I have seen something "similar"... on boats where the T-Hull is hard to access, I have seen people make a bar like that to open/close the Thull so you do not have to climb into the hatch.
Probably a really weak guess, though. It does not have any soldered connections does it?? No?? Oh, sorry... just thought it might be from a PO I knew....
HEHE!

Heh.. No soldered connections.... (none crimped either though...)
Your idea is exactly what I'm going to use this thing for if we can't figure out it's intended purpose... The SeaCocks aft are a bit of a pain to reach....and since I'll only be living on the boat on the weekends, I'd like to close all the THulls during the week while I'm on the road...
But there's no reason to have the radiator hose clamped to it for that purpose... and why mount it nicely in the Locker across from the head?
I've *GOT* to be missing something here....

Is there room to lay stuff over it when mounted? Perhaps the hose is to keep stuff from sliding off.

Don't throw it away. Put it back in its bracket and wait. At some point in the next year or so, you'll say to yourself...."Now what I need for this is a bar of aluminum with a piece of hose around it so I don't mark the X when we do Y with it".
