your marine electronics. PedestalPod with RAM Mounts utilizes the proven RAM Mounting system with the large 2.25” rubber “D” size ball and the RAM pin-lock security solution.  RAM Mounts are designed with a patented rubber ball and socket system that allows an almost infinite amount of ways to position the angle of the fishfinder for that precise position of viewing. When you might be trailering, or storing the boat, the display can fold flat onto the deck with only 10” of clearance.  This will allow most boat covers to fit over the PedestalPod when not in use. Your fishfinder is easily flush mounted into the pre-cut face of the NavPod. There are pre-cut models available for 7”, 9” and 12” LCD displays from all major marine electronic manufacturers. PedestalPods are waterproof housings for marine electronics specifically designed for bass boats. PedestalPods are better than bracket mounting. Very sturdy and secure, yet clean and attractive, this mount provides protection of your marine electronics from the harshest of wet boating conditions. PedestalPods provide the convenience of height for accessibility and added security with protection from theft. PedestalPods position your fishfinder/chartplotter at 20” off the deck and located near the bow and at a 45-degree angle for ease of viewing while fishing. This allows the user to easily reach and access the fishfinder/chartplotter for changes to range, zoom or even control the trolling motor. All NavPods are manufactured with a double gasket system that provides an excellent watertight seal. They keep harsh spray off the electrical connections on the back of your fishfinder/chartplotter assuring reliability and longevity of your marine electronics. Your fishfinder/chartplotter is easily flush mounted into the pre-cut face of the PedestalPod. The heavy duty, black powder coated aluminum pedestal tube is 3” in diameter with a 5” round base and has a large 1.75” opening providing plenty of room for running wires and connectors internally for a very clean look. It provides protection for wires and connectors from water intrusion, UV exposure or damage from just getting kicked or snagged and ripped out of their sockets. All NavPods come with a security wrench and nickel chrome-plated stainless steel tamperproof screws for protection from theft. PedestalPods are available pre-cut for 7”, 9” and 12” LCD displays from all major marine electronic manufacturers. Constructed out of durable ABS like all Gen3 NavPods, black carbon PedestalPods have the same high gloss finish with UV stability. NavPod backs up their commitment to quality by offering a 10-year warranty on all Gen3 NavPods. PedestalPods – Protection, Convenience, Security
