It's no secret that I am new to this website forum and am very appreciative of everyone's help. However, I know that I am not the only new member to the site nor to owning a C25. Going a step further, I imagine there are other new owners (of used C25's) who have been exploring their new vessels and finding modifications that can't be found in the owner's manual. I am proposing that we start an on-going topic of "What Is It?" and that we post pictures of what we find and all of you more experienced owners help us Newbies out. Let us know if we need it or get rid of it. This is for all you new C25 owners...post away.

I'll start with this one first. Yesterday I was doing the wiring under the quarter berth to eliminate that third battery I asked everyone about in a previous topic and came across this piece of equipment that was either stuck to (or through) the hull and the attached wire. What is it? Don't worry, I didn't yank on it.
Good to be back at sea!

The photos are a little small, but the left one looks like a transducer for a depth finder or fish finder. The other one, is it rectangular?

It's rectangular and it also has Velcro on it. The boat has a working depth finder on it. Since this one is not attached (you are seeing both ends)it's not the depth finder.

So those are opposite ends of the same wire?

My boat has 2 transducers epoxied to the hull. One is a previous model that no longer works, the other, is the one I installed for my current GPS/chartplotter/depth.

It appears you copied the URLs for the thumbnails of the pictures in Shutterfly. If so, get to the pictures themselves, copy those URLs, edit ()your initial post, and paste them in place of what you have (or add another post with them).

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Hit "Reply with quote", and you see the URLs, which in his case point to Shutterfly, which I also use. The rest is extrapolation.

Of course, you could upload the images to your membership account [url="https://www.catalina-capri-25s.net/"]here[/url] and post them.

Just sayin!

Looks to be a bilge water sensor.

Don, When I touched it, it kind of felt like it was glued to the surface. Normally a through the hull item has a much firmer feel. I was able to wiggle this, so I think you might be right, that this is an internal sensor and not a TTH sensor. The other item is the wire protruding from the sensor that is attached to nothing. It has Velcro on it. I wonder if there is a battery somewhere (either in the sensor or the end of the wire) and that square object is the "alarm" piece that notifies if there is water in the bilge.
