	MOORING ANCHORS AND BUOYS, INSTALLATION
	We install complete and legal mooring systems. However, it is not as simple as just plunking down a big anchor, chain and buoy. First of all, the big question is "Do I want a legal mooring" or alternatively, " I don't really care if it is legal or not: I just want a mooring." Your answers to these two questions determines the procedure that will be used and which mooring installer you would be most happy with. If you click on this link, your will open a section dealing with many of the most important considerations that you should think about before committing to the installation of a boat mooring.
