sacrificial anode
That makes me feel better. I do run this boat in salt water some. It was the original from '97. I noticed last year it was loose, so I tighten on it with a pipe wrench, but even tighten all the way down it still had some rattle/wiggle in it.
The rectangular anodes look fine.
Hopefully this is a part I can pick up locally at a boat store today.

There is a bolt that you access from the top that you should be able to tighten instead of using a pipe wrench, it is adjustable so if you ever feel your boat pulling to one side you can adjust this to help out some, it is meant to counteract the pull from the rotation of the prop.
It is also a sacrificial anode.
