My neighbor has a dock that hinges at the shore. Whoever installed it set the concrete block such that the dock is substantially not perpendicular to the shore. This cause problems since our shoreline is fairly congested.

The hinge bracket for his dock faces flat against the block vertically, face to face along the shore. I have thought about asking my neighbor to to shim his hinge bracket on one end where it faces the cement block such that the dock is moved to perpendicular. He likely would need to add a filler wood insert at the deck level to fill the angular gap where the dock transitions to the block.

Not sure if I am explaining this clearly. The bottom line is consider adjusting the hinge bracket rather than moving the block.
