With heavy rains and strong winds, it is crucial to take steps to protect your vessels from potential damage.

Here are some key tips to help you safeguard your boat against flooding and storm-related risks:

 

🔧 Secure Your Boat

Make sure your mooring lines are in good condition and properly tied. Add additional lines if necessary to keep your boat secure during strong winds.

 

🔋 Check Batteries

Make sure batteries are fully charged to handle any automatic bilge pumping. Consider a backup battery system in case of power failure.

Ensure all scuppers, drains, and bilge pumps are clear of debris. Test the bilge pump to verify it's functioning correctly, and consider using a secondary manual pump for extra protection.

 

⚠️ Stay Updated

Monitor local weather forecasts and be prepared to act quickly if conditions worsen. Don't hesitate to seek a safer location if your current mooring is exposed.

🔒 Seal Hatches & Doors

Double-check that all hatches, windows, and doors are properly sealed to prevent water ingress. Use waterproof covers if available to add another layer of defense.
