Due to one of life's curve ball, I may not be able to launch this year. I am not able to go into the reasons right now, but I am looking at a few options.
Now my questions of what to expect:
1) Do I uncover the boat or leave it covered? Possibly open each end of the tarp to allow air to flow through and open windows?
2) What about the well stabilized 120 gallons of gas I have in the full tank?
3) Outdrive seals, anything to worry about if not used for one season?
4) Batteries? Take them out and place on a maintainer charger?
I would replace the bellows (exhaust and universal joint) as a routine maintenance since they would be out in the sunlight, and have to reblock it so it did not sink into the asphalt when the temp gets hot.
Thanks for any tips. Like I said, it is only a possibility of not launching, I have until March 10th to decide if I have to give up the slip and go back on the waiting list.:sorrow:
