Chimi, in some cases yes the fox would be guarding the hen house. However, if a marina operator gave a crap about their boats/equipment, it would be in their best interest to ensure that the renter knew what they were doing.

I suspect that the boats/equipment are covered by insurance or would be the ultimate responsibility of the renter (I've never rented a boat so I don't know what the boilerplate looks like on the rental form). Regardless, I doubt very much that the marina is going to turn away a substantial rental fee no matter what.
