Most common name is a body plug if its on a car ( they have heaps of them ) but I dunno what the outboard peeps would call it . You should be able to get one from an auto parts shop for a couple of bucks .:)

I'm not at all sure that this is the original plug. At least on my pre 1972 outboards there is a rectangular little metal plate, which is the same color as the rest of the lower unit, that is held in place by 2 screws. It is called a "cover plate"

Typical of a plug used on " offshore " small motors.----Honda refers to it as a grommet.

It looks like there are 2 motors. The blue one looks like a pre 1972 Evinrude, the other one I do not recognize.

These grommets are common on 70.es and 80.es japanese engines such as Suzuki, Yamaha, "japanese built" Mariner and maybe Tohatsu (Nissan).
