What is this?

What is this, what do I use it for? Found it on the boat I bought.

It's a part for a Raymarine Wheel pilot, screws to pedestal to hold that part of ring in place.

WELL DONE, Ted, Marc, and Jamme!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate that, I have been confused about it for a while.. curious why it's not installed

[marcjsmith]

if you have a raymarine auto pilot. it could be an extra. My boat had the raymarine 4000, but came with a Raymarine 6002 not installed. when I installed the 6002 I was able to reuse the 4000 pedestal bracket.


So maybe it was just in the "junk drawer" of spare parts...
