Bring all of your lifevests and cushions home. Rinse them off to remove any
salt from the vest. Clean up any mildew with OxiClean, hang them on coat
hanger to dry. Store in a dry area. Clean out the boat with OxiClean boat
soap. Let all storage bins air dry, keep storage areas open for the winter.
The wakeboards and skis should not be damaged by the cold, but mildew can be
a major problem if you let the storage areas remain damp.

Salt Water is hydroscopic and will pull moisture out of the air, making it a
idea area to grow your own mold culture. It is amazing how much mold can
grow over the winter. So make sure you flush out the boat completely.

Anyone have any tips on storing Neoprene lifevest, wakeboards and rafts
for the winter time? I'm up in NJ and it gets freezing... leave them in
boat? inside?

Thanks ! !
