What us this heavy red LEGO piece with no obvious connectors?
I got a bulk box of LEGO on eBay and this was in it. It has the LEGO logo at either end but the pegs at the bottom don’t connect to anything. It’s heavy, like a battery but no connectors and doesn’t come apart. It doesn’t appear to be magnetic. Any ideas?!

Welcome to Bricks.SE! This is almost an exact duplicate question, except that the last time this came up, the part was broken :) bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2903/…

It's a Boat Keel Weighted 8 x 2 x 4.
Which attaches to the bottom of a boat hull, providing sub-surface ballast necessary to keep the boat steady. There are also weighted bricks one may use in the hold of the larger cargo hull, though those are often used on trains.
