Here’s what I’m thinking. Use the weight on front chain to pull her forward and keep her in general position there, but allow slack if I reverse hard enough to pull up weight. Maybe that’s what heavy chain accomplishes too, although I could come up with a weight for less than big chain costs. Maybe 200 lbs of concrete with an eye bolt cast into it?
SeaWorld, why don't you just run a chain from the dolphin to that wreck if it is solid, or possible ON-shore if your buddy has the rights (easier to dump a 2 ton load of concrete on land than in the water). Chain a mooring ball at the midpoint, then just float to the mooring. Let your boat swing.

You need to research the jurisdiction of the submerged land. Where I live all submerged land and beach up to the vegetation line or "highest wash of the waves" line belongs to the state. There is no such a thing as a private beach. As such there is no legal way to get to a mooring even if you lease the submerged land for the state, which you can do. In this case you must access your mooring by tender from a legal location or facility like a nearby marine.
