In the event the hearing officer determines there is cause to impound, the Harbormaster may proceed immediately with impoundment. The Harbormaster may impound a boat by chaining it to a work float or other suitable object or otherwise immobilizing it, removing it or having it removed from the water and placing it in public or commercial storage, with all expenses of haul out and storage and an impound fee to be borne by the boat owner. Property may be impounded in a similar manner as may be appropriate for the type of property involved. At any time prior to the sale of an impounded boat or properly, the owner, operator, master or managing agent, creditor, secured party may redeem the boat or property by a cash payment of all fees against the boat or property including interest and costs.
