When you pull your boat out of the water: Clean mud, plants, and animals off your watercraft and other equipment and dispose of them in the trash. Drain water-holding compartments like ballast tanks, live wells, and bilge areas.
Dry everything for 5-7 days in warm, dry conditions. If drying isn’t possible, visit a decontamination station and disinfect boats and equipment with hot water at 140 degrees F for 30 seconds.
