I got this contraption from a friend who got 2 of these in an auction that was from a police scuba unit.

(Aside from my bad hair day) Can you tell me what this is for?

It is used to supply cooling water to boat and jet ski engines when test running them out of the water. It goes over the fresh water intake and you hook your garden hose to it.
 
That makes sense! SO basically If I can turn it into some sort of fun summer water toy it might be useful.
 
They are about $10 at Wal Mart
 
They're used to flush salt water from the inside of the cooling system of your outboard motor after pulling it from the water after use.
Same principle as washing your dive gear after use in salt water.
Corrosion is deadly on metal parts.
 
What do you mean IF you can turn it into some fun water toy? Seems pretty straightforward - it has two rubber cups and it clamps onto something, you have two ears on your head ...

:D
 
Don't forget to equalize before you turn on the garden hose.:rofl3:
 
haha.. i was thinking that it might fit over your ears too! I think its a training device to practice equalizing above water.
