I'm replacing the ancient electrical panel in my 1993 Hunter 23.5. When I pulled the old one out, I found the expected mess and started tracing wires. The pictures attached are of two connectors (electrical I believe since wires run to them under the floor in the cabin) at the rear of the cockpit, one on either side. (Pictures far away with covers on, up close with covers off.) They remind me of the connector for the lights on top of my mast.
I can't find any reference to these in my owner's manual so they may not be original equipment. So... are they electrical connectors? What types of devices would you connect into them? Should these be directly connected to the battery, or run through the circuit panel so there's a circuit breaker on them. (Guessing "yes" on the last question. They are currently directly wired to the battery. Not sure how big of a deal this is.)
Thanks,
Evan
