You have to go back and review what I posted earlier. You would have a "mooring anchor" if you still had the ball attached. You removed the ball so now you meet the legal definition of "mooring", not "mooring anchor". And your admitted seasonal use is also covered in the RSA and still makes it a mooring requiring the requisite permit.
The key word here is "secured". Even though you have an additional tie point that does not meet the mooring definition, you are "secured" in part to a device that meets the legal definition of a mooring. The intent of the RSA does not allow for exclusion because you choose to tie your boat up at both ends. In other words your vessel is secured to both a device that meets the legal definition of a mooring and a dock. Moorings require permits on the big Lake.
I believe this is the explanation you will get when you do get through to the mooring folks.
Sorry, there is no easy way around this one.
