Default Summer storage in the water, on the hard, or my driveway?

What problems and extra maintenance will come up because of keeping the

in the water versus on the trailer?


Fresh water I assume? Very few issues as long as the docks are
sheltered from wind and waves, and security is good.


Yes, sorry, I should have stated fresh water. Does that change your
details at all (Jim)?


No. The conditions I described are encountered in both fresh and salt
water, with salt water being less forgiving on the I/O's.

If you are docking in freshwater, make sure you use magnesium sacrificial
anodes vs. zinc though.
