[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 56349, member: 123"] My first boat (Tracker PT175) sat outside year-round, as it wouldn't fit in my garage. Removed the batteries, covered it with a tightly stretched tarp (with a support pole beneath the tarp), gave the rims a good waxing, re-lubed the wheel bearings, applied some good tire dresssing to the tires, then covered them with plastic, secured with duct tape. It ain't pretty, but it works. I do the same for my current rig, and no problems. I never had any flat spots on the tires. I would occasionally tear a small hole in the plastic covering the valve stem, check the tire pressure, fill if needed, then cover the small hole with a piece of duct tape. I also cover the trailer tongue where the lighting harness plug is, and the winch to keep UV rays off the winch strap. No problems! :) [/QUOTE]
