Docks and Maps?

We've recently seen an uptick in docks and marinas using the free tier of Rillium Maps, so I thought I'd mention it here.

It's nothing marina specific, but we certainly welcome the recent interest. One thing I didn't expect was how much history a dock can hold.

I asked, "So, what is the history of this dock?"

The response was, "That's a loaded question."

And it makes sense given wind, ice, anchors getting dragged out of positions, boats slamming into the dock, all the force finding its favorite joint to torment.

Curious how others here keep track of that history today. Is it photos, spreadsheets, inspection reports, or mostly institutional knowledge?

Trying to get more years out of these floating dock pilings. Other than running a few bolts through is there any better method or keeping these from getting worse

Curious

Any idea what these are used for? Found in a lake about 40 yards from a boat ramp. Assuming it's a bumper/cover of sorts but I've never seen them on any of the docks.
