Boat winterization checklist
23 checks across the six systems that freeze, drain or rot a boat over winter — ordered the way water moves through her, the same order a professional yard works. Tick them off here, print one page for the dock, or save the result into Neraya with your boat's notes.

How this checklist is built
The list is distilled from manufacturer storage walk-throughs (Mercury Marine), marine insurance lay-up guidance (BoatUS) and the full Neraya winterization guide. The order is not arbitrary: it follows water through the boat — flush while warm, drain what holds, protect what spins, cover what's left. Insurance adjusters ask for proof of lay-up after freeze claims, so print the finished checklist and date it — that page is your evidence.
After the last check
Freeze damage is one line of your season's costs among many — haul-out, storage, antifreeze, the spring commissioning. Neraya keeps all of it: say “hauled out, $320, shrink wrap” and it lands in the boat's memory with the receipt. Start free in the app →
Keep this checklist with the boat's memory
In Neraya the checklist adapts to your boat's systems, saves with dates and photos, and turns every cost into the season ledger.
