subject: How To Transport A Boat [print this page]

Your happiness of getting a great deal on a boat sale can sometimes be

tarnished when you realise how difficult it can be to safely and

securely ship such a large item. Although it is tempting to sign up

for the cheapest transportation option, spending a little time making

sure your boat will be in safe hands is a worthwhile investment. When

selecting a carrier to transport a boat, keep in mind that asking

about their level of experience, licensing, and insurance is just as

important as their pricing.

Tips on How to Transport a Boat

* Be sure to measure your boats overall length, width and

breadth accurately as there may be regulations in place relating

to the size, and so that you will be able to give the most

accurate dimensions to your carrier.

* Drain any fuel or water from all tanks.

* Secure any loose boat gear or remove it in order to prevent damage

to your boat due to road vibration. Be sure the deck is clear and

there is nothing that can come loose and damage the interior.

* Disconnect batteries and tie or tape together any electronic

cables, which should also be secured.

* Removable radios, radar systems, etc. can be removed, packed

securely and shipped separately or securely stored below.

* Lock all interior doors and check that lockers are securely locked

or fastened. Also consider securing hatches with tape.

* Remove all items that protrude from the boat such as propellers,

antennas, lights, flags, etc., and secure below deck or ship

separately.

* Canvas covers should not be used while shipping a boat and also,

be sure to check with your transport provider regarding the use of

commercial plastic wrap.
