Simple
steps to help keep your boat safe,
save money and keep your boat in
excellent condition. |
- Empty
fuel and water.
- Paint
thinner, paint and other
hazardous substances cannot be
shipped, remove them.
- Disconnect
all battery cables.
- Remove
any device or fixture that
extends beyond the hull of the
vessel such as antennas,
radar, compasses or depth
sounders. These devices should
be secured inside the vessel
for shipping.
- Remove
the plug from the craft.
- If
you are moving the boat during
the winter months, then you
need to
winterize
the engine, toilets, the water
systems or any other weather
sensitive device on the
vessel.
-
Cabinet doors, drawers and all
lockers within the boat should
also be closed and secured.
Close and lock all ports,
hatches and windows and then
tape over the locking devices
themselves. Store and secure
Plastic and Plexiglas
windshields below.
- When
moving a sail boat, Remove all
standing rigging, lights,
spreaders, wind indicators and
all other types of mast
rigging prior to transport.
- Additional
shipping preparations for
sailboats include removal of
all standing rigging,
turnbuckles, masthead and bow
lights. Antennas, spreaders,
wind indicators, wires and
mast winches should all be
removed from the mast after it
has been unstepped.
- Deposits
of road dirt and tar occur
during shipment. Proper
Shrink-wrapping
your boat can prevent
this.
- All
personal belongings should be
removed from the boat before
transport. These include cash
and valuables, clothing,
sporting goods or any other
materials that are not part of
the vessel.
- Make
a written itemized list of all
personal belongings and
equipment. The driver should
verify the list with you prior
to shipment.
The above is a suggested method.

Boat
Hauling Warnings |
NH
Mobile Marine Services prides
itself on its friendly,
inexpensive and expert service. We
are independently owned and
operated. When you are making your
boat transporting decision, please
refer to this list when asking for
quotes. |
-
when dealing with Boat
Brokers. (We and many others
have learned the hard way.)
- Make
sure the carrier has
operating authority. If a
carrier is caught crossing
the state line with a load
and doesn't have operating
authority, the cargo can be
confiscated and you may have
to go to court to get it
back.
- A
poor
shrink-wrap
may tear due to the high
winds generated by road
travel. If this happens, the
vessel could suffer damage
from the shrink-wrap
beating, chaffing and
scratching the vessel.
Carriers aren't responsible
for damages caused by shrink
wrap.
- Most
Quotes will be given based
upon the miles to be driven,
always ask how many miles
were used to calculate your
rate.
- If
the Company quoting you
includes permit costs, ask
if you could pay for those
directly based upon receipts
provided upon delivery.
- If
the party claims to be fully
insured, ask for a copy of
the insurance certificate.
- If
additional escort vehicles
are quoted as part of the
cost for the move, ask if
you can pay for the escorts
separately at the time of
delivery, with proper
documentation.
- Does
the name on the truck match
the name on the contract,
often a Motor Carrier may
supply a truck from another
company, or an
owner-operator. Either the
Truck is 'leased' to the
carrier and under his
control (which is ok) or he
has 'Brokered' the load
because he didn't have a
truck in the area when it
was needed. This is fine if
the party has D.O.T. Broker
authority, but he should
tell you first.
- Arrangements
to load and unload are
normally the responsibility
of the owner or shipper,
this includes locating and
contracting with companies
at both ends to load and
unload your asset. Normally
you will pay these directly
to these companies in
advance, the carrier will
not usually participate.
- If
valuables are stowed in the
boat/yacht and they are
missing, the carrier accepts
no responsibility for
anything that is not
attached or locked up in the
asset, unless the carrier
has accepted the keys and it
hasn't been broken into.
- If
the party claims to be a
Motor Carrier, ask for a MC
(motor carrier number) or a
D.O.T. Number (Department of
Transportation Number). Or
go to www.safersys.org, and
look it up. If the party is
not a Motor Carrier, ask for
a copy of a Forwarder or
Broker's authority, and some
references.
