Sprinkle Boric acid powder around boat and docks. I mix with water and use pump sprayer.

Ortho Home Defense. Spray everything. Done. No more bugs or spiders!
You'll have to re-spray after each boat wash.Hard work pays off in the future.
Laziness, pays off now!

Re: bugs !!!!!
I don't like spray killers, so I use the Terro ant bait (boric acid), and put Roach Motels in various spots around the boat. Flip them over after 3 weeks, and replace every 6 weeks; they catch all kinds of little critters. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I rarely see a bug loose in the boat.
