Unless its on the trailer, then you are parking it. Now, if you leave the trailer attached to it when you launch, its called stupid.

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

I was hoping we could learn stuff we don't know about on this post. I really don't care if you call your line a rope or if you call your bumpers fenders, or if you dock or park your boat., etc........
Somebody please explain to me what crashboxes are?

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...
