How does ice affect the system?
The issue when it comes to ice and its affect on the system is water flow. If there is a heavy current or moving ice, the key question to ask yourself is, "When the ice thaws out, does it just dissipate back into the water level or are there large blocks of heavy flow ice moving around that would severely damage stationary docks?" If you answer "Yes" to the first part of the question, you can leave our dock in all year. If you answer "Yes" to the second part of the question, then your next move is as obvious as the ice will tear out and wash away any structure.

Will the system work in shallow water?
Yes, you can use the dock anywhere you can drive your crafts. The cubes only draw about 2 to 4 inches of water with the craft off it. The minimum functional water depth is measured at the back of the dock where the drive-on takes place. The dock needs to be able to flex in order to drive on top of it. System is fine at rest on the bottom during low tides. The important thing is that there is enough depth at the stem of the dock to allow the boat to back off.
