Boat owners are responsible for damage to dock structures and pilings. In the event of an emergency, the marina reserves the right to move boats to other mooring places. The major cause for the damage is poor boat maintenance. It includes caring for your boat properly when not in use and operating it correctly when in use. You must take into account how much boat maintenance will costs you over the life of your boat. It may also be possible to buy some of the boating accessories used from dealers or private individuals, resulting in some savings.
