Anybody know what this is on transome

If it's a kicker plate you probably would have to use something like a cabela's Marine tech outboard motor bracket. I wonder if they ever used it for a kicker because I would think you would have to have holes drilled in it. I have never used one but I do have a outboard motor bracket I bought a few years from a coworker.

I have one just like it . It is a sleeve for a kicker. the kicker mounts to a taller transom like plate that has a flat aluminum plate attached to it. you slide it down into the plate attached to your boat. works very well and it does not come out and i have had mine in some rough water. getting it out is actually so tough I quit using it but bought a another boat for skinny water

Thanks everybody. I have a 4 horse Nissan 4 Stroke. Sounds like it is sort of a hassle.Think that size motor would be a chore to use with this thing?
