I doubt thats your problem....that looks like a drain for your anchor storage. Sometimes filling the boat up its tricky to find a leak. If I had to guess I would say its a livewell pump thats leaking. Not the fitting but the pump itself. Try backing the boat down at the launch with just the stern in the water and open your rear hatch and look to see where its leaking.
