Hello All
New owner of a Sea Ray and I have some questions about how to manage the boat at the dock. My boat is a 34' Express Cruiser. I will be storing it at a local marina and will be staying on it several nights a week to help break up a long commute.
Does anyone have any information (Books websites or other things you are willing to share) about how to tie up the boat, bumpers I will need etc.? I'd kind of like to look like I know what I am doing when I am first working with the boat.
I am assuming that I will back the boat in and that I will need swim platform bumpers. If so, where to get them? Any recommended brands? What about the proper tie up procedure? Lines run from where to where? Also, what about rope recommendations?
Anything you can share with someone just starting out would be great.
Thanks
Michael
