Was at the lake today and the piece on the lower unit right above the prop that looks like a fin fell off.. What is that thing called? Proper name if anyone knows it so I can order a new one

That's what I thought it was called and when I looked online to order a new one it keeps bringing up parts for the actual trim.

It's called an "Anode". It is made out of lead.

Sorry about that, your right it is Zinc. Not sure why I said lead. It's not very heavy.
