Boat Care & Prep Tips
Proper preparation helps protect your investment during storage.
Here are practical tips to keep your vessel shipshape:
- Flush your engine with fresh water after every salt or brackish water outing to wash away corrosive salt and sediment.
- Drain bilges, tanks and plumbing and let everything dry completely to prevent mold and mildew.
- Remove or disconnect batteries and store them in a cool, dry place; hook up a trickle charger to maintain a full charge.
- Use a well‑fitting, vented cover to shield your boat from UV rays and weather and allow airflow to discourage mold and mildew; support the cover to prevent water pooling (support poles and vents work together to shed water)
- Secure loose gear and valuables; remove electronics and expensive equipment to deter theft.
- Chock wheels and verify tongue and hitch locks so your trailer stays put during storage.

Comprehensive Guide to Choosing and Preparing for Boat Storage
1. Prioritize weather protection. Louisiana’s hot, humid climate and extended hurricane season (June 1 – November 30) mean boats left exposed are vulnerable to mold, mildew and storm damage. Enclosed storage offers the best protection because it shields your boat from heat, rain and UV rays, and covered storage strikes a balance by keeping direct sun and precipitation off while allowing air circulation. Outdoor parking is economical but exposes boats to the elements.
2. Prep your vessel carefully before storage. Based on our experience at Almighty Storage and industry guidance, thorough preparation is essential. Clean the hull and interior completely and remove any personal items. Flush the engine with fresh water for at least five minutes at idle, keeping it vertical so all water drains out. Treat fuel with a stabilizer and top off the tank; change engine oil and filters and check the cooling system. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place or keep it on a trickle charger. Control humidity by sealing leaks, using ventilation and moisture‑absorbing products.
3. Match the storage type to your boat and needs. Choose an enclosed space for maximum security and climate protection (ideal for higher‑value boats or delicate finishes), a covered spot for budget‑friendly shade and easy access, or an outdoor parking space for rugged, short‑term or seasonal storage. Always confirm the overall length and height of your boat and trailer to ensure a proper fit. Almighty Storage offers all three options with 24/7 access for approved tenants, wide drive aisles and on‑site assistance.Quick Summary
Almighty Storage in Prairieville has decades of experience protecting boats from Louisiana’s heat, humidity and hurricane season. Our enclosed and covered storage options—combined with 24/7 access, gated security and knowledgeable staff—make us the trusted partner for serious boat owners. For Louisiana boaters, choosing a secure enclosed or covered storage space like those offered at Almighty Storage is the best way to protect your vessel long‑term.
What’s the difference between enclosed, covered and outdoor boat storage?
Answer: Enclosed, covered and outdoor boat storage each provide different levels of protection and convenience. In an enclosed unit, your boat sits inside a private bay with a roll‑up door, shielding it from rain, sun and debris. Covered storage offers a roof overhead but open sides, providing shade and basic weather protection while allowing airflow. Outdoor parking is an open lot space that exposes the boat to the elements but is the most affordable option.After storing hundreds of boats through Louisiana’s storm seasons, we’ve found that enclosed units virtually eliminate UV and weather damage. They are ideal for fiberglass‑hulled boats, center consoles and higher‑value vessels because the walls and door protect finishes from sun fading and prevent rain from pooling. Covered storage suits weekend fishermen who need quick access but still want shade. Outdoor parking works for durable aluminum fishing boats or short‑term storage when cost is the primary concern.
Critical insight: For boats under 30 ft needing maximum protection, Almighty Storage recommends enclosed units; for frequent users who want shade and cost balance, choose covered spaces; and reserve outdoor parking for rugged boats and short‑term needs.
How should I prepare my boat before putting it into storage?
Answer: Preparation is the foundation of safe storage. Start with a complete wash—clean the hull and deck with marine‑grade soap and remove dirt and salt. Empty all lockers, cabinets and cabins of food, cushions and personal items; hot humid air makes fabrics absorb moisture and encourages mildew. Let everything dry thoroughly. Inspect for leaks and seal any hatches or portlights to keep water out.Next, service the engine. Flush the engine with fresh water at idle for at least five minutes and keep it vertical so cooling passages drain. Change engine oil and filters and lubricate moving parts. Treat fuel with a marine stabilizer and top off the tank to reduce condensation; run the engine briefly so treated fuel circulates. Disconnect the fuel hose on outboards and run the engine until it stalls to clear fuel from the carburetor.Remove or disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place; check charge every few weeks and use a smart charger when needed. Control humidity by keeping air moving: open lockers and install vents or solar‑powered fans. Use moisture‑absorbing products such as desiccant packs. Apply corrosion inhibitor spray to electrical connections and lubricate hinges, latches and steering gear. Finally, cover the boat with a breathable, well‑fitting cover or shrink wrap to keep out debris while allowing ventilation, and secure the boat and trailer with straps and wheel chocks.
