I've never had a Moorings employee board the boat to put it on the fuel dock - you may need to request that when you radio the base on approach, if you need the assistance. They will provide docking instructions, and there will be dockhands there ready to help you. And yes, you may have to wait a bit while other boats fuel up, but as long as you're there and waiting by 10am, you should be fine.
Pretty sure they want to top off the tanks there at the base. I'd ask during your briefing to be sure.

Mooring, Sunsail, Footlose all have you call on #12 as you off the inner markers. They'll tell you which side to put the fenders on. Guy in a dingy will come alongside and jump on..some times with a buddy who will take your dingy away. He will then approach the fuel dock, then move to a slip. Always the same. Don't worry, let the pros do it. Watch and learn, it is a thing of beauty to see em do it.

I'm not entirely sure about the power cat dock at the very end, but the docks where our sailboats were generally kept had their own fuel pumps. Boats were refueled in their slip.
I also remember reading that power cats were exempt from the prepaid fuel arrangement - they are charged for actual usage.

I imagine a power cat would be the same. There was only one time I wasn't allowed to dock and it wasn't James that was handling things at the time and it was pretty busy. I can dock anything, but I definitely take more time then they do. I did find it interesting that the time we were on their 58' cat, they didn't offer to take it in for us
