As a rule of thumb bow lines should never be long enough to reach the props. Spring and stern lines need to be watched carefully by your knowledgeable on board deck hand. When I'm the one one the dock I usually bring a extendable boat hook with me in case the captain is having a tough time docking. It comes in handy grabbing a railing on the boat to pull the boat into the slip.
