I've got something similar, it is used to hold a sail tarp up over the cockpit from the stern of the boat. Don't know your sitation, but thought I would make a guess.

I wouldn't have guess a tarp holder upper for all the tea in china.
I was going to go with the chrome plated tittlater valve actuator.

Hmm, it's probably from a DIY rig that no longer exists on the boat - maybe a deck clothesline for wetsuits

A emergency tiller!? Wow!
And I thought it was used to keep your boat from rubbing against the dock. Tie one end to the amidship stanchion and put the other end in the predrilled hole on the dock and wah-la!! You vessel is being held off the dock.

Was the PO a ninja? Might be a weapon. I know a lot of ninjas are selling their boats these days. Recession and all.

If you leave it on the dock, someone will no doubt walk off with it. Then you can wait and see how long it takes them to post another "what is it" thread.

Not sure how I managed to miss this thread until now! I think it is quite obviously a rare Italian Domaflatchi. Generally used to prop open the afore-mentioned hatch while you climb inside to open/close the thru hull.
