    Looks like its part of a puller.

    If you run a 5 year old or newer Skeeter it looks like one of the two drain covers on the floor at the base of driver and passenger seats.

    Here is a picture on one of mine from my 2021.

    I believe that’s it. Thanks! Mine are still attached so I guess they sent a spare in the bilge in case mine blow off going down the road.

    Skeeter is good about giving you extra hardware/nuts/bolts etc that you didn't ask for. I love how they store them in the bilge for you as well.....

    A coworker of mine had found a connecting rod bolt stuck to a magnetic oil drain plug. After dropping the oil pan and verifying all the conrods were fine, he came to the conclusion that someone at the factory had been messing with him

    I could see someone playing a practical joke on someone like that-maybe put an entire piston inside the cowl of their outboard so it falls out when they open it up.

    I found a nice wrench in a previous Skeeter.

    There’s a nice, small, aluminum flashlight somewhere in the bilge of my tin rig. I know because I dropped it when installing my new troller. It hasn’t made its way to the back yet.
