[Boydski]

1. Is your slip a single-boat slip or do you share the slip with one or more boats?

Share a slip with another (smaller boat).

2. Do you put your boat bow-in or stern-in?

Bow In.

3. Re the question above, why?

It's easier, boarding gate is on the starboard side, so we tie starboard side to the finger pier and prop walk pulls the stern to starboard.

4. Is your slip perpendicular to the main dock or is it an end/side tie?

Perpendicular and only 16' from the ramp.

5. What size is your slip?

50'

6. How much extra room inside the slip do you have around your boat?

Not much. Marina staff moved a smaller boat next to us to accommodate my 16+' beam.

7. Does your slip come with water? Power? Pumpout station?

Yes, water, 50 Amp power, slip-side pumpout.

8. Do you pay for pumping out? How far from your slip to the pumpout?

Yes, it is $5. A bargain and I don't even have to be on the boat. The staff pumps the boat out while it is in the slip.


I just noticed that you had a Sea Ray. We temporarily had a new 50' Sea Ray sharing our slip and there was barely room for fenders between the boats.

 

[markpierce]

1. Single slip
2. Bow first
3. Easier
4. Perpendicular
5. Something like 42 by 17
6. Lots. Boat is 36 by 13
7. Yes, yes, yes
8. Free if you do it yourself

Thanks for the photo opportunity.

[6-Pack]

For those of us who have a slip for our boat, here are a few questions for y'all.... No real reason, just curious and finding something to do to kill time till spring.

1. Is you slip a single-boat slip or do you share the slip with one or more boats?

Single slip

2. Do you put your boat bow-in or stern-in?

Stern in most of the time so that I can play in dinghy and not necessarily take boat out. Love me some marina cruising

Perp

[Tonic]

1. Is you slip a single-boat slip or do you share the slip with one or more boats? End tie shared with one other boat.
2. Do you put your boat bow-in or stern-in? Not really applicable, but usually I angle the bow in for a starboard tie.
3. Re the question above, why? So I can just lean out from the starboard lower helm and grab a midship line I leave tied to the dock.
4. Is your slip perpendicular to the main dock or is it an end/side tie? T-end of a long main dock.
5. What size is your slip? I pay for 60' (for the view). According to the slip map I'm allowed a beam of 35'!
6. How much extra room inside the slip do you have around your boat? Plenty of room fore and aft. I would guess I have about 500' abeam of me to the other side of the ship canal...but lots of big boats, bridges and floating bridge sections tend to use that bit.
7. Does your slip come with water? Power? Pumpout station? Yes, Yes (100 KWH flat rate, then metered) and No.
8. Do you pay for pumping out? How far from your slip to the pumpout? Typically I use the free pump out at Fisherman's Terminal, maybe 1/4 mile away. It's an easy tie-up and usually vacant. I have occasionally hailed one of the passing pump-out boats ($20-25) but I prefer being able to do a couple of rinses when I do it myself.

I guess it's only fair that I post my stats.....

1. Is you slip a single-boat slip or do you share the slip with one or more boats? Single slip
2. Do you put your boat bow-in or stern-in? Stern in all the time.
3. Re the question above, why? I tried going bow in one time but the bow pulpit and anchor are so long, to keep them from hanging over the dock I had to stay back so far I couldn't get on the swim platform. Also, backing in makes hooking up power easier, and that's a good thing.

5. What size is your slip? 20' x 60' Covered in a marina that's only about 5 years old.
6. How much extra room inside the slip do you have around your boat? The boat is about 14' wide at the beam so there's plenty of room. Almost too much.
7. Does your slip come with water? Power? Pumpout station? Comes with water on the dock. I pay for metered power, 30A 240V & 50A 240V.
8. Do you pay for pumping out? How far from your slip to the pumpout? The pumpout is free, and it's about 100 yards from my slip.
