On the port bow of my 1988 13-footer are a pair of mounting bases. I think the purpose of these paired mounting bases is to mount a trolling motor or perhaps to mount a lamp.
View the illustration below and give me your opinion of the purpose of these paired mounting bases.
1988 13-footer: Identify Component on Bow
Re: 1988 13-footer: Identify Component on Bow
My boat has the same pair of rubber disks fastened to the bow deck. Mine are black. They are quick release mounts for a trolling motor bow bracket. The prior owner used them with a MotorGuide Great White GWB 80V. I don't fish so removed the two extra heavy batteries and sold the trolling motor. I have never gotten around to removing the quick release mounts and restoring the screw holes.

Thanks. The mounts on my boat are metallic--I think. I have a brand now: Motorguide.
