    According to my copy of the 1976 Special Tool catalog it is an installer – bearing race for inner bearing #379593 on intermediate housing driveshaft of ball gear. For all 80 – 245hp stern drives. I believe that would be about 1964 to about 1976 give or take a few years. I think the hole was to hang it up on a wall board for organization.
