Check the weather before you head out and always pack extra layers just in case cool autumn air rolls through. Don\u2019t forget to keep rain gear onboard just in case!<\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fill Your Tank<\/h6><p>During less busier seasons, fuel docks may alter their hours. Instead of getting stuck out on the water, fuel up before you head out to ensure you\u2019ll have enough gas to make it to your destination.<\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Electronics<\/h6><p>We always recommend checking your electronics systems on a regular basis. With shorter daylight hours in autumn, it\u2019s best to ensure your navigation lights are working properly and that you have flashlights and extra batteries on hand too. With less boaters on the water during this time, it\u2019s important to make sure you VHF radio is working should you need to call for assistance.<\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel Safely<\/h6><p>No matter what season it may be, always travel safe! Aside from following safety protocol, ensure your electrical connection is safe too. The #1 cause of shore power failure and fires is caused by overheating due to poor electrical conductivity. Put your mind at ease and install&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/smartplug.com\/oldsite\/\">SmartPlug<\/a>&nbsp;to eliminate overheating and secure your electrical connection.<\/p><p><em><strong>Do you have any tips for autumn boating?
