Is it plastic or a zinc? Wires on inside mounting bolts connected to motors?

Its an Anode and should be replaced when it gets a crust covering it. As said it should have a bonding wire on the inside of the boat running to a ground either on a stud at a bell housing or right to a battery.

Best to go to engine block on back where all your ground wires connect to the bell housing stud. All ground/bonding wires should really go to 1 single connection point.

You can check the site provided or any boating center should have them. There used on a lot of cruiser style boats and some center consoles.
