This is the first year I have had a boat and I don't know how to protect it against hurricane damage. Anyone have suggestions on measures one can take to protect their boat when it is kept outdoors? I live in Tallahassee and don't have it in a garage....

Thanks in advance!

About the best I can do is, locate away from trees if possible, fill with water if it's a fairly light boat "makes it harder to blow around" remove the batteries "don't want them under water" and pray

Half way with water depending on your trailer and if the boats covered.

Make sure its insured Thats really about the only "protection" you have if mother nature decides you don't need it anymore !!!

My hurricane preparations include the following:

Call your insurance company and make sure you are covered and all payments are up to date.

Hook the boat to the truck and load up everything I have to have.

Leave

Don't come back until things are cleaned up and power and water are restored.

Thats for storms three and above.

I had a Mako 20 that went thru Andrew in'92. We were hit with the blunt of the strom being just north of Homestead. I removed everything of value or that could fly off, flattened the tires and filled the hull with water.
Those that didnt secure their boats became flying projectiles.
