Mooring
I inquired about mooring, Having 50 feet of frontage, wanting to get a mooring permit, having a 25 foot boat is a problem?

I am not sure about the rules. Someone will have them.
What I see as a potential problem is when you put a 5 foot line on the mooring your boat will swing a total of 60 feet. Will that interfere with your neighbors navigation? The weekly rental property next to mine has 40 feet of frontage and they have a mooring. Depending upon the size of the boat that their renter shows up with, and the length of the line they secure it with, it may spend a lot of time in front of my house. I haven't mentioned it..............yet. |

It would seem to make sense that since only a waterfront owner/association can get a mooring, that the expectation would be not interfering with the neighbors to either side, and that a mooring in the middle of a 50' frontage would allow 25' either side, total.
Aside of the tie-up line, how much does a mooring ball stray from center regularly? Sent from my XT1528 using Tapatalk |

While I agree with APS that we all pay for a view, we all also pay for the right to have access to the lake. with 50' of frontage you are allowed a dock, and I am sure that you can get a mooring permit.
With the idea of not wanting to have issues with neighbors you would want to make sure that the mooring was right in the middle.... being a lake and not tidal waters, you can get away with out much scope... the issue becomes the leader which at a minimum is going to be 3 feet.... Thus to "truely" stay in front of your property you limit your boat side.... However once again that is the reason for the permit to make sure you aren't going to unreasonably inconvenience your neighbor.... Additionally if you have a neighbor who complains because you have a few friends come over that tie up in raft formation from your dock and the end boat crosses over the implied boundary, then you could always keep a lead line to shore attached to your boat to limit its swing..... and keep crabby neighbors at bay....

Check with NH Department of Safety Administrative Rules under SAF C408.09
SAF-C408.09.b talks about restrictions as to where you can put the mooring. |

You pay for waterfront land not the view or water in front of it. Right or wrong, that is how it is. I don't know how someone could quantify a view. People in NYC think they have a view (I say what view). Water frontage can be measured.

You'd be hard pressed to convince folks that have waterfront or water view property that their tax bill doesn't reflect the fact they can see the water......

I understand that the view from a property may affect the property value, however, you can only really be taxed on the property that you own. We have seen enough discussions on this forum about who owns the water on the Lake to know that the taxpayers of NH do. Many of us have had neighbors whom have negatively impacted our views (and in our minds the value) from our windows, but the tax man doesn't care!

mooring
Spoke to marine patrol office, they said they would have to do a site visit in the spring to see if I can get one, My boat is 23-6 in length. May end up only being able to use my dock with whips.Thanks for all the input.

If that value is increased because of the location, view, frontage, topography, or whatever, that will be reflected in the taxable value. There is no "view tax" or "waterfront tax" but if your property is more valuable because of these things it's assessed value, and tax bill, will be higher. It is very simple. |

I think people wrap their minds around it just fine- this post is about a mooring. If your neighbor's boat is on a mooring; that may swing in front of your house, there is not an assessor in the world that will lower the assessed value of your home.

2) A long-time buddy called—also a long-time member of this forum, who's never posted—and expressed a solution having zero-movement to a mooring buoy. I'll give him a couple of weeks to join the discussion; otherwise, I'll steal the idea. .

..... so expensive?
Having noticed that some mooring balls are 18" diameter, and others are 12" diameter, am wondering what's the thinking when deciding whether to go with one size or the other? Also, was surprised to see a 12" mooring ball at Heath's Hardware, made by Taylor-Made, cost the incredibly high price of 129.95, and that's not including any attached line or swivel hardware ..... that's a lot of money for a 12" flotation ball ...... like why not just use an old clorox bottle and some 3/8" el cheapo yellow poly line and make a loop figure-8 knot.... which is very strong, durable and very lo-price. Believe Fay's sells a 200-lb concrete mooring block for $40.

Mooring Thoughts...
Quote:
_____________________________________ • I'd be concerned that NHMP would charge for two moorings, plus, it would nearly double your expenses—but any neighbors with undersized lots should approve of the arrangement. (Especially if they can share an anchor and installation costs). Quote:
• Polypropylene line, especially as it floats, is subject to getting run over, is prone to ultraviolet degradation and, as a mooring line, should be changed every season. A good point is that a Chlorox bottle is easy to see and would make your mooring permit easier to see—when they come looking. I'd take a few turns of line around the handle and epoxy it to reduce friction and wear. • The size of the mooring ball is determined by the weight of the chain securing the boat. (We used heavy woven line and a cork float). • Nearly all of the mooring balls that I've rescued had a center shaft that was nearly rusted-through. Were they "changed out" then wind-blown off a dock? • Member V-ger informs me of the availability of concrete "Habitat Moorings". They're located out of Maine, and sell to saltwater customers. Still, I wonder if scaled-down "habitat moorings" were plentiful in Lake Winnipesaukee—if the State would use them as well—would our crayfish population return? • Does The Neptune Society know of these? • The cousin of the crayfish, the Lobster, aggressively defend their concrete lairs! .

Mooring Info
The attached information reflects common costal practices that would give the lake boater a reliable mooring for years. The installer may want to modify how a mooring is installed to suit the local or length of use.

Mooring Info
A mooring is determined by the number of surface connections not the number of anchors.
Like most plastic cleaning fluid bottles bleach bottles are most often made of HDPE so epoxy is not likely to stick to them. CFR 33.62.35 Mooring buoys are white with a blue horizontal band...... The NH boating guide shows the same. Will the bleach bottle be equipped with a blue horizontal band? Was the woven line actually a braided line? If an "overhand loop" is used to attach a line to a ring or shackle it should be cow hitched to provide more bearing area and less abrasion producing motion. |

Good Question...
Quote:
• Offer to buy your neighbor a new mooring chain—then make it a really heavy mooring chain. (To pull renters' boats further towards the mooring block—and away from your dock). • Lastly: modify your downwind dock to permit easier departures. (Cut a corner off). This problem isn't going away and with boats progressively getting bigger on the lake, is likely to get worse at some time. .

looks like your neighbors mooring block is not in the middle of his property,based on what I had to go thru, the block should be in the middle, preventing the stern part of the boat from encroaching on abutters within reason. Your picture looks like almost the entire boat is on your property. I would speak to your neighbor and ask that mooring block be moved, The chain needs to have some slack in it. I would not buy your neighbor a new chain or modify your dock, you must pay big taxes to have that spot.

Thank you for the suggestions.
Before I cut off any dock or buy gifts for the neighbor I would like to research more about the mooring regulations. I would be surprised if they can have boats on a mooring that impede a neighbor's navigation. Since they have only 40 feet of frontage if there is a 25 foot boat on the mooring that swings 5 feet away from the mooring they are blocking 60 feet of frontage. What is not evident in the picture is the dock on the left is 40 feet long and 12 feet wide and I can put a boat on that side too. |

Move the mooring so the boat sits in the right location and that's the end of it. If your neighbors not a total clown he/she shouldn't have an issue with that absolutely reasonable request of putting his own boat (or his renters) in front of his own house. |

If thats one mooring then the pwc should not be on that hook.I'd start there.
