New Mooring

The application is easy and can be done yourself. As far as contractors, there are a number around that do it. Diversified did mine, although you can also use Watermark, Island Support, or any of the other marine contractors.

Fay's had an employee that did it on the side as well I think.

I have to agree with Codeman, the permit is pretty easy. I did mine and if I can do it, anyone can. You just need some basic info plus draw up a sketch of your property line and some simple measurements to objects around your proposed mooring site (I used a 100' cloth tape). The sketch can be pretty sketchy (professional drafter not required). Take a look at the permit first and decide for yourself if you can do it.

Plenty of contractors available to drop it in for you. We used Winnipesaukee Marine Construction, but they are on the south end of the lake.

Make sure you get a very strong mooring pennant and use stainless steel on all mooring chain and shackles.

Make sure to inspect the mooring pendant and chain annually.

I'd suggest getting an oversized mooring too. The cost difference is nominal and many of us end up moving up to bigger boats after a few years.
