What is this Tool--a Threaded Stud with a Handle?

Found his in the nav table on my 30+. What is it for?

Hi,

looks like part of the forestay. The t part goes around the u fitting that is attached to the deck hardware. the threaded part gets threaded to the turnbuckle. just a guess.

The weld on the handle seems a little flimsy for that job. Also the threads seem too big. I'm thinking it's more of a tool. Threads into something and then you pull on it?

What are rough dimensions?

Maybe too pull injectors or something else from engine?

About 4 inches long. Your theory sounds right. I don't have an engine, so I guess I'll have to find some other use for it.

It looks exactly like the "screw" that clamps down the salon table on our boat, except ours isn't bronze.

I don't have a picture, but it tightens the collar around the round aluminum pedestal stock under the table.

+1 on Cory. mine have a clamp on top and on bottom to hold the post in place.

I believe if it was for the turnbuckle it would be fine thread and it appears to be course thread.
