I think "big-enough" stones would work, but you'd have to readjust them each summer.
Was it suspended with a single wire? Are
any of the cement pads in your neighborhood still level?
It seems that with the strong winds affecting the dock while it's elevated for the off-season -- and the ice affecting the shoreline pad -- this may be something to "look forward to" each off-season.
A bubbler will cost a lot up-front, and electricity costs are not to be ignored. (We're talking hundreds of dollars each season, and we're not talking driftwood jamming-up the works or theft in this equation).
How about making the concrete base
adjustable to the shore-end of the dock (series of vertical holes/bolts) to adjust for
each winter's insult?
