Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, UK


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are several preparatory tasks to complete to ensure a smooth transportation process. Plan ahead to give yourself sufficient time to prepare and find a suitable transport service.


Inspect the condition - Thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your vessel for any pre-existing damage. This will help you identify any damage that occurs during transit. You may want to take photographs of the condition before transportation. Remove valuables - Ensure you take all valuable items off your boat before it's transported, as these will not be insured.


Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, and most fuel - Pump out wastewater and other liquids. Empty freshwater tanks and rubbish, disconnect fuel tanks, and empty most of the gasoline to make the boat lighter and prevent potential leakages during transport.


Disconnect the battery and tidy cables - This precaution will help avoid draining the battery and any electrical shortages. Although your boat is designed for water, it may be exposed to various weather conditions during land transportation.
