Stuck a camera in rear of 1981 H-30 to get pic's for another post about the drain hoses. The black hose is the fuel filler, the other 2 are drain hoses, but what is in the middle below everything else !!!!

Is it real?

does that look native to wisconsin?

I didn't see it until I downloaded the pic's. I don't know how a real one could survive on a boat. Only food onboard is Mt. Gay.

Another reason to close all the seacocks when you leave the boat.

One of those rubber decoys used to keep the #%*+ birds off the boat?

I like it!

congrats! You found a mascot.
is the boat named "Sea adder" or something?

Looks like flat vinyl covered cable usually used for grounding the boat. My hunter had very similar cable used for this purpose. Looks like the cable is attached to the port side bolt holding the rudder skeg.

Slithering update

Went out today, slowly reached through the hole I cut in the deck, and grabbed it before it could bite me!!

You've never had my mother in law's chicken.

I am figuring that maybe someone once bought it to scare the birds off the boat, and it eventually ended up in the bottom. Left it on deck coming out about a foot from the traveler. See if anyone see's it.

And attacks it.

In Green Bay that's a snake, In Florida it is a worm.

worm is right. No self respecting osprey would even give it a second glance.
