Thanks DRH,

I poked around in the area of the bubbler and did not find any debris near it. Both fins were gone and the bubbler was working properly, but without fins.......

The other thing that we noticed was that with the low lake level, the ice is directly over the bubbler, I am wondering if that when the power did come back on, was there ice that was broken up and became lodged in the blades causing the issue.

We were able to get it running and hope by the next time we go up it chews up some of the ice that formed. I wanted to point this out to others that if they are counting on their bubblers this year, they may want to have it checked.

I was amazed at the amount of ice that was on our dock and posts. Looks like it was from repeated spraying over the breakwater. On the dock posts, they are covered with 6+ inches of ice on the NW facing side.
