Public dock protocol

[Lakegeezer]

I barely trust my wife to tie up my boat. Why would I trust a stranger. The days of assuming a boat captain knows what they are doing are long gone. Captain Boneheads are everywhere. I don't think its common protocol anymore to move someone elses boat. While it is unlikely that you would get arrested for moving a boat, you might be in trouble (legal or physical) for participating in a fight that the boat owner picks with you.
