The people serving you by pumping your gas don't really care about why you are boating, where you came from, or what your plans are. They appreciate a tip and the majority of people will tip them.
Most boaters will get gas less than 10 times per year. A $5 tip each time is insignificant compared to the cost of owning a boat.

Sorry for the confusion. The islanders I was referring to fall into the boat as transportation category.
I can't remember a time I have seen people that I know are island residents and using the boat to get back and forth give a tip so appreciate Steve-on-Mark's response showing it is the norm for some.
