Sweetness blowing out your slip in common practice as for my dock mates many of them do it as well. I not sure why you have a problem with it. I'm not thrilled with the idea of my boat sitting on my props at low tide. This helps a little it at least keeps me floating.

If this is considered dredging then no one should be aloud to leave there slip at less than high tide because they might be dredging a new channel. When boats pass through the channel they push silt into my slip, I just push it back from time to time.

No one's boats are facing into the fairway. Everyone is stern in

This is the problem every time someone from C or D dock comes and goes they push silt under our boats. During an out going tide blowing it back out you can see it passing through the wall at least most of it. Every time you come and go you push silt to your neighbors as well.
Dave the point is that most of the boats are stern into the dock so we are pushing slit under the dock were as you are pushing the silt into the fairway and sorry but I very much doubt that...
and there is a big difference between the normal coming and going of boats either down the fairway or into and out of a slip and sitting in your slip and running the motor in gear for serveral minutes.

Leigh, when you stir up the silt, it doesn't just go under the dock and drop to the bottom. It stays suspended in the water for quite a while and drifts with the current. The muck you stir up when you pull out ends up under Bobby's boat and in the fairway in front of him.
The silt from the guys on the other side of your dock ends up under you.

Look bottom line and then I wont feed into this topic anymore. I have done this twice last year and I expect to do it at least once this year.
If you like I have come to the marina and found your boat wasn't floating at low tide there are two choices leave for deeper water or blow out your slip and make the best with what you have. Keep in mind this was not my idea I was told to do it I never had such issues with my last boat. If you look back to the original statement about this:
Robinsnest "Problem with diesels is that you can't 'clean out' your space, with diesels, the cleats on the docks with rip out....."
It seems obvious to me that I'm not the only one here aware of this practice. I guess the mistake I made was admitting it. So say what you want I'm happy here at SPBM but I would not be happy sitting on the bottom every low tide. I understand there are extreme tides that I cant do anything about but my concern is the normal daily tides.
Now lets get back to the topic although Mothers day has past Bob still has a job to do, He needs to stay focused to provide us with good weather for this upcoming weekend.

I have no problem admitting that I did it when I was at SPBM. When my boat starts listing in the slip and mud starts spewing out the A/C thru hull, I am going to do something about it before something breaks.
Everytime I left the slip I was dredging it out too.........

It's a helpless cause, if I run my boat in the slip I'm pushing it under ron's boat and if he runs his, it's going back under mine, not alot you can do but deal with low water.
And lighten up Dave we all do it and I am just giving you a little sh1t for admitting it on here.
I really don't care if you blow out you slip everyday.. It's onlhy silt and moves with the tides regardless of our attepts to get a litttle more water.
FYI: you should always assume I am busting balls... and feel free to give it back.

That would require your boat to actually be IN the water.
