After thoroughly cleaning the boat’s hull, rudders, struts and trim tabs, look into some quality boat covers. Boat covers will protect your boat from debris whether stored indoors or out. Of all the important winter preparations, boat covers are the most important in protecting your boat. Outdoors, Utah winters can be harsh, a boat cover will protect against the snow, and even against any critters trying to take cover. Boat covers are important even if you are storing the boat indoors for the winter because it will protect against dust or other things that could damage the interior and make for an unpleasant spring boating season.
