I agree with Simple Peddler too, it more etiquette than ethics and it varies based on the situation. If we can come up with a list, I'll bet Mrs. Elaine would let me post them in the store. Here is a start:
1. Minimize the time that you spend blocking the launch. Get your preliminaries done (plug in and transom saver off etc.) before you block the launch.
2. Move your boat out of the launch area into the mooring area before you go to park your truck and trailer.
3. Don't be creative in your parking spot. Park in the normal designated spots.
4. Be conscious of your wake when leaving and when approaching the dock.
LDWF states that vessels approaching a landing dock or pier shall yield the right of way to any departing vessel.
