As for the
road map I use, it doesn't show depth, but I have a kick up centerboard that
stats to make a funny noise when it scraps the bottom. Is there a term for
that?

Yes. It's called running aground.

I suppose I'm supposed to yell out" "scrapings-a-hove" or some such
thing.

I believe the proper nautical terminology is "Crap! Pull the
centerboard up!"
