Tim - Jake:
Boy I wish you two would stop being so helpful to me! My boat is 2 hours drive away and the only way I can go check all the neat ideas you have come up with is to burn the gas! Ah such is life - thanks guys, when I get back there this coming week I'll look at what I have on mine, and maybe take a picture of the mast to send you so maybe you can tell me what all the stuff on the bottom of it should be used for, as opposed to what I have guessed and tried to do.
