Here is a checklist to help you make sure your boat is protected in the event of a storm:

If you can, put the boat in a garage.

If you leave the boat outside, remove outboard motors.

Strip all electrical gear and removable equipment from boat.

Disconnect batteries.

Lash down the boat.

Fill the boat one-third to halfway with water (filling it all the way could break the trailer springs or axle).

Support the axle with blocks inside each of the trailer wheels.

Remove any item that could blow off the boat.

Place the boat away from trees or objects that could fall on it.
