Whatchamacallit?

Post by Stefan »

Hi,
I want to replace a small triangular metal piece that came off the hull at the bow above the water line close to the lettering. It's about 1 inch in size. Could be some kind of anode or a piece related to ventilation. Mine is very corroded and needs to be replaced but I am not sure what it is called.
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefan

Thanks. It was too corroded to take a good picture but it I think it is likely an anchor locker vent. Now I have to find a replacement. Mine was glued on. This is for a CD30.
