how to stop boaters from dropping anchor in front of my property?

put up tons of buoys that block them from getting too close to your pier. Put up a portable screen to block their view...they should get the hint and go away. Then take the screen down until they go away. Try not to wear skimpy bathing suits...??

Carefully chose what you want to use to keep the lights up.  Using cup hooks works well.  Screws also stay in for a long time.  Once you place all your hooks/nails/screws about every 3 feet, they should last for years.  This will make light hanging go quicker for the next several years.\n\nAlso, try not to let the lights drop onto the driveway or sidewalk.  Be sure the lights are all working BEFORE you put them up.  Nothing is worse than getting them all up, plugging them in, and finding out they don't work!\n\nBut, worse then finding out they don't work, is putting them up and then discovering that you put the wrong end by the outlet!

Plant bushes or shrubs in front of it.\nOR\nPut up an attractive fence to hide it.

jeez - that sounds a demanding course.\nmake a paper boat in the style of an old galleon and stick a coin in the bottom. It will stop it falling over and demonstrate how the galleon can transport gold without sinking.\nThat should give you an E instead of F.

Believe it or not, Jacks got a good idea, but if that isn't practical for you try this: get some hose and cut it into 3 and 4 foot lengths. Put them out in the field when not in play. They might believe the hose pieces to be snakes and not land there at all. This trick has acutally worked in some places. \n\nThere is an airport where a dog was employed to keep geese away from the end of the runway. It worked.

Actually with a 500 lb. boat and a muddy seabottom a small mushroom anchor will hold you nicely under reasonable conditions.  The problem is when you need your anchor the most it will not be in reasonable condtions.  In my opinion the least discussed function of an anchor is as a safety device.  In the boat you discribe you will not be relying on the anchor to hold you fast while you sleep through the night.  But it may save your life some day by keeping you from going over a low head dam or ending up in the surf on a rocky shore. So you are correct to be concerned about what type on anchor to use on even a small boat.\n\nMy thoughts are these.  When the going gets tough you don't want to be relying a a mushroom or similar inferior type anchor.  But, also, on a boat this size space is at a premium.  A claw anchor or a plow will take up alot of room.  What you really what is a danforth type anchor.  They fold flat and perform very well for there weight.  You certainly dont need a 20-30 LB danforth as the guy above said.  That anchor would be capable of holding a 40' boat.  A 4 or 5 lb. danforth anchor should be adequate for you boat.  The next thing you need is a 4' to 6' lenght of chain to attach to the anchor.  What the chain does is cause the "pull" on the anchor to be more horizontal making the flukes dig in and hold.  You will want to attach a 100-150' length of three strand nylon rode to that chain and you are set.  The more rode you let out the better it will hold.  West Marine (westmarine.com)has some helpful advice and a wide selection of anchors with ratings.  Even if you dont want to buy from them they have good information.\n\nFair winds and following seas buddy.

because of the gravitational pull on the water, it comes down, not straight

Those bastards.  It doesn't surprise me how they work.\nI guess you have 2 basic choices:\n1. Pay a steep fine and towing, storage & administrative costs to get your boat back and try to forget the incident, or\n2.  Pay big bucks and hire a lawyer and hope he can fight for you and maybe win only on principal.\n\nIn any event you have already lost and will continue to loose.\n(only your lawery will win $)\n\nI recommend # 1 above.

another serious answer, from both a qualified boat designer, and a RV technician.\n\nDONT!\nPop-up roof is not supported and would collapse under the weight of a boat.\npuling behind would put a huge amount of strain on a hitch, designed to hold half of the weight.\npop ups are short, easily influenced by wind, road and so forth. adding a trailer to that would produce extreme swaying and pitching of the camper. resulting is, at best, a very slow, uncomfy ride at worse, jack knifing of both trailers, resulting in serious accident or even death.\n\ndont do it. use 2 cars or buy an inflatable boat that you can fit in the trunk or whatever.

Sorry, as long as you live on a public road you have no right of way to the road in front of your house. Your neighbor can park wherever they want. A way you could cure them of this is to park in front of their mailbox, which is unethical, but not illegal. Most postal carriers hate this enough that they just won't deliver mail to the blocked box after a couple of days. Then when your neighbor complains to you about it, calmly explai to them that if their vehicle wasn't in front of your home, you wouldn't have to park in front of theirs. (If that doesn't work you could always throw a fresh fish in the back of his van.)

Use outdoor antennas.

I think a small sea anchor would help keep the boat oriented to the waves and give it a better chance to ride them.
