Mooring Service
Many mooring anchors can become embedded in the mud and cannot be adequately surveyed by a diver, or the mooring can be in a location where currents and wind conditions cause the tackle to wear more. Servicing your mooring is a preventative measure to keep your boat and others around you safe from the hazardous conditions of a worn mooring system.
Rhode Island Mooring Services, Inc. has built a state of the art work boat specifically to install and service moorings. The boat is designed to safely haul the entire system on deck, for cleaning, inspections and repairs to keep your mooring in accordance with your towns’ safety specifications.
We offer an Annual Service Contract, $150 per year, which includes the following:
Fall Service
• Remove and clean the buoy and pennant
• Supply and install the winter stake or winter buoy
• Transport and store buoy and pennant
Spring Service
• Paint bottom of buoy with antifouling paint, repaint name
and number as needed
• Check all upper tackle, tighten and seize shackles
• Replace winter stake or buoy with your mooring buoy and
pennant
• Replace any worn components as necessary to meet
town safety requirements**
**Replacement materials are not included in price.
