Mouse on the Boat

[sbw1]

So whats the best prevention?

Moral of the story is to store in a clean, dry, tight, building with no food on board and hopefully no mice. The only mouse problem I've ever had was with the kids' Boston Whaler that was stored in our barn. The mice moved in because it was dry and warmer than sleeping on the ground. Fortunately, Whalers are very forgiving. We just hosed it out in the spring and the problem was solved. SRs have lots of expensive vinyl that can be ruined by rodents.

So whats the best prevention?

Don't leave food items on the boat, take out anything that will make a good mouse house like a pile of blankets etc. They only come in for two reasons, shelter and food.
