Introduction

The hurricane season is in full swing and the weather has been erratic. Hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, so make sure you are prepared for any emergency situation that may arise. In this blog post we will go over some tips on how to prepare your boat for the upcoming hurricane season:

First, prepare your location where you will store your boat.

The first thing you need to do is prepare your location where you will store your boat. You want to make sure that it is clean and dry, well ventilated and secure. It should also be located as far away as possible from trees, power lines or other boats that might be damaged in a storm. You may also consider protecting the outside of your storage area by adding shutters or other protection from high winds and rain.

Check for broken glass windows and damaged or rusty hinges.

Check all the windows and doors on the boat. Make sure they’re clean and clear of any damaged or rusting hinges. If you find any glass broken, be sure to replace it right away! Not only will it keep water out during a storm, but it’ll also help prevent corrosion from saltwater damage.

Look at the dock lines and clean them.

• Check your dock lines. If you have any that are fraying or cracking, replace them immediately.
• Make sure the knots are tight and secure, but not too tight that they cut into the line.
• Check all cleats and make sure they are secure as well, especially if you’re using wooden dock lines!
• Look at the lines for wear and tear – replace them if there is any damage to them (if they’re old).

Clean the interior of your vessel and make sure everything is secure.

To prepare your boat for the hurricane season, it’s important to make sure that everything is secure and you have a good storm checklist. The first thing you should do is remove all loose items that could become dangerous projectiles in a storm; this includes anything that isn’t bolted down, like tools and personal belongings. Make sure the interior of your vessel is clean and dry; if there are any leaks or moisture problems on board, fix them now so they don’t worsen during a storm. Finally, check the engine compartment for corrosion or moisture; if necessary, replace any hoses that are starting to show signs of wear from age or exposure to salt water (a good rule of thumb here is that if you can see through it without much effort then it’s time for replacement).

Do a thorough inspection of the engine compartment and make sure there is no corrosion, moisture or anything else that could harm your engine.

When inspecting the engine compartment, you will want to make sure there is no corrosion, moisture or anything else that could harm your engine. Do a thorough inspection of all hoses and clamps and make sure they are secure. Any loose connections should be tightened as well as any corroded parts replaced immediately.

Check for leaks around strainers, water pumps and thermostats by running some water through these areas while checking for bubbles or runoff on the surface of the water coming out of them.If you find any leaks in these areas take care of them right away before they become worse with time!

Finally, make sure you have a good storm checklist that includes all emergency information with emergency phone numbers on it.

Finally, make sure you have a good storm checklist that includes all emergency information with emergency phone numbers on it. This should include contact information for your insurance company, boat maintenance company and friend or family member who lives in another state. You should also include the local police department’s number in case there is trouble after the storm passes.

It is important to prepare your boat for hurricane season, especially if you have it stored in an inland location.

If you have a boat, it’s important to prepare it for hurricane season. Hurricanes can happen anywhere and at any time, so there is no way to know when the next storm will hit.

Preparing your boat for hurricane season means making sure that it is ready in case of an emergency. This means having a good storm checklist with all the supplies that you might need during an emergency situation (like food, water, blankets and flashlights). It also means preparing your car with emergency phone numbers and extra gas in case you need to evacuate quickly.

Conclusion

If you have a boat, it is important to make sure that it is ready for hurricane season. This can be done by taking care of some basic tasks like cleaning out any corrosion or rust from the engine compartment and checking all dock lines for damage. It is also important to make sure that there are no broken glass windows and that everything is secure inside the boat before storing it away for the winter months ahead.
