Sorry to hear about your ice damage. You replaced your little inexpensive pump with a pricey circulator?
Over the last 18+ years, my installer has replaced a half-dozen of his circulators
at
no cost to us,
so I wouldn't dismiss installers as an option. This installer says the reason for propeller failure is due to underwater sticks being drawn into the propeller as the sticks drift by:
some are shoreline cuttings.
If you replace your "permanent" dock with a
temporary dock, be sure to
guard it against winter's winds as in this suggestion. The aluminum dock in this photo had the usual cable lifting it up for winter—and two substantial lines east and west—but
the base shifted instead, in this photo taken yesterday. Something
else broke off under water: note the peculiar angle of the dock to the water.
