I think you ran over a 1950's sci-fi sea creature...

but that's just my opinion.

I don't have clue as to what it could be, but I sure don't like the looks of it. :eek:

It's either the outdrive-lower unit, engine bracket, manifold, or a shopping cart?

I was going to say anode. Do some research before you replace it, there are different types for salt water and freshwater.

Either clean it or replace it. Looks like you've had some serious electrolysis going on there, but better the anode than your hull. I'd keep an eye on that from now on and clean it with a wire brush so it'll keep doing it's job.
