Buoy Inspections
During a buoy inspection, we visually inspect the integrity of all components on the buoy, from the surface to the bottom. Are all shackles wired? Is there noticeable wear on any of the hardware? How much wear is on the chain? Is the buoy float water saturated?
It is important to have your buoy inspected every year before mooring your boat. Chain does not last forever. Could be a disaster waiting to happen.

Why Get an Annual Mooring INspection?
Before you launch your boat and deliver it to your buoy make sure to call B.J.’S Barge Service and have your buoy inspected so you can enjoy the boating season at Lake Tahoe. No other lake can compare to Lake Tahoe for beauty and clear water. You may think all is good when you hook up to your buoy, but when you look down at you’re mooring chain you are only seeing what is near the surface. Most of the wear happens at the bottom where the chain has been moving across the sand and rocks all year every day all day long.
Chain is cheaper than a boat, so don’t gamble make sure you are on our inspection list and call 530-525-5129 or email bjbarge@att.net to confirm that your mooring buoy inspection or buoy work has been completed. We will be happy to be of service to you. Keep your boat and surrounding boats safe.
Prepare accordingly and have your mooring buoy inspected, remove and replace worn chain if needed, replace waterlogged or cracked floats with new floats, add anchor weight (buoy block) if needed and always have a good mooring line that is activated securely.
Time to call B.J.’S Barge Service for all your mooring buoy needs. We have the most experience and knowledge on Lake Tahoe to give you an expert opinion.
B.J.’S Barge Service recommends inspecting your buoy annually and have a quality made mooring line.
