If you had paid to use it and it failed you would expect to be compensated for your boat damage. If it did not have a boat rating size on it, it could have been for a dingy. You tied to an unknown bouy and it failed. I would start with finding out what you are replacing. If it is one that is designed for your size of boat I would say you are paying for more than you brock. Pay for what you brock not what the owner wants.
Depending on what is required to fix the mooring $750 is not at all unlikely.
I had a mooring put in last summer and the barge time alone was $250 / hr.
That was someone else property, not only does he have to fix it but he's lost the use of it and may have to pay for another place to keep his boat.
I agree with the 'personal responsibility' position.
