In addition to the actual weight of the mooring (more is bertter), you also want to remember to provide plenty of scope for your line between the mooring and the boat. I used a substantial length of heavy chain with swivels at either end, and then a heavy nylon line to the boat. The chain will act as a shock absorber mitigating the effect of heavy winds. I agree that having a professional install the mooring may be a very wise idea.
