Help! Boat isn't going to be used until next summer.

Hey everyone!

I've had to come to the realization that I might not be able to get out on the boat this summer. Between my parents having some medical issues, my work schedule and my kids activities we might be taking this year off on using the boat. I winterized it the end of last season in October and it is stored indoors. Do I need to do anything else if I don't take it out at all this season? Thanks in advance

Even with stabilizer in the fuel, it can still go bad.
Maintain the batteries.
One year wont hurt it.
Spray plenty of T9 or similar spray over engine compartment and pumps etc

Say a bunch of Hail Mary's or something. I'm not Roman Catholic, but I am pretty sure the boat sitting all summer without use is a sin!

Nah, @Neutron is correct. It will be fine. You will recover next summer when you can actually get on it.
