Protection against frost: how to winterize your boat

As temperatures drop, it is important to protect your boat from frost damage. Whether on land or in the water – these tips will keep your boat safe:

Drain water pipes and tanks: Protect pipes, tanks and toilet systems from freezing by draining them and using antifreeze.

Protect the engine: Flush the engine with fresh water and add antifreeze to protect cooling systems and seals. Check the impeller for wear.

Electronics and batteries: Store electronic devices dry and frost-free. Fully charge batteries or check the charge regularly.

Prepare the deck and hull: Clean the deck, remove dirt and seal any damage to the hull. A cover protects against moisture and ice formation.

Check anodes: Replace worn sacrificial anodes to prevent corrosion on key parts.

Use a high-quality cover: A well-fitting cover protects against frost, snow and UV rays.

Correct storage: Store your boat stably on land or in a frost-free zone in the water. Ice heaters or frost protection systems help to prevent damage caused by ice formation.
