I had a conversation with a manager at our marina and storage facility.
I asked what would happen if the heat were to fail with indoor heated storage and the boat was not winterized meaning the blocks cracked as well as other damage like the air conditioning system, fresh water system, generator, etc.
His answer was that neither their insurance nor my insurance would cover the damage.
I am going to be doing a complete winterization this year, my first time ever. After his comment and my resulting decision I got to wondering just why I am paying for indoor heated storage vs more economical indoor storage without heat?
If you have indoor heated storage:
#1) Have you checked into what would happen / who would pay for repairs if the heat failed and damage occurred?
#2) Do you still perform a complete winterization even after paying for indoor heated storage?
