I have a manual bilge pump.. and I have the handle for it. In the cockpit.


If this is a lever of some sort, it's one helluva mechanical advantage..

I'm thinking that it spans something....

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....

You wouldn't be able talk me into a Tequila shot.. but you'd have a heck of a time getting me out of M & M's.... Lovely place.. Great food and a decent beer selection.

I ate at the Grain Silo's aka Twin Towers aka Tin Cans tonight...

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

I suspect the

hole in one end is just there for a lanyard so it could be retrieved if gone overboard. And has nothing to do with function...Maybe javelin practice..

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".

Good things come to those who wait.
