When storing a boat over the winter, what is the best way to make sure mice
don't chew up anything?

Send the mice to Dr. NOYB for total extractions. :-)

I have scattered mothballs all over the inside of the boat, having heard
that rodents and other animals don't like the smell. It has worked, so far??

You're better off using traps than poison.

A poisoned rodent will often crawl into a very inaccessible little crevice
somewhere and die. The body will be out of sight, but you may never get the
smell entirely out of the boat.

I'm not a great cat fan.

I leave my boat in a marina over winter. At a marina in San Diego, some
people with a boat on the same dock had a cat that lived on board.

My boat had a full boat cover on it and their cat would come over (passing
up a dozen other boats) to my boat and do his nasty stuff in the coils of
line and sail bags on deck..

I complained to the marina manager but he would handle the problem unless I
could prove it was their cat. (Hmm! only cat on the dock).

I have tried the moth ball trick. Didn't work for me. Not only did it
not work, it appeared to me that the mice might have been actually
playing some sort of cool game with the moth balls.

Use traps. Not poison. Poisoned rodents will crawl into a small space
and die, stinking up your boat.

Make sure to put paper under the trap to catch body fluids.

Peanut Butter makes an irresistible bait. Check traps frequently, but DO
NOT HANDLE THEM. Use rubber gloves when removing from the packaging, or
removing used traps & dead rodents. Your scent will warn off the
critters. Do not re-use a trap, as the scent of the dead rodent will
warn other rats.
