"rocking the boat" means stirring up trouble. To rock the boat means to disrupt things, promote disharmony, make waves, pick a fight, causing trouble, disagreement...

On a boat, if you rock it or cause waves it can go over and I think that is where the saying comes from.
I'm not a trouble-maker. He told me about rocking the boat when I apologized to him. But he was the one who yelled at me for something that wasn't his business.

One man told me, "You can rock the boat all you want." when we got into an argument.

It's not the right time to "rock the boat". We still have to wait proper time.

Don't rock the boat yet. I will make it up to you.

Disobeying and doing something you belive is right even though it isn't legal. Comes from the Clash song of the same name, which was about playing rock music even though it was banned by the Ayatollah

Also, this was the first rock song played in Iran in ten years after the Shah was removed from his trone. It was played by on the American Army radio and became an anthem for the army during the first Gulf War.
