Mooring Questions

ishoot308 · 09-12-2016, 02:44 PM

So I have a 1000 lb concrete block that I use as a weight for my swim raft. When I take the raft out at the end of the year I would like to use this same block as a mooring as the low water levels especially this year have left me somewhat stranded. While I still have one useable space for one boat, it leaves us no other docking space for our secondary boat or any visitors who might stop by. (I currently have to park our secondary boat at my neighbors dock)

My questions are...

#1. Do you see any reason why a mooring permit would be denied for this reason??

#2. Having never applied for a mooring permit, where do I apply?

#3. Is 1000 lb concrete block enough weight for a 24' boat in a high wind area? (My raft never moved in 8 years!)

Thanks!

Dan
