Tuzz,

Jimmy no doubt removed the dock to prevent damage from Ice. Ice can do alot of damage to anything in the pond that is in or above the freeze area. (Huge amount of crushing/twisting force)

One thing about wind powered aerators is you seldom get the aeration when you really want it and you lose alot of the ability to control your aeration efforts. (However they do serve a purpose certainly in areas without power)
