I have been in a small private club marina with 42 slips.. We have a boat chairman and everyone helps each other out.. I have not seen any formal
"Marina Rules". I have a small 18 foot skiff next to me with a Mercury outboard. I back in with my 27 foot Larson and my bow is tied to two front poles. I cross my lines at the back to secure my boat from shifting. He pulls his boat in forward and his stern does not extent beyong the poles. He DOES NOT cross his back lines from his cleat to the poles. He say he can't because the lines will damage his motor. I say Marina rules are that lines must be crossed so that during storms and high water boats will not crash into the next boat.
I found many black marks on my boat which came from his hard rubber rub rails. I recently asked him to cross his lines at the stern and he refused.
Is there a set of proper tying rules out there I can find and show him how to properly secure his boat.
The last 2 marinas I was in required us to back in and cross our lines to the poles and a spring line.. Minimum tying requirments.
HELP!!
