Hunter 34 White St Helens, OR
On our recently purchased 1983 Hunter 34 I have discovered while crawling around looking at thru-hulls a blue metal box to starboard of the fuel tank with wires leading to and from it - does anyone know what it might be or was? Sorry I forgot to take a photo.

Most likely not original to the boat..
Battery charger maybe.but really could be any of a number of owner/dealer installed items. Note that the boat did not come with a battery charger installed from factory..Original electrical diagram:

If it looks like this, then it's the blue box from the movie Mulholland Drive, open it at your peril:

As you can see sometimes the imaginations run wild when confronted with a "Blue Box" of unknown nature on this site.
Pictures might be helpful if you want a more cognizant response.

On the other hand if you are just trying to gauge the creativity of the sailors who frequent these waters you have not even scratched the surface.
