Livewell light nut.
Was checking battery charger and found 1/2 a clear nut laying in the battery compartment. Started looking and found it was the nut for the livewell light. It had just split in two on a seam. It’s a 2004 boat and assume the hard plastic nut had just gotten old and brittle.
Was surprised that it only had a rubber gasket and had not had any sealant used from the factory. Sealed it back up with 5200 and used a nut from a livewell thru hull I had in a drawer. It’s a vinyl nut this time.
The port side nut was loose on the fitting also but had not split.
If you have a mid 2000 boat with the livewell lights that go thru the back of the livewell, might check them out.

I'll have to check mine. My lights come up thru the bottom though.
