It’s never too early to start lake and river breakdowns. I am researching the Potomac River now, followed by Champlain, Oneida, and St. Lawrence.

I did the same. If you folks do this, make sure you get tinned double insulated wire to mostly match their wire.

Add some RV antifreeze to your live wells. Pour in just enough for the recirculating pump to run with the antifreeze, then drain it all out. I also pour a bit into the bilge. Store the motor vertically so all water can drain out and none can enter the prop exhaust. Also, remove any water-based products from your boat storage areas.

In the northern regions, I bring my batteries inside whenever possible. If that's not an option, I keep the Lead/Acid/AGM on the charger. I leave the lithium batteries at a 50-80% charge for long-term storage.
