Ice and water drop in the winter

Water drop in the winter

What happens to a Viking Boat Lift when the water drops 12 feet in the winter?

We are back at the Viking Boat Lift south of Ottawa that we installed this december 2013.

In the winter time the water drops 15-20 feet in this lake. When we installed the boat lift the water had not dropped but was frozen. The picture shows the lake covered with ice after it dropped 12 feet of water.

After the water drop

The Viking Boat Lift is still in the place where we installed it.

The boat lift is installed with a dock, which also shows on the picture. The boat lift supports the dock though and not the other way around.
