Old plug Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 up here in the gravois we got mostly ice. i took a rock the size of a base ball and gave it a high throw out onto the ice this afternoon and it didn't hardly dent it. now we got some strong wind and warmer weather coming. that is a prescription for ripping dock right off there moorings and a lot of other damage as well. make me real nervous.
fishinwrench Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Oh well, that's what ya pay insurance for, right? Our boy, Johnny B. needs something to do anyway, he's prolly just sitting around getting fat.
Old plug Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 You cannot get a insurance company that insures a dock against ice damage Wrench.
Feathers and Fins Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 You cannot get a insurance company that insures a dock against ice damage Wrench. Falls under ( Storm Damage ) on outbuilding policy on your insurance, see them paid for all the time. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

Old plug Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 i am going to double check that. storm damage and Ice is different.
West Fork Jason Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 " that is a prescription for ripping dock right off there moorings and a lot of other damage as well. make me real nervous." That's why we take out our docks up here... http://www.WestForkJason.com
Old plug Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 my dock contains 2 28 ft stalls. and has a outside it 32x30. not taking that out. be sides it would have to fit over the top of a 7 ft sea wall. Italked toa representative from the power company a few years back about raising the dock out of the water on 6 " steel pipes and it would become a solid fixture. he told me they might accept that now. I think he was blowing hot air but it is a solution to. a lot of everyones problemsdown here.
Goggle-Eyed Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The other problem is that if you have it moored very well the ice will start ripping the floats out and shearing the float bolts.... I have actually seen this more often that anything. I do think I had some dock customers up in Iowa that were able to get insurance for the Ice/Wind damage.
