RC, just throwing ideas out there, and not knowing how deep the water is where you'll place your feeder, but would it be possible to drive (pound, screw, etc.) the drain pipe into the pond bottom, then building a platform on top to hold your feeder? The majority of the weight would seem to be centered over the pipe for stability.

It would eliminate anchor ropes and or "legs" like you're currently dealing with (I'm thinking of when your mom caught that nice HSB and trying to keep it from wrapping around the legs).

It would also eliminate wave action on your floating platform, the impact of water level fluctuations (starts drifting in low water conditions), and again, no snags on fishing line!

I'm imagining a pedestal of sorts. Maybe needing a larger pipe for stability?
