There are a few things to know about this.
1) Need to check with Marine Police and Alabama Power before doing this. It is very and I mean very rare that they will grant permission to a private party to install bouys.
2) I you do put bouys out and another boat or pwc hits them and damages their vessel, you are responsible because you put an obstruction in the water.
3) If boats are coming closer than 100 feet to your dock, notify the marine police.

What part of the lake are you on. I also work with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary on Smith Lake and we normally patroll the Ryan Creek side of the lake for the Marine Police.

Let us know if we can be of any help.

Thanks,

Mo
