A. Whenever any watercraft or obstruction is found in violation of any of the provisions of this title and the owner, master or other person in charge of the watercraft or obstruction is not in the immediate vicinity, any person authorized to enforce the provisions of this title may, upon finding such watercraft, take the identification number and any other information which may identify its owner, master or other person in charge of it and shall conspicuously affix a citation to the offending watercraft.

B. Citation of a watercraft or obstruction in the manner provided in this section shall be deemed constructive service upon the owner or master thereof, as appropriate, and thereby adequate for all purposes under this code. Such citations shall be prosecuted in the same manner as violations of the motor vehicle parking provisions of this code. [Ord. 9515, 1985; Ord. 8655 § 1(G), 1978].
