I probably should know this, but I don't. It's on the side of the cockpit on a US Yacht 27' (sailboat). What is it?

I'm not positive, but I think you'll probably find a manual bilge pump attached on the other side of the bulkhead. There would be a socket handle that would go on the post you see, and you rock back and forth to pump the bilge. That's a pretty common older style sailboat arrangement so you can use a manual diaphragm pump (Guzzler or similar) from the cockpit.
