Re: [electricboats] What kind of fitting is this?

Photos attached illustrating Dan's and Myles' comments.
The "male" spline protrudes from the forward side of a sailboat transmission; the "female" side is attached to the flywheel of a small diesel engine.  The flywheel is attached to the engine's crankshaft.  Between the tranmission unit and the flywheel bell housing on the motor is an adapter plate.  Removing or installing the transmission involves sliding the transmission spline into the flywheel spline.
The spline you illustrated first is designed to mate with something in particular.  Why not consult with the mfg. and ask what it's intended for?  That might set you on a productive path to getting an answer to your question.
