I found no rules in the 5e version for outmaneuvering a hostile ship. If another ship wants to close to boarding range there appears to be nothing you can do about it.
This includes "repelling" the boarders. You can only fight those boarders.
If another ship wants to ram you can only hope they fail the special "To Hit" roll.
No rules about partial damage effects to ships.
No ships in the 5e version that have less than 200 HP except for small boats.
