Don't you hate it when you put something back together and find that you have parts left over that you can't identify?
Don't you really really hate it when you find a screw or a nut underneath the engine or up on the deck of the boat that you can't identify?
Here's a third variation. I was searching for stuff in our spare parts bin when I found the object in the picture below. It is a very fancy piece of plastic. It has a complex shape. It has a rubber o-ring near the end. Clearly it was designed for some highly specific task. It appears to be very new, not covered with dust or grease like most things in my spare parts bin. The trouble is that I have no memory of ever seeing it before, nor any idea of what it is for, nor how it got on board the boat or in the spare parts bin.
Libby wouldn't put it there as a joke, but perhaps I should start believing in gremlins.

It's difficult to tell the size, even with the baggie in the photo. But in shape it looks like the end plug on an electric tiller pilot. If there is a hole in the cylinder to the left, that would fit over a pin on the tiller. But then, I don't know if you have a tiller pilot or, if you do, what make it might be.
ReplyDeleteDick,
ReplyDeleteI is the 1 and 1/2" outlet that comes with a Y valve for a holding tank. It is the same brand that I have on my boat. I don't remember the brand but they come with a 2" and a 1 1/2". Hope This Helps.