Critical insight: Proper cleaning, engine flushing, fuel stabilization and moisture control dramatically reduce maintenance issues when spring arrives.
How do Louisiana’s weather patterns affect boat storage needs?
Answer: Louisiana’s climate is subtropical with long summers, high humidity and frequent storms. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and NOAA predicted an above‑normal number of named storms for 2025. Even during cooler months, humidity and sun can cause mold and finish deterioration. Mold thrives in warm, closed spaces and can grow in cooler weather when sunlight warms a boat’s hull.Because humidity accelerates mold and mildew, we recommend enclosed or covered storage with proper ventilation. Sealing leaks, installing vents or solar fans and using desiccant packs are vital to prevent moisture accumulation. Louisiana’s heavy rain and occasional tropical storms also make it critical to secure covers and tie‑downs. During hurricane season, owners should double all lines, remove canopies and biminis, and, if possible, choose enclosed storage to keep boats out of the water.
Critical insight: In Louisiana’s wet, hurricane‑prone climate, the added cost of enclosed or covered storage is justified by the reduction in weather‑related damage and mold growth.
What security features should I look for in a boat storage facility?
Answer: A secure facility is essential to protect your boat from theft or vandalism. Look for gated access with individual key codes, 24‑hour video surveillance, bright LED lighting and on‑site staff. Wide drive aisles make trailer maneuvering safer and reduce accidental damage. Many facilities, including Almighty Storage, offer optional smart‑unit monitoring that sends alerts if your storage unit is accessed. Some boat owners also choose insurance riders that cover theft or storm damage.In our experience, removing electronics and valuables from the boat and storing them separately reduces theft risk. Always lock your boat and trailer hitch, and use wheel chocks or boots. Choose a facility with well‑maintained grounds; a clean, orderly property usually indicates attentive management and better security.
Critical insight: A combination of gated access, cameras, lighting and staff presence—along with removing valuables—provides the best deterrent against theft and vandalism.

5 Steps to Prepare Your Boat for Long‑Term Storage in Louisiana
Clean & Inspect
Wash the hull, deck and superstructure using marine‑grade soap and remove any salt or grime. Empty lockers and cabins of food, cushions and personal items. Inspect and seal leaks around hatches, portlights and hardware. Clean and dry the bilge.
Service the Engine & Fuel System
Flush the engine with fresh water at idle for at least five minutes and keep it vertical to drain. Change engine oil and filters. Add marine fuel stabilizer and top off the tank, then run the engine briefly to circulate treated fuel. Disconnect fuel hoses on outboards and run until the engine stops to clear carburetors.
Remove or Disconnect Batteries & Electronics
Batteries discharge faster in high temperatures; disconnect or remove them and store in a cool, shaded place, checking the charge every four to six weeks. Remove electronics and valuables to deter theft.
Control Humidity & Ventilation
Mold thrives in stagnant air; ensure good airflow by opening vents and using solar‑powered fans. Place desiccant or moisture‑absorbing products in lockers and enclosed spaces. For cabins or compartments, consider chemical dehumidifiers. Remove cushions and bedding to dry storage when possible.
Cover & Secure the Boat
Use a breathable cover or professionally installed shrink wrap to shield the boat from debris while allowing ventilation. Secure the boat and trailer with tie‑downs and chock wheels; in hurricane‑prone areas, double all lines and remove canopies or biminis. Choose a secure storage facility with gated access and surveillance, such as Almighty Storage, and visit periodically to check moisture absorbers and ventilation.
Ready to protect your boat?
Based on our experience, enclosed storage offers maximum protection for boats under 30 ft or those with delicate finishes; covered storage provides a balanced solution for frequent weekend boaters; and outdoor parking works for rugged or short‑term storage. Prepare your boat by cleaning, servicing the engine and fuel system, removing batteries, controlling humidity and securing it properly.
