It is docking NOT parking. Lines are not ropes, although it is ok to call a ski line a ski rope.

Ok, how about freeboard?

Don't be looking this stuff up in the boating dictionary. I'm not headed in that direction with this thread. It's about what you think something is, not what the dictionary say it is... :D

What you guys mean when you say "Spun a prop"?
And slippage? does the prop actually loose grip (for lack of a better word)?
