🌧️ HURRICANE PREP: Protect Your Boat Before the Storm
With severe weather approaching the Gulf Coast, now is the time to make sure your vessel is prepared.
Before conditions worsen, take a few minutes to:
✅ Secure your boat with doubled dock lines and chafe protection
✅ Check bilge pumps and make sure batteries are fully charged
✅ Seal and lock all hatches, doors and windows
✅ Shut off fuel lines and take precautions against potential leaks
✅ Photograph your boat and equipment for your insurance records
If your boat is currently in the water, check with your marina regarding its storm procedures and consider whether relocating your vessel to a safer location is an option.
Most importantly, prepare early, monitor official weather updates and put your safety first.
