Hey gang. Ended up with these, something mixed in with some other stuff we bought. Can someone please tell what they are? I thought maybe rigging for a sail boat..or?
Thx for your efforts. jimmy123x I'm guessing you'll know.

I do not believe those are sailboat rigging parts, at least they are unlike any sailboat rigging I ever saw. Now as to what they are, sorry I have no idea. Rod

They're boat parts. The handle goes to a manual bilge pump. You usually mount the handle separately and sometimes tie it to the pump with the rope, because the pump is usually mounted inside a shallow cabinet and with the handle on it, the door wouldn't close.
The 2 long flat ish items are for attaching the curved end to a railing, think 1" +/- stainless pipe. Then something mounts to them.
The other part with the triangle thumb screw is also for mounting the round part with the 4 bolts to a railing and the thumb screen mounted to something else, perhaps a small GPS or depth sounder.
The crudely fabricated part with the pulley was most likely for a sailboat (it all probably was) and used for a jib line to go through it or something else.
Unless you know exactly what boat they went to AND have a use for them on that boat, the parts are worthless. Sailboaters are known for crudely mounting all kinds of junk on the railings and deck to suit their use and have clutter all over the exterior.
Here's the pump the handle goes to, but the handle will come with several different models of pumps...…
The handle itself sells for $31.99, but it's a rare event someone needs a handle....usually a new pump comes with a handle and usually the pump goes bad, so you end up with spare handles.
They kinda sorta look like sailboat rigging parts, but, if they are, they don't appear to be off-the-shelf.
They'd also be for a very small boat.

The flat pieces with twists go over rails. An anchor will slide into the hole and on the opposite side the slot with a keeper on it. Look up Schaefer Rail Mount Anchor Hanger

Boil it all down and it's all Junk. Use a magnet to separate out the stainless bits because they do have more value at a recycling center than mild steel. BTW, nearly all marine fittings for watercraft are either 304 or 316 stainless and are not magnetic unless forged or cold worked.
I've stopped counting.

I *knew* those things looked familiar! Good catch.

The two stainless parts hook on to the bow pulpit and are for hanging a Danforth anchor. You slip the anchor into the hole and then the other end drops into the moving part of the other one.
And, when you are looking for that manual bilge pump handle (the backup for the electrics), and absolutely need it, it will undoubtedly be in the four foot deep lazarette buried under 62 life jackets and numerous other items that you haven't seen since 1962.
They are all sailboat parts BTW. I probably have some of those in the basement

This part (83745) is a rail mount for a Kuuma brand marine BBQ grill, it sells new for around $50.00.

Wichita was Ted Wells town. He was a prolific Snipe racer and designer of the Stagger wing Beechcraft. He raced and won trophies on the little lake I live on in Missouri. Beech's widow tired of Wells focus on racing and sent a plane to bring him back to fire him for it. He flew back to continue the regatta.This message has been edited. Last edited by: pbslinger,
