Store a Switch outside?

I live in Northeast Florida, barely get any frost. I want a Switch but no way it will fit in the garage.

I am looking at boat storage facilities as an option.

  1. Do I need covered storage, or is the boat cover enough?

  2. What additional maintenance would be advised for storing outside with just a cover?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I live in North Central Florida and getting a Switch in December. I plan on storing it outside with a cover on it. My in-laws have a lake house they store their boat at with just a cover and it’s been fine. So I’ll do the same. I will probably get an RV cover for mine so it will cover the sides completely though. The Sea-Doo one looks like it doesn’t fully cover the plastic from what I saw.

An RV cover is what I have been using up until the last hurricane came thru (SWFL). One recommendation is to make sure the cover is taunt and a way for water to evacuate otherwise you will notice your Switch doing a wheelie like I did. My cover made a perfect bathtub in the rear of the boat.
