Get some of the heavy rubber strips that are designed for permanent
attachment to a piling. That way you can lay along side it without
damage to your boat. Run a permanent piece of line from the piling to
the seawall. You will then be able to enter the slip and lay against
the piling and rope as you secure your lines to the pier.

Your idea may work. Maybe I was looking for a more elegant solution than
crashing into a piling, padded or not. I have to check with the management of
the marina as to what modifications they will allow me to make.
