Part of your boat's bonding system. Look it up and you will find all you ever wanted to know.

I'd be more concerned with what looks like a run of the mill brass ball valve. That does not look like a trustworthy 'seacock'. I could be mistaken though as it's a small picture. It also appears there may be some corrosion on those hose clamps as well? Should be SS, bad combo if it is non SS clamps and a Home Depot BV

If you are referring to the seacock with the lrg sani hose clamped on to it, those "wires" look like copper tubing to me. Pardon me if I misinterpreted which one you were referring to.

I agree that the thru hull with the white sani hose has copper tubing. Looks like a drier and refrigerant lines.

Correct!

I third the bonding. Figured Marlin had it under control

Not wire but copper refrigerant tubing. Most likely for your isotherm fridge system. https://www.indelwebastomarine.com/i...-self-pumping/

Sure looks like copper tubing to me.

Why would anyone have copper tubing connected to a thru-hull BEFORE the ball valve?

You can see the green bonding wire jacket with sleeve on lower seacock. Upper ball valve looks like the bonding wire insulation is missing, but why?

Either way I would run new grounds and put backing plates in while installing new seacocks.

Well if you are looking at the seacock at the centre of the picture with the white hose (expand it) that is definitely copper tubing, not wire....

As for the one at the bottom of the pic it's to blurred to tell what's going on there.

Why would the OP indicate that they are wire not tubing?

Dunno, have to wait for him/her to come back and explain

Could be tubing not wire.

There is a isotherm refrig. Thought too small to be tubing.
