That was for a shallow water anchor. Put a piece of ¾"x 12' pvc in it. It worked ok. Had a 3/4" wood dowel in it to stiffen it up. Still flexed pretty good.
I've since taken it off, dropped it in the process, concrete won. Still have a old transom mount trolling motor mount on the back that it slides into.
I liked it being "anchored" from the front.
How do you close a thread here? This has gotten so far off topic it is ridiculous. I started the thread but see no way to close it.
