I still have to replace a bent dock post (2" galvanized square pipe) from last season, same scenario. Caught the dock post with the bow pulpit, creased it over like a soda straw. Happily barely a mark on the pulpit though, and thanks to a strong marina neighbor I didn't take out the salon windows of the boat next door. Just as you say, I should have been more assertive.
