How to dock a boat. Docking your boat in a boat slip. Parking or docking your boat at a marina in a boat slip seems pretty straight forward. But if you just use docking lines to tie off a boat at the four corners, you could be putting your boat at risk if there is a chance of a really low tide or really high tide. In this video I show how to use a boat slip, where to tie off your docking lines, what a spring line is used for, the best way to tie your boat off and demonstrate WHY it is the best method to keep your boat safe from severe tidal changes at the marina.

Keeping your boat in a boat slip at a marina is convenient and makes it very easy to take your boat out. I learned from trial and error what can happen if you fail to tie off your boat properly to allow for tides, currents, and changing weather conditions. This video uses a scale model to clearly demonstrate why one method of tying (or tieing) off docking lines is much better and preferred instead of just securing a boat directly at the four corners. I also explain how and why we use a spring line, which is an easy way to keep your boat from hitting the pier once the boat is parked in the slip.
