Any ideas what these are?

[Guest]

Found some random items aboard new boat and wanted to ID before deciding what to do with... So, answers on a post card please!

 

The white 'Clipper' item was near the cover (round) for the smoke alarm so presumably may be from a previous iteration? The two grey things look new and unused - were vaguely near batteries (which seem to have pipes for filling - deionised water for that?) the black thing looks like packaging except for the orange labels... Any clues?

The 'Clipper' is an instrument cover

Do you have a speedo / windy-meter / compass / depth sounder etc etc ……………….

 

Something looking like this :

 

 

 

 

You can see the instruments on my Catamaran (the cover protects them from sunlight etc when not in use).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 'bottom' grey thing looks like it could be a mounting cradle for something (telephone, hand held GPs etc)

The two holes on the back screw to the wall and the 'instrument' sits in the cradle - it could be that there is a wire / connector for recharging.

The grey his look similar to the wall mounts that come with a hozelock house pipe.

Good thinking - it could well be.

Yes, nasty plastic things that need throwing away....

Ooh, @Alan de Enfieldis probably right about the Clipper thing. My battery monitor is a similar style to those instruments - nothing like the cover at all! 

 

The grey things are the same as each other and there was a hozelock reel on the boat when I got it. (Filthy beyond redemption and slightly broken so I've dismembered it and kept hose for pump out flushing). Good spot @Rob-M. They can go in my box of random hose attachments (both boats came with more of the tap fittings than I can explain) until storage gets too tight. 

 

@Mike the Boilerman. I'd have binned a bit of my battery thing if I hadn't checked on here! I quite like the idea of hiding it so I don't have to think about the fact I don't yet know how to maintain them!

Maintaining your batteries is easy. Whatever you do they will be knackered in 6 months*, so don't worry about it.
