Two directions of course to keep it evenly spread as possible...

When I had to do it at the plantation I worked on, we dumped front end loader buckets full around the edges, used the boat to put a fair amount in the middle, and then got paid to run a jon boat back and forth to stir it up. We ended up beaching the front of the boat in various places and using the motor to "stir" the water so to speak. Worked pretty well I'd guess, but definitely not the most scientific approach.
I too, have used a large motor to stir up a pond...

If you have a deep pocket in the middle, I would drain it down and spread the piss out of it.

A friend of mine works for Estate Management Services, and I believe they do this. Might be worth the time/trouble to give them a call and get a price.

pond is 11 acres and maybe 10ft at deepest point.
let's not overthink it or we might lose the opportunity to make a day out of it...
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
1. dump at several locations in the edge of the pond
2. place large trash pump on boat with outboard motor.
3. mix with outboard motor while pumping with trashpump - discharge line should be aimed toward center of pond. you can add or subtract sections of discharge line to get better coverage
4. move along from pile to pile until it's all gone.

whirlpool created by a continous circling of boat with outboard motor will bring lime from the edge toward the center
it would be tough to do on 11 acres though, but with enough boats.....
