Pete,
Yes, it is a linked system. I am missing the details of the tail float assembly. Luckily not the case for the mains. What I do have for the tail float, is a scale lines drawing and a reference to 320 lbs buoyancy. With that and photos I hope to do the job.
That little spike has been of interest to me, I have to postulate that it's a skid as Joe suggests, like to protect against bottom strikes.
