BIA Victoria - Moored Boats

Moored Boats – Cruisers, yachts, large fishing boats

1. Slip and clean your boat regularly (at least every year and anytime there is a build up of fouling).
   
2. Select an antifouling paint suited to your boats activity, and apply it correctly following the manufactures advice. Renew it when persistent fouling occurs.
   
3. Check your boat for fouling every month (any plants or animals attached to your hull, propellers, anchor, cables, fenders, cordage, tenders etc).
   
4. Treat internal seawater systems regularly – flush with freshwater or an approved treatment.
   
5. Dispose of sewage and bilge water at an approved pump out facility. Waste could contain pests, their eggs or plant spores.
