Inspections?
I'm not sure how inspections work. If a DES inspector walks around the docks at my marina, or cruises by in his boat and I don't have a sticker, can s/he board? Does the marina operator have to allow access or do they have to make an appointment with me? (The marina has the keys) I'm there on weekends. Likely they (DES) work M-F.
In my case, the marina says they can't (won't) launch a boat that isn't compliant, so there is a built-in enforcement, at least for non-trailer boats.
Whatever the system is, it sees to be working, so I applaud DES and the marinas for working together on this.
