It is a plate to raise the transom 5" as the original transom height was 20" and this is a 25" shaft engine
The transom seems ok however, being that it is original I would not be surprised if it has soft spots and this bracket is working as a crutch
I will find out this coming winter as I am going to spend some time checking that out
