Alright boys and girls, time to play "Let's identify those shiney thingies"

Found those in the boat and don't know what they are for. I know that "A" came off either from the mast or boom but that's as far as I know. Have no ideas what those other doohickeys are for. I would guess that "D" is a BBQ support of some kind because it seemed to have heated at the ends.

I can help for a few.

A?
B?
C is the manual bilge pump handle
D are pot holders for the stove. They look exactly like the ones from the curtain burner on a 25. The PO may have had another Catalina.

Hope this helps.

"A" is the mid section of the mast light combo which has the steaming light and deck light.

A - I can agree with Randy on this one, but the photo angle is difficult to really tell.
B - They look really familiar, but I can't place them
C - Bilge pump handle
D - pot holders for a princess stove

"B" are the corners of a multidirectional radar reflector. Similar to this one. Look around for a small plastic envelope with three pieces of sheet metal in it.

Yeah, but the quantity (6) seems right.

Thanks a bunch guys. I think you all have it. I do have a radar reflector so that must be it.

Not if they go on the corners of square pieces that intersect to form a more angular reflector.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
There you go... to keep the corners from punching holes in your sails. This group would make a pretty good detective agency.
