I was on a mooring in Wolfeboro for two or three years and we had a big bird problem. First thing you need to buy is netting which is relatively cheap. But I ended up spending a few hundred dollars for diversionary stuff like spinning spider things, etc..

However, we still ended up with Cormorants standing on our swim platform and they **** all over it. It’s not so much the expense.. It’s the annoying part of having to put all that stuff on your boat after you tie it to the morning ball. It gets a little tiring. Hopefully you won’t have bird problems.

We have a bowrider, and they are a little trickier to cover with netting then a pontoon boat. A pontoon boat is less of a challenge when it comes to keeping birds off.
