Interesting, When my scythe shows up, I'll probably roksett the DT adapter in it since I'll never use it any other way. As for the anchor brake, I got the hansohn brothers flat end cap adapter so I'll just use that, who knows if it will loosen up or not.
You should know that caones suck. I have one I got at a garage sale, I think its made by a companycalled "old School". Of all the things I go and do with my wife, getting the canoe out is my least favorite. My heart sinks when she starts saying she wants to go canoeing, Id rather go berry...
