Thought I'd start a thread on this topic as I'm putting a mooring in Boston Harbor but will still have the slip on the South Shore.
If the mooring experiment goes well, I may do it 100% as the cost savings are quite large. I'll have access via a yacht club but want to mitigate the bird bombing.
So far I have come come up with the following:
- Use a couple of spiders on the hard top and maybe cabin roof and rear fishbox lid.
- Use pink pendant flags on a line and put these between bow and stern.
- Paint top of hardtop pink (really don't want to do this, but people swear the gulls don't like pink). Only will consider if I go mooring 100%.
- Keep boat spotless and free of anything birds think is food.
If you have ideas, I'm all ears.
