Is this GPS tracker?

Hi Guys, As I'm trying still to figure out systems on recently bought boat (ex-charter), I found blackbox which looks like GPS tracker? It have GPS antenna on it, name of the devce is "RP Track03", can somebody confirm it? If its tracker I'm furious that broker/previous owner did not removed it... I've tried to google name/PN but no results

Have you asked the charter company that your boat was in?

Re: Is this GPS tracker?

If it's a tracker, and the boat was in charter, it may have been added by the charter company.

And if it's a tracker. might have been intended as a security measure. And whomever may have simply forgotten to remove it.

Don't see any reason to be "furious" about anything. Unplug it, move on, easy. No need to waste angst.
