As I understand it, these black plastic, large rectangular, full-of-air, floats get tucked away under the dock section and are not too visible.

My dock is a 30', all-aluminum, oldey dock & 10x10'boat lift and using either two or three of Lowe's sixty-four dollar, 1/6hp-2amp utility pumps, made in Taiwan, has done a good job so far. (None of the local Wal-Marts stock any pumps.....ahem.) Much to my surprise, no burnt out pumps, yet! They just run and run and run! In the past few days, I've been able to go from three to two pumps and the size of the open water has got a lot larger! It seems like the cold has left and things are starting to warm up, a little.
