If it is possible you want to move your boat off the water and move it
inland. If it is not possible you want to tie it up, with extra lines and
spring lines, and keep it off of the dock. Even if it is covered by
insurance, you will have to pay for the deductible, put up the headache of
having it repaired, and anything you can do to minimize a claim is to your
benefit.

My insurance gives me an extra 10% off any year I do not file a claim, but
most importantly, it is the right thing to do to minimize the probability
you will have to file a claim.



I agree. But the question remains as what does one do with their boat when a
hurricane is forcast for the area adn the boat is kept in a slip at a marina
and too large to trailer inland? Obviously, this should be of great concern
for those who own expensive boats in hurricane country.
