Mine (on the new boat) came broken and I'm debating making a new one. Mines not flat like Lee's, it's a semi circle type of thing made of plastic. The flat type that Lee has looks a better. Lee, if and when you get a chance, can you take and post a close up of that part? Thanks - rob

Mine is exactly the same except in white. It connects/disconnects easily and of course guarantees that you won't chop up your rudder with the prop.
Allows for great control in docking situations.
