It will answer your question and probably cause you to ponder other questions.
Before you post those new questions read this thread for guidance on how to summon the gurus.

Looks to me like that hole is from a different motor unless the other side is offset like that to the right a bit.

By all means read those threads.
Motor height is individual to the boat,motor and propeller.
The idea is to have the motor as high as possible without having ventilation(cavitation) problems.Usually the anitventplate(just above the prop ends up slightly higher than the bottom of the boat.
