[quote=MN3][quote]i believe otherwise. with just 10 degrees of pitch forward that groove is already pointing down. makeing it want to pitch pole even more if in the water. [/quote]
i looked again, and i still feel that was it's intended purpose. i could be wrong, but i dont think so.
that looks very similar to the hobie pitch pole guards available at murrays

if it was a splash guard, it would/should be higher as to not interfere with the waterline[/quote]
