Thanks for the tips guys. I was thinking I might make something out of a tennis ball cut in half attached to a dowel or something like that. I've slipped boats before but never put one on a mooring so I'm a little concerned. I have two batteries installed to keep up with any rain water that might make it into the bilge. I don't have the rear cockpit cover that comes down from the bimini top so some water might make it's way down into the bilge from the cockpit.
Now I just need to hear something from the city about the mooring permit etc.
Can't wait to get this thing in the water. It should be lots of fun with that V6 pushing that V20 around. Big change for me when comparing it to the Rosborough(slow!).
