Most documents would give them that right - one vote per lot. This is not like a political election where you only get one vote but like a corporate vote where you get one vote for every share of stock you own. The HOA is a corporation and its "shares" are the lots.

You would still need to read the bylaws more closely.
Multiple voting might be restricting the voting to one vote per lot as opposed to multiple people listed on the deed.
And you would still need to check the documents regarding tenants' use of facilities, though it would seem to me that the usage is granted to the "lot" and shouldn't restrict tenants, IF the lot owners are in "good standing" (in other words, not delinquent on their dues/assessments).

Multiple voting is something else in general HOA usage. If you have two positions open for a board position and three people running you can only vote one time for two different people to fill the position. Multiple voting also known as cumulative voting would allow you to cast both of your votes to one person.
As far as a tenant being able to use dock space that would fall under the documents of your Association and any rules the board might pass concerning the use of the common areas. Your posting is a little confusing as to just what you're asking but I'm going to attempt to read between the lines here. If this is not what you meant please clarify.
Generally speaking an H/O gives up their right to use an amenity when they rent their property to the tenant. Now if the H/O in question has multiple properties and he rents one out but lives in the other then yes both parties would have the right to use the boat dock.
