New boat owner question...
I'm here in Portland Maine, got in a few days ago. The marina (slip) where I'm staying until October or so is very nice, quiet and has a beautiful view of the Portland skyline.
When we came in for the first time a few days ago at low tide we went aground as we were pulling into the slip. Since then I have noticed at max low tide I only have about 2 ft at the bow and 3.5 ft at the stern so that means at every low tide she will be sitting on bottom. I have not noticed it leaning at all and the bottom is soft mud. I know not to fire the engines at low tide. I draw 4ft 2 inch.
