Hi,
I was running around madly taking photos at a boat show a while back and when I got home I noticed this photo and wasn't sure what the four levers (in the left of the shot) were for. Anyone tell me?
Thanks

Bilge pump levers had occoured to me but it just seemed like such an antiquated way to go considering the eaze and price of setting up an electric system that I largely discounted that theory. Hadn't thought of the chop sticks though.

What boat is that ? I have seen kind of the same that operates valves on fishing boats that open or close water to the live wells. The lever gets pushed in or pulled out to open or close a valve.

I'm not sure on th make or model, the photos were taken quiet some time back and none of the other shots are enough to id the boat (most of the photos I took were for technical reference for my own novice attempts at boat design).
That does sound quiet pausable though, there are only so many things push rods like that could be used for.
That's an awful lot of manual bilge pump handles for one boat. I think the owner might have been a xylophone enthusiast.

my bet is those levers are for the 4 seperate fuel tanks in that go fast. I've noticed a few builders not plumbing all fuel cells as one.
cling, cling----- my 2 cents

They're not levers, they're olive skewers for those really big martinis they serve on those fancy boat show yachts! They're just stored there.
