The engine bilge had water in it so I cleaned it out. And - found hardware! A plastic knob with the stem broken off at its base, A bolt with a nut almost at the top, a washer, a small nut, and a thin brass washer not shown.
Maybe the raw water filter is where the knob came from. I can't find one on it. The rest . . .????
If it is off the raw water filter, can I replace it? Or, do I have to replace the whole strainer?
Hareware found in the engine bilge water

Other views of the hardware/ engine compartment
Kinda like cleaning a watch and having parts left over

The big flat washer is definitely from a seacock. Probably from the seacock that controls water out of the sink drain on the starboard side of a CD27.
The bolt and washer "may" be an engine mount bolt but it could be other things.

solitary nut
I have an '84 22D with the Yanmar 1GM10 and the solitary nut pictured looks like an engine mount nut. Mine are 5/8" fine thread and labeled M14. ???

loose parts in the bilge
I just had the sink seacock replaced. So, maybe this is not all bad news. But, I will check out the engine bolts today.

Second Chance
Maybe take a look in the bilge, too
If you found that stuff under the engine, wonder what might be in the bilge? Everything tends to end up there.
Take a wet/dry vac to get out all the water, then grab anything with an "olive picker".
In mine, besides the usual pieces of hardware, nuts, washers, screws, bolts, zip ties, I found pliers, a wrench and a screwdriver, all in various stages of decomposition.
