Key points to remember as a boat owner:
-
Your boat and trailer must be free from vegetation before you launch and cleaned immediately after you exit a lake.
-
Bilge and live tank water must be emptied before you leave to prevent the spread of larvae.
-
You can be cited by local or state police if your boat trailer has visible vegetation on it.
