Return of the what are these do-dads?

[VisionPNW]

The more I clean my boat the more puzzling treasures I find. Any ideas?

Not sure?

 

[jssailem]

They are water proof caps to seal something. Maybe a radio fitting either antenna or mike. Or an electrical connection like wires going into the deck near the mast.

 

[RajinCajun]

caps for gas bottles for a Magma grill?

 

[jssailem]

@RajinCajun yep that works for me too.

 

[VisionPNW]

They are threaded to fit together, with both male and female parts. Maybe garden hose fittings? If there was a hole in either part, I'd call it a weld-in bung.

they are round things..

 

[Ken13559]

For keeping your contact lens? The o-rings makes it water tight.

 

[Will Gilmore]

Pill box. Put your nitro pills in them and screw the male and female together and you'll never get them wet while changing the headsail to a storm jib.
Or, you can cap off a sink faucet that is below the waterline when going away for the season.

Oh, they are much more than just round things; metal things, threaded things, knurled things, ...

[Parsons]

If you have my luck, they are spare parts for a piece of obsolete equipment the PO replaced five years before you bought the boat! But ... I guarantee that two weeks after you through these in the trash, you will find they are indispensable for storing some piece of equipment that you currently own. Your choice on bad luck.

They are most certainly thing-a ming jings that attach to the doohickey to facilitate

They are most certainly thing-a ming jings that attach to the doohickey to facilitate the raising of the Whomper ( but keep this top secret, no reason to let the other boats know what you are up to)

 

[Ron20324]

One looks like the cap to a canteen. But with the two, they look like a pill container- like to keep the Vaigra in..

 

[topcat0399]

All I know for sure is that a week after you toss them the need for them will suddenly arise...

 

[Will Gilmore]

Try searching hose or faucet caps.
This might be a job for the Headmistress.

[Newport Bob]

Think about something liquid that is disconnected and both sides need to be capped. Size would help to determine possible

 

[Apex]

Looks to me like a VHF through fitting cap: see here
Male cap would cover female side, female/male. And looks like two sets in the picture.

 

[kloudie1]

Refrigerant service caps?

 

[MisterR6]

The one in the link from apex is EXACTLY what I cap mine with when the mast is down. Thats what I was thinking the op's picture was, I was going to attatch a picture of mine, but that its the same.
