Ok..
So we don't know what the heck it's design intent is, but we should be able to give it a good name..
(Anyone wanna bet how fast the admin's shut this one down?)
I'll start:
1) Padded Shaft
I hope no one figures it out... Now it can be the excuse for y'all to come over my boat have a few beers... to check out the "Padded Shaft"
I'll be up in Magothy area on the Chesapeake bay in a few months... Y'all come by now to see it. Have a beer...
