Starting the Boating Season

Tahoe Buoy and Mooring Service

As for your boat at the beginning of the season you check the oil level, make sure the hoses are hook up, battery charge, fill the gas tank and start her up to make sure that everything is working. Or better yet get someone else qualified to do it for you. Now you make sure that the boat insurance is up to date. If you are like a lot of us boaters on the lake you have paid for your BoatU.S. Membership. You can beat it if your boat breaks down on the lake. They have towing and even gas if you run out. Now for the check off list!! Mandatory items that the Coast Guard requires, mooring lines not fade, anchor and don’t forget the sun block.

You get your boat to your buoy and hook it up. Time to enjoy the beautiful summer at Lake Tahoe. No other lake can compare to Lake Tahoe for beauty and clear water. Mean while over the years your mooring chain, tackle and buoy have been wearing. You really don’t think about it but it is happening all year long. Your mooring is one of the most important pieces of boating equipment in the water. Some things for you should think about.

Is your mooring sized for your boat? You would be surprise how many moorings that are not suited for the sized of the boat. Can your mooring handle the storm conditions? What level of wear is on the components of your mooring?
