BIA Victoria - Trailer Boats

Trailer Boats, canoes, kayaks jetskis

4 key steps to keep your boat and gear clean and dry.

1. Remove any weeds, animals or sediment from your boat, trailer and gear and put it in the bin – NOT back in the water.
   
2. After each trip rinse your boat, trailer and gear with fresh water, in your yard or at a carwash. If you can’t do this because of water restrictions go to the next step.
   
3. Drain all the water from your boat and gear, but don’t let it drain back into the sea.
   
4. Dry your boat and gear completely, including ropes and anchors. Tiny eggs and plant spores can survive in a damp area for months.
