Pick by rope, not by boat length. You want room for a full round turn plus a locking turn on the humps without the rope stacking over itself. 200mm suits a mid-sized trailer boat or a runabout on a swing mooring where lines get eased under load.
Yes, and that is often where it earns its keep, because a stainless bollard on a private jetty takes the same weather as one on deck. Check what is under the decking boards first, because a bollard bolted to a single timber will pull that timber up.
You will not stop it entirely, but you can slow it. Keep the rope clean, because it is the grit in the fibres that files the metal, not the rope itself. Rinse the bollard and the mooring lines with fresh water, and rotate which line sits where when you can.
