The sternthruster is obvious to anyone, it`s what`s to the left of the sternthruster that concerns me. I know what a mirror is but can`t see one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A flat back of a boat or a ship is called the mirror.
Traditionally, a pry hole is usually made in the transom of a mirror sloop to be able to move the sloop with a pry belt. Modern mirror sloops usually no longer have this facility, because the art of prying is rarely taught.
The transom of a mirror ship is often painted and decorated with a coat of arms. Behind it are usually the captain's quarters and the guest quarters.
In addition to ships with a closed transom, there are also sailing ships with an open transom, such as the Tirion28 and the VQ24.
