Subject: Boat Docking


I have a 14 foot aluminum row boat with a small horse power motor on it. I also have a dock to tie it up to. I can be away from our cabin for as much as a month at a time.

If I put a boat cover on the boat and hook up a bilge pump to pump out any water that can get in, will this be enough to keep the boat afloat at the dock while I am away?

I'd rather not put it in and take it out every time I go up there and it seems silly to buy a lift for such a small boat. Has anyone tried anything like this? The concern, of course, is that rainwater will accumulate in the boat and sink the boat and motor while I am away.

I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks.
