Continuing my exploration of my new to me boat I was checking out the compartment located on the port side of the stern cabin and found a number of unconnected items: an insulated hose, a black vent hose and an electrical harness. Any guesses what each of these were used for?

Assuming they are no longer connected to anything: the fiberglass insulated hose appears to be from an exhaust system, perhaps a generator? The flex hose would be for air circulation. The connector...who knows....for an air blower?

Hector; My guess would be the same as Paul's on the water muffler exhaust and the vent hose. I'd put a volt-ohm-meter on the wire leads and look to see if it is still carrying voltage as it looks to be a power connection. Perhaps for an older chart plotter or GPS /. Hopefully no 110 V AC from a power inverter.

I don't think there ever was a generator on this boat but I believe there was a diesel heater that was decommissioned. I traced the wires to the battery but they were not connected. The positive (no pun intended) is that I'm going to reuse the wiring to power the fridge compressor.
