HOW TO PREPARE A BOAT FOR SHIPPING

 

There are a couple of things you can do to ensure a successful boat transport. This includes securing any loose items and taking precautions to avoid travel damage. Before dismantling anything on your boat, take photos so that you have something to reference when reassembling the boat after the transport. Then, remove all personal items from your boat. Clean your boat’s exterior and inspect for any damages. It is also advised that you have it inspected by a licensed marine surveyor.

  • 1. Pick a loading spot that has a 14' clearance.
  • 2. Secure all loose gear above and below deck.
  • 3. Close and secure any hatches; seal them to avoid any possible water damage.
  • 4. Cabin windows also need to be latched and taped from the outside.
  • 5. Drain all fuel and water tanks and remove any drain plugs from the hull.
  • 6. Disconnect batteries, and secure the cables away from it to prevent any contact.
  • 7.Consult with Universal Transport for any questions about this. Our team consist of professional boat transporters that will advise you on these matters before transport.
