Any idea what this is? I just got my boat winterized, I’ve owned it for ten years and have never seen this piece before. It was sitting on the bottom of the boat near the steering wheel.  It’s about 3inches by 2 inches wide with two stubs and one hollow tube... has the word “YAMAHA” on the back. It appears to be a cover for something but I can’t find from where... almost looks like a trailer adapter, which I know it’s not... at a loss... 

Why not check with those who winterized the boat?

Sending a quick pic to this group was easier then having to drive over and talk to the shop... but it may come down to that if I can't find an answer.

I’ve found the culprit. Three wires coming off of the ignition/key system go to nowhere so this little black piece keeps them covered... i guess my next question is why is there three wires leading to no where off of the ignition, you can see in this diagram what I’m referring to... thanks!

Those wires control your power trim. When I found them in my first boat, I shorted the wires two at a time to see what would happen. I ended up rigging a remote trim switch on the bow.

Glad you found your answer the easy way!  I had a random trim piece in my old truck that I never found a place for.

Ya figured it was something along those lines, just odd to see three wires going nowhere. Guess I'll put the black cover on and pretend I didn't see it! Thanks for the response.
