I came across a chart guide description referring to moorings and an
"outboard string."

What's an outboard string and how does one use it?

I'm picturing a line in the water for several smaller boats to tie off to,
and if that's correct, what keeps them from banging in to each other all
night long?


I came across another term for the same thing: string line.
