If I recall correctly, the Mooring application is on the Dept of Safety website, under "mooring program", or something like that. You have to write a few sentences as to why you believe you need the mooring and make a diagram as to where the mooring will be placed, relative to your shoreline, abutters, etc

You will also have to supply the information about the boat that will be on the mooring, (copy of boat reg). They do this to try to minimize, (eliminate), the chances of people just throwing in moorings haphazardly. Note that each spring when you go for that year's mooring decal, you will again have to provide a copy of the boat reg for the boat to be placed on the mooring.

Regarding size of the block, it is really a function of the size and weight of the boat. I had 1000 lbs of block and it held my 5000 lb, 25' Cobalt just fine. This year, I added a few hundred pounds of block, because I got a new boat that was in the 6000+lb range, and that works fine. I would also recommend SS chains and hardware...it is worth the extra $ up front.

Good luck!
