Where is this boat ????? Outside on a trailer?????? To keep mice out of our camping trailer, when we park it for winter I sprinkle poison mice pellets all around underneath and beside our parking pad....and also place some mouse poison blocks around...........seems to do the trick !!!

Poison. It turns them into dust!! I wouldnt shrink wrap. Keeps moisture in. And mice will chew threw it.

I very carefully tarped mine and really wrapped it tight and tied it so there really werent any holes for mice to get in. Also placed dial soap bars on both sides in the gunnel. And i very loosely replaced the drain plug. No mice. Only did that for one year though. Now its in a heated shop all winter. Good luck.:beer:

I've had good luck with moth balls around in inside of the temp. garage mine is stored in. Never seen any hints of mice. Use the same trick around the RV. Nothing has been in or around them. My garage on the other hand...........

I just seen some stuff at the local RV dealer that they say works its suppose to have the scent of mice predators might try it next year. Also park boat on washed rock or pavement mice dont like to be in the open. Bounce sheets and soap I think are myths as i have not had luck with them in the past. I do also spread moth balls around (set on tires, in the rims, on the frame, ect) of what ever I am trying to protect from mice.
