Thanks for the picture- interesting setup ! I don't have that luxury, we have boats either side and literally have to back on to the pontoon wall - most marinas are like that here So I have 2 stern ropes onto the pontoon and 2 bow ropes attached to the same main rope attached to the sea bed at the bow Its quite a knack learning how to reverse into the mooring with limited space around ! |

With that setup the bow tie is the only thing holding the rig from pushing back into the "pontoon" dock. I would get some spring lines to offer some push from the dock side as a fail safe for sure. Or get a few BABs....big ass bumpers to cushion the blow in case of bow line slippage. |
