    Help Me Identify Part I Found On My SX210

    I found this part on the swim deck after a day of boating on my 2017 Yamaha SX210. I have no idea how it got there or where it came from and I can't figure it out from a Google search of the image. I found it disassembled but it looks like everything goes together. Any help is appreciated!
