This has been on the boat since I got it. It was left by the companionway by the previous owner, so I'm assuming he used it for something frequently, otherwise he would have put it away. The white part separates from the blue part. Any ideas?

Its a horn!
The 'blow hole' is on the side of the horn.
If you didnt 'disturb' the plastic FILM under the plastic 'screen' when you disassembled, it should produce the loudest horn sound youve ever heard for the least amount of 'blowing'.

If you rub it, a Genie comes out. Don't wish for a bigger boat. Too much work.

Go ahead, blow on it. Or rub it, I can't decide. Maybe blow and rub simultaneously..
One or the other is gonna produce results.

I bet if you cut an orange, put it inside and blow in the hole it will make juice.

It is the warhead of an anti-jet ski & anti-tube towing PB sonic blaster.

Tubers have become worse than jet skis. I scored one for a citation this year. I'd paint them on the side of the boat like a fighter pilot:dance: - but that would probably be considered bad behavior:redface:. It was a tough job to sail along at 1kt in very light winds to bait the thing . OTH: when they cut within 2-3 boat lengths :ass: of your bow and don't notice the other boat nearby named "Ranger" :D, they kind of deserve that loooong discussion :clap:.

If I remember correctly, the USCG recommends 5 blasts :thumbup:.

Rather obvious when you take a second look :snooty:.

Really? A horn? I'll give it a try, but I'm going to take some mouthwash, just in case I'm about to fall prey to an Internet based practical joke.

What does separating the white piece from the blue do? Change the pitch?

And Ducati, my wife got a great laugh from your comment.

Funny. Wikipedia doesn't say anything about its ability to make orange juice. Someone should let them know.
