My Shimano spinning reel schematic shows a rubber friction ring. Mine was missing so I bought one and there is no way it will fit on my reel so I left it off. What is the purpose of this ring? Why would the spool need friction? Thanks.

I would like some recommendations on a new pair of swivel seats. I will be putting them on a base that clamps onto the benches. I need something that is fairly strong with good back support.

I just got an e-mail from a rep. at attwood about towing using their transom saver without power trim. He doesn't recomend it. Does it put too much force on the lower unit? I sure like the way the motor does'nt bounce but I don't want to hurt my new 9.8 Tohatsu (81lbs).
