Any idea what this is in the cockpit of a Jeanneau Cap Camerat?

Hi, looking for help, this is in a friends 2008 Cap Camerat and we can't work out what it is for? Any knowledge on here to help is appreciated...

Looks like a female hose connector, perhaps?

Manual bilge pump (to have a lever / stick plugged into it)?

Pretty sure it’s a deck wash if it’s at the bow or a fresh water mains hook up if it’s at the stern. Probably the latter.

You need a male/male hoselock adaptor and then plug in the hose.

If it’s a deck wash then likely there will be a s/w pump somewhere.

If it’s a dock side hook up then careful with how much pressure you let in to the system, BenJen factory are not great at tightening jubilee clips

Water connector similar to this I think....

Yep = hose connector. If have exactly same part in my boat, connected behind the scenes to boat's pressurised freshwater, so I can plug in a hose and wash tenders using fresh water. But the same part can be used to plug in a dock hose so that you have pressurised dock water in all the taps in the boat, when you're in harbour.

As suggested, it could be a pumped deck-wash. Some modern boats also have a similar connector for "shore water" - like shore power but to allow you to connect up a hose to an external tap and feed fresh water direct to the taps without going through the tank. Our previous boat (Beneteau) had one, but none of the marinas would allow us to connect it for H&S reasons.
