2 instances in 3 years and 1 witnessed by friends, hardly endemic is it ?
Last year in the same marina friends found a chap urinating on to their boat when they asked "what the hell are you doing?" they were told "You should not be looking".
... As for peeing on someone's boat that is beyond the pail.

under the guidance of an ex-ww11 air/sea rescue skipper.
I feel sympathy for the OP - being offended by a perfectly natural act and/or sight of a body part must be a heavy burden to bear. As the owner of an enlarged prostate I have been forced to overcome my own reservations on peeing in public - the choice being to get it out or to wet my pants and the urgency of this decision is immediate and cannot easily be avoided. It used to embarrass me but a cycling event in France where such reservations were so obviously not in evidence cured me.
If you don't like it don't look. As for peeing on someone's boat that is beyond the pail.
If you're peeing beyond it, perhaps you need a bigger pail!Sorry.
Is the problem the todger being on view or the pollution of the sea?
If it's the former, don't sail in Croatia as we are often surrounded by boats at anchor where everyone is completely starkers and todgers (and everything else!) is swinging freely in the breeze! Sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't - I'm sure you get my drift!

Damn - Mike beat me by 1 minute!
Yes, but that is the norm & not unexpected.
The middle of Cowes is!
Indeed, RNLI were rumoured to have a category of incident report known as the DOWF syndrome.
This referred to picking up expired yachtsmen who were "dick out when found"
... Almost, from the tone of the replies. I guess I don't move in the same circles as you. I don't think I know anyone who'd be shocked by the sight ...... Am we unique in finding this sort of behaviour unacceptable? ....
No its not. There is no law against being naked in public.In this country it is against the law to expose your self.
I agree, but in the dark its OK - if the pee goes down the heads it ends up in the marina anyway.Over the side out in the back of beyond, or at least not in full view in say a small anchorage/creek... no problem (it ends up there anyway)... but over the side in a marina in broad daylight, with other boaters clearly in view!! Bad form.
scoop bailer when alone and its rough
to fall over the side would be so humiliating
