Are they trying to to use it as a self righting device for if it goes over ?

If it's just empty space would it be enough to right the boat

It's a storage box rather than self righting one. Good idea though; cheap self righting bag - just attach a big plastic barel or something.

Also appears to have been moored in area that dries, you'd think they'd have checked the chart.
