I know it is almost impossible to stop some fool from roaring by your dock short of shooting him - tempting as it is - but I have used what I call a weighted mooring to keep ones cleats from being snatched out. Tie your mooring on the opposite side of the dock from your boat and run the line under the dock. Then put a small weight-5 to 10 lbs.- in the middle of the mooring lines. Do this on both sides and it will hold your boat off the dock.
A friend of mine was having the problem with his floating dock up at Smith Lake snatching his anchor out of the clift. He hung a concret block in the middle of the mooring cable. As the dock would approach the end the tension increased stopping the dock. When the wind stopped plowing the dock would slowly center itself.
Remember the old physics problem about a weigh in the middle of a line and how tension incerases as the line flattens.
