Discover Boating, powered by NMMA and MRAA, in collaboration with Progressive Insurance®, launched the fourth video in its “Top Safe Boating Tips" series. The video titled, Master Boat Trailering Like a Pro, emphasizes that boating safety begins before the boat leaves the dock. It covers essential trailering safety tips, including the importance of adhering to weight capacity guidelines, securing loose equipment on the boat before trailering, ensuring proper loading and balance, and much more.

The fourth episode in the latest video series can be viewed below and on Discover Boating's YouTube channel. The five-part series covers crucial safety topics that all boaters need to be aware of for a worry-free day on the water, including the following topics:

• Safe Boating with Pets
• Refueling Best Practices
• Safe Seating Protocols
• Boat Trailering Techniques
• Proper Use of Navigation Lights

To further engage current boaters and the next generation, Discover Boating and Progressive strategically created these short-form videos (in addition to longer form versions) that can be shared on social channels, such as TikTok and Instagram—popular platforms Discover Boating’s target audiences use to consume digital content. Discover Boating will also be sharing the new videos via consumer email distributions and on its websites in the U.S. and Canada.

Industry stakeholders are encouraged to view and share these safety videos on your social media channels, consumer emails, brand website or play it on loop in showrooms, to provide valuable safe boating content for your customers.

Similar to the 2023 video series (viewable/shareable here), Discover Boating will share shorter cutdown versions to engage target audiences across social media platforms and promoted on the Discover Boating blog, DB TV section, and b2b.discoverboating.com.
