    What is this?

    Pic of the setback on the new to me Z520. Is this a plug from a former thru hull transducer? Or something else

    Could be, the boat is wrapped and I can't get in it. I was hoping it was a plug and I could reuse the hole.

    It is a factory installed temperature sensor. Mine was not sealed well and leaked like crazy. That's how I figured it out

    Had same thing on bottom of my new to merit when I bought it....when I was working in the bilge, I found it, was a through hull that previous owner snipped wires and just left in place to seal hole.
