Mooring
 

Don't you worry about a motor boat running over it?

If it does get torn off.... you still have 20 feet of floating line
[yellow/
1/2"] to snag. That won't rip off. It would be a rare occasion to remove
the
2x4.... but I've seen it happen with 7 feet of ice and -45 temp all
winter.

Mooring is 12-15 feet deep at high tide.....
Hardly no traffic......none in winter time....

How deep is the mooring? Is there lots of traffic over the mooring area?

10 feet of poly.... pick it back up at low tide. The chain will lay to the
bottom.

No.. that's not a big issue. If it happens you can still find the chain by
the floating line remaining. Our tides are 7 feet.
In ice... long lines and buoys get dragged and ripped. Short lines and small
blocks of wood.

Plus I can always dive it for Tomek next spring for a bottle of air and a
bottle of rum. ;-)

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money

Horass, I tell you to do the same, but I don't want to be responsible for
you dying on the ocean in that lousy boat of yours.
