Tow Ball Cover

I was told by my mate ... who apparently saw one of these that they exist:

It's a tow ball cover that looks like an outboard (with little prop). Sounds mad, but could make a gift or something for a boat mad sort of person.

Anybody seen these or know where to get one from?

I spotted.......

..........these whilst visiting W.M a few months ago. It was pretty neat, well made and ideal for the job. HOWEVER, easy to nick which put me off buying one as I didn't think it would last too long in my neck of the woods.

just make sure you order a receiver lock at the same time(start about $16.00) and you should be OK.
Have seen a few around with the props spinning in the wind;and do look pretty funny.
