Literally, "dead body", the usual name for any weight that keeps the mooring buoy fixed to the bottom.
Depending on the boat size, these should be a lot heavier than the boat buoyancy can lift, and arranged in a way that does not allow it to slide along the bottom.
The buoy attached to such weight should have a proper length of chain, usually a minimum of five times the depth, and any among several ways to neutralize the jerking of the boat tied to it. One of the most popular systems is an add-on weight at about 1.5 times the depth from the buoy.
However, "weekend captains" and summer dwellers usually just make such optimistically simple concrete blocks with overly short rope lines to the canisters turned into buoys.
