Sorry about the mistake. I meant rudder. The explanation that it is intended to prevent lines from tangling in the rudder slot makes some sense. However, would seem to pale in relation to the danger that a line in that area would have a high likelyhood of tangling in the prop. Interesting that no other make of boat that I have encountered uses this feature. John McLaughlin
