Possession of a certificate of title does not in and of itself provide a right to obtain possession of a vessel. Garnishment, attachment, levy, replevin or other judicial process against the certificate of title shall not be effective to determine possessory rights to the vessel. Sections 15-201 to 15-232, inclusive, do not prohibit enforcement under the law of this state other than said sections of a security interest in, levy on, or foreclosure of a statutory or common law lien on a vessel. Absence of an indication of a statutory or common law lien on a certificate of title shall not invalidate the lien.
