I replaced my tiller pilot socket today and pulled this off my boat. I assume it was used to power a tiller pilot that the PO kept. It's a Dri Plug 2-pin socket like the BD500S shown here:
I have the same thing on my boat, but am missing the part that plugs in (male part?). Are you missing that part also since you don't know what was plugged into it?
Yep. I'm missing the male plug end as well. I'm about 95% sure that the PO had a tiller pilot that he plugged in there so when he sold the boat, the tiller pilot (with the male plug) went with him and the socket went with the boat since it's a huge pain to take it off and fix the holes... Luckily the new socket I just installed covered all of the holes from the old one.
