Full winterization is built for freezing, outdoor exposure, and long idle periods. If you store your boat indoors at ~45°F all winter, you can skip the full winterization package—no shrink wrap, no antifreeze flushes for freeze protection, no exhaustive decommissioning.

Minimum prep still applies:

• Stabilize fuel and run it through the system.

• Fog only if OEM requires for non-freezing storage; otherwise inspect and lubricate per manual.

• Drain raw water from strainers/low points that could trap pockets.

• Battery on maintenance charge (our select units include electric).

• Clean, dry, and cover dust-only—no plastic wrap trap.

• Document service intervals so spring recommissioning is immediate.

Hwy 45 Storage serves West Bend and Kewaskum with climate-controlled ~45°F winter interiors and large bays up to 20×50 with 12×14 overhead doors—easy in/out for boats on trailers. Facility standards: paved driveways, LED lighting, 24-hour surveillance. Month-to-month terms let you dock for the season without long contracts.
