From your photo above, I understand the problem, as we have it too.
This is a similar situation to ours:
When winter ice is held away from shorelines by progressively-decreasing areas of solid ice, "Ice-Out" winds will drive
tons of ice against "permanent" docks. It's no different than having the
HMS Queen Mary adrift—and headed for our dock!
Algae growth begins before Ice-Out, and we experienced Canada Geese appearing at our dock—for the first time in over a half-century.
Along my shore, there are so many new homes with circulators—and so little solid ice—I may just save a bundle, and cancel my aquatherm guy!
