Ideally, the mooring line is 2 to 3 times the depth of the water at highest high water. This ratio of water depth to mooring line is called scope. A high scope allows for the least hydraulic force to be applied to the anchor block as the buoy is far away from the anchor. However, sometimes this is not practical as the length of the mooring line allows the buoy to move too far away from its anchor position. This movement is referred to as the watch circle. If the watch circle causes the buoy to move too far out of position or for it to hit shore or another floating object, it will need to be reduced. The lower the scope, the more wear on your mooring line and the larger your anchor block should be. Your mooring line must be able to be supported by the buoy selected
