I just bolted the bow turning block through an aluminum arrow shaft, don't need any kind of absorber at all.

Hi Woody
Why don't you go to the EC-12 building site and look at the suggestions of swingarm and drum set ups. It might help you out. Skip

HI SKIP
I THINK YOU MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION
AS EXCELLENT AS THE BUILDING SITE IS.IT DOES NOT YET HAVE ANY PICS/INFO OF ABOVE SET UP (PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE RICK ? )

Sorry about that Woody. Maybe you could get Chris to send you his photos of the inside of his boat. Maybe it might help. Skip
