If forward on the boat, then it could have been a toilet discharge ... which was not illegal way back when.
But if that is in the rear of the boat, then I would say it "was" a poor install of a thru-hull to feed a livewell or raw water washdown. On the bottom of the hull, what do you see? Do you see a bronze scooped water pickup? It also appears that the seacock (that ANY below the waterline penetration MUST have installed) has been removed.
You said 'custom' ... so perhaps the previous owner must have had a custom baitwell or washdown system and took the expen$ive parets with them when they sold the boat. Maybe they had rigged a cable system to the seacock lever that they could operate from the cockpit, without opening any hatches and getting on their knees ... and they liked it so much - it went with them!
Now that ?rubber? plug thingie inside the threads (a seacock would mate around those exposed OD threads) looks 'Rube Goldberg' DIY ... meaning homemade, but with no dispect to ol' Rube, as he's surely capable of GREAT DIY projects ... but this wasn't one of them.
That looks like it could sink the boat in seconds :shock: ! Please tell me that it threads in and is simply not pressed in ... :?: ?

It's a Transducer for a FF. That was a removable type. IE: the unit could unplug out of the fairing block.
