Boat Slip Question

[hammerin hank]

Can anyone tell me if there is an issue with shallow slips at the Belmar Marina?
I leased a slip on E dock, and was down there yesterday at low tide, took out my measuring tape and only had 27" of water in my slip?? My wellcraft needs 30" with the engine down.. I sent an email to the Marina office. Maybe they can move me out towards the end of the dock?

I don’t know the particulars of each of the docks at Belmar but I know a few friends who had boats there & they always had plenty of water. 27 inches is pretty close to the 30 you need & that slip has probably sat empty for a few months. Once u back into that slip a few times, I would think you will blow some of the bottom back & it will become a little deeper

Hank you should have came to our marina.
would have saved some money,, and had a place to park.
since they built the zoo over there, parking is at a premium

I was there in the AP days. Great family ran it. On site fueling. And only one bridge - Ocean Avenue.

That could be a very tough spot if he is out with just his grandkids.
Current RIPS there .

True by the bridge and main river it does. Tidal drop is what 5-6 feet?

But once inside marina the current is easily workable. My Grady with these damn twinned 200hp OMC Sea Drives did not back worth a damn. I had no problem in there docking.
