What is this??

OK.  I'm stumped.  What is the female hose connector in my anchor locker used for?

Hi Bob,

A female connection indicates the water source external to the boat.  Most likely it is shore water connection.  My older Catalina did not have one, I installed mine in the aft end of the port combing.  That allows infinite water supply when docked.

As a follow up, if the connection was a male fitting, the would indicated the water source was internal, mostly likely  pressure water to wash off the anchor on retrieval.
