The pins are pretty hefty to handle current. My vote is for a trolling motor.
Is it connected to anything?
My first thought was trolling motor, but I wasn't sure how one would attach to the front with how the boat is shaped. Also, the aluminum over the top isn't quite strong enough to support a person's weight. If it were for a trolling motor it would have to have an interesting way of mounting it and also a remote way to control it without having to stand on the aluminum sheet. But it is possible!!
The wires were going to the ignition switch as nearly as I can tell. That, however, has recently all been ripped out. lol
I don't figure we will ever have any use for it. Trying to brainstorm some ideas of what to put there to cover/use the hole. My first thought was a 12V accessory/cigarette lighter, but being at the very front like it is, I don't know how much good it would do...
Thanks
