Our ropes do get chewed up, we try to watch closely and replace if there is any question. Never expected the cleat to let go though!
uschick,

If you own your own place on the water, I would suggest getting mooring whips.
They will take the stress off the dock, keep your boat safe, and give you a wonderful piece of mind......
