The second question I did want an answer to. If you read the laws that were posted above, it sounds like there is a rule that you need to be 150' from shore while anchoring your boat. I never knew this-maybe I am reading it wrong. That is why I was asking the question-I guess I am just in disbelief that there is such a rule. However, it may explain why I saw MP one day go up to a boat that was anchored and the boat moved about 40' forward. I didn't know what was said to make him move but now it all makes sense.



(3) Anchor a single boat and cause it to remain stationary upon the waters of a lake or pond, other than momentarily, if any part of such boat is:
a. Less than 150 feet from shore;

This only applies to the no rafting zones. Also some NRZ's have modified restrictions.
Maybe you are saying it applies to no rafting zones but when you take it out of context it just confused me.
Sorry for giving you a hard time.
