Default Weigh down the dock !

If your dock looks like it may float, a helpful temporary fix is to add extra weight. I have found the simple way to weigh the dock is to place large plastic trash barrels along the dock surface and fill them with water from the lake using a 5 gallon pail. No rocks or cement blocks to move on or off the dock top. And once the water level recedes, just empty them back into the lake. Will save a love of back breaking work and the added weight to prevent floating is substantial.
