How much room do you have on the other side of the boat? Could you just move her over some till the ice thaws out and you can adjust the bubbler?

I'm interested in how close to your boat the deicer is??I have a Kasco deicer hanging off my bow, when running it creates a flow from bow to stern (45ft) preventing any ice by bringing the subsurface warmer water up and around the hull.
I wonder if it would work as well for you in fresh water?
As suggested...don't break it up, at least now its nice and smooth.
You wouldn't want any sharp pointy ice gnawing on your hull.
Sounds like yours is more of a ducted fan kind of setup for lack of a better descritption... Propeller in a housing. Those are designed to move the warmer water up to the surface, keeping the cool layer at the surface from freezing.
The one he has is a set of pipes/tubes with holes that release compressed air. The pipes/tubes hang under the pier or from the boat, so that as the air up, it keeps surface water agitated, keeping it from freezing.
