Regulation Reminder
Section 16 - Fire Code
From time to time we like to review the
Regulations and remind tenants new and old of
what is expected and considered good practice
while in the marina.
When you are unplugging your shore power –
please remember to turn the breaker off prior
to unplugging the power cord. This will aid in
extending the service life of the equipment.
 Electrical cords must be a single, continuous
molded unit from the power pedestal to the
vessel. Marine grade, approved adapters
and connectors will be allowed at vessel end
only. Replacement ends must be sealed and
equipped with locking rings.
 All electrical cords must be professionally
manufactured and specified for marine use.
Cord size must be appropriate for the level
of service, including a minimum of ten (10)
gauge wire and SJ or SO rated insulation.
 The Port prohibits open flames or fires on
the floats, including charcoal or propane
barbecues, cutting torches, welders or
any burning that would constitute a fire
hazard. Marine grade propane or charcoal
barbecues, which are physically attached to
the boat as an accessory, are allowed to be
used in the marina. Freestanding grills are
not allowed to be used on the deck or on
the float.
You can receive credit to your account if we
place a boat in your slip for overnight use!
During peak times, it is highly likely that the
Port will be able to credit your account for use,
as all of our water moorage is fully occupied at
this time and guest moorage areas tend to fill
up with visiting boaters.
Help Keep Our Waters Clean!
Fishing and fish cleaning are not allowed on
the docks, finger piers or inside the marina
breakwater.
Remember fish waste may not be disposed of
into marina waters. This creates a dead zone
and may invite unwanted marine visitors. Please
help to keep the marina clean by cleaning your
fish outside the marina.
NO WAKE ZONE
The marina is a No Wake Zone. Please be
courteous to other boaters as you ingress or
egress from your slip.
Storage Available
Small Vessel Storage is available for dinghies,
canoes, and kayaks. Contact the Moorage office
at 425-775-4588 if interested.
