Crank scraper for Volvo B230F, Penta 2.5, B20, B21,etc ????? 140-160

So i've come across this on the ol ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Crank-scraper-for-Volvo-B230F-Penta-2-5-B20-B21-etc_W0QQitemZ8007719643QQcategoryZ46098QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

For those who don't want to follow the link:

During normal engine operation a significant amount of oil adheres to or becomes entrained in a cloud surrounding the spinning bottom end. This oil eats up horsepower your engine is making by increasing the rotating mass and also creating parasitic drag. A crank scraper mechanically strips off excess oil by coming close to, but not touching, the moving crankshaft and rods. It also interferes with the pressure differential that draws oil into the so-called windage cloud.

Any thoughts?

Sounds kind of neet I guess.. but lots of things are neet, not sure if this is $50 dollars neet either.

Cheers,

Andrew
