What is a jackshaft?
Ignorant as I am: What is a jackshaft in performance boating, and why should I have one?
I know jack about the shafts. Is it simply a shaft that connects the engine with the drive?

Yes
Very similar to the drive shaft on a car-may be supported in the middle by a bearing if it's long.
