Gotta love these marina layout questions. Makes me want to go sailing, even though I'm terrible at it.

I don't know, Option A sounds a bit strange to me. Installing cables to a distribution terminal on land for a marina seems like an odd choice.

Yeah, Option A does sound strange. Option B seems like the better option for this scenario.

Hmm, Option D seems a bit overkill for a small marina with fewer than 10 slips. Terminating each install at the dockmaster's office seems unnecessary.

I'm leaning towards Option C. Pre-cabling each slip during construction would ensure everything is properly set up from the start.

That's a good point. Maybe a combination of pre-cabling and terminal termination would be the best approach.

But wouldn't it be more secure to have the cables terminated at the dockmaster's office?

I'm not sure about this one, but I think C) Pre-cable each boat slip during construction could also be a valid option. What do you guys think?

Option B looks like the most practical choice here. Placing the distribution cable on the dock and installing a service drop to each slip seems like the most straightforward approach.
