I will probably have to check with the water authority before doing anything, but thought I would seek a little advice here first.

Our dock was out of the water during the drought last year and part of the year before. I would like to clear out some of the (land based) vegetation around the dock so we can have a little room for the boats. If we have a good freeze this winter, a lot of this stuff you see in the photos should die off.

Any suggestions for what we should do for now to get a little more room. As you can see, I plowed a trail with the good ole stainless prop up to the dock.

Note: There is 4' of water under the dock.
