Hello everyone,

Are there anyone who knows what the two round black electrical components are, on the picture attached?


Thanks

look like 12v relays, any idea what the wires go to.

Relays, judging by the wire gauge for something large and with two directions, so either windlass or bow thruster. Should be easy enough to figure out which of the two in case you have both - they will clack loudly when the solenoid engages :)

Thank you very much for your responses. It is the windlass relays. Thank you for the hints on what to look for :)
