Name these parts

There are some spare parts that came on my newly acquire used sailboat. Can anyone identify these?

The pictures below show a water pump gasket and a water pump impeller cover for a size reference.

Thanks, Steve

In the first photo the clue is right there -- autohelm. They are used
to attach a metal ring to your wheel which the band from the motor
of the autopilot goes around. Extra plastic parts are sent to cope
with wheels of more or fewer spokes.

On the lower picture the slotted stainless machine screws and the flat rubber flapper valves to the right look like parts from a rebuilding kit for a manual bilge pump called a Whale Gusher.

Jonathan,

Thanks. When I saw the autohelm label, I thought of the actual unit, not the additional parts that get attached to the wheel!

Jay,

Mystery solved! I found a large diaphragm on the boat also, but it doesn't fit the waste pump on the boat which is a Whale Gusher 8 Mk. III. But I bet the parts fit the bilge pump, which I haven't had time to check out yet.

Thanks guys - Steve.
