What is this? Why is it on my boat?

No, he had pics a page back, it mounts vertically.

It's an American Gladiator Q-Tip, you need to go to the gladiator store and get some replacement ends.



Was Turbo the PO?

Maybe it's intended for breaking ice around the boat. Could that be what the insulation is for? Or perhaps the center pole for an awning?

So far my favorite is the "gazinta" suggestion.

I was going to suggest that it's a dipstick for the fuel tank, but I see that's been mentioned. Also, now that I see where it's kept I doubt it would be stored in the hanging locker with clothing etc.

Something to do with a Windscoop?

My final guess is that it's a primitive seasickness remedy, but I'd rather not discuss the mechanics on this forum.

It might be the windscoop thing.. I haven't assembled that or tried it yet.

Wait... there's an external AC unit that sits over the companion way.. maybe it's some support for that?

Is there a socket for one end of that pole to stick into anywhere on the boat??

Sometime ago during the cold war, I understand the American let the Russian steal one of their very sophisticated device. The Russian put their best sciencists on the device and spendt many manyears trying to figure what it is. In the end they discover that they had be dubbed and were years behind US in technology game. Could this be one of that device ?

Come on guys I thought you would be able by now to tell him it is the handle for the internal jack witch is located in the bottom of the keel. It is used to lift the boat on the hard so that you can bottom paint under the pads on the stands and the bottom of the keel. This one is very nice. Mine is much shorter and I have to craw under the boat while I am jacking it up.

Of Course!

All '87 Sabres came standard with the "Hydraulic Keel mounted bottom maintenance lifting jack" Complete with oversized padded jack handle stored conveniently in the Starboard locker for quck access while underway.
