I use the blue foam you often see under rafts. It needs to be about about a foot wider than the dock section on each side. Put it out in front of each section in the water and then feed the new section in right off the first. Catch the end of the section on the foam and float it out till you drop the back end into the bracket and pin it. Then walk out to the end and pound your poles in with foam supporting you.
