Preparing Your Boat For Transport


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are several preparatory tasks to ensure the transportation process goes smoothly.


Check the condition: Thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of your vessel for any pre-existing damage, so you can identify any damage that may occur during transport. You may want to take photographs of the condition before its journey.


Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, and the majority of fuel: Pump out wastewater and other liquids, and disconnect fuel tanks to make the boat lighter and prevent potential leakages during transport.
