Moser Channel Bridge Clearance Marathon

[Fiftybucks]

Can I get under the Moser Channel Bridge (fixed) near Marathon

data on Active Captain is confusing. Says one time 65ft and another that the verticle clearance is in error. Marine charts said NO. is 19 ft. I just want to shortcut around from Marco Island to Hawk Channel not go to Key West.

Looks like Channel 5 Bridge looks it might be a better choice near Fiesta Key..
Any one that has gone thru?

65" for both bridges. channel 5 long key is better coming from marco if you have less that 6 " draft.

Marine charts said NO. is 19 ft.

You are looking at the wrong part of the bridge detail. That clearance is just west of Knights Key. The clearance at the center of the Seven Mile Bridge, Moser Channel, is 65'.

Took a boat through there that needed 63-64’. No issues, just watched the darn dangling clearance lights. Came through one time and someone whacked them—— DOH!

I have been through there with a 64' mast clearance boat plus a 18" whip antenna. I went at low tide and didn't have any trouble. Others have told me that it is 65' at high tide.

Go through Snake Creek - it's got a Bascule that opens with a data cable Bayside at 70' air clearance. I've done it 50X with various boats, last year 2018, with a 40 Lagoon with 66 airdraft even at King tide level. Snake creek is just N of Islamorada.
