All advice above are excellent! When I wax the bottom of my boat, I usually leave the residue on for the season. I think it helps.

Samoset is a tough spot for mooring. I am located on Terrace Hill Road. I have a cement block almost the size of a small refrigerator and it will move a few inches each year. I have a 2" chain to moor a 22' boat. Hitch the chain directly to the boat with with the mooring ball attached to the chain. The chain is about 7 times longer than the depth of the water. Make sure your bilge pump is automatic and is working when you shut off the battery switch. A little water weight can make a huge difference.
