I have a 1989 wellcraft Nova 23 xl. On the top foot ledge where you would board the boat just rearward of the side glass there is some unidentified item that has puzzeled me since we got her. It is round, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. It is approximately 1/8 inch thick at its edges & tapers to about 3/8 inch thick toward the middle. It has 4 screws attaching it to the boat, and a 1/4-20 treaded hole in the middle. There is one on both the port & starboard sides. They are not used for the cover or camper top. Any ideas? :confused:

Is there holes drilled through the ledge where wires might have been.Spotlight mounts?

No holes or wires. I'll see if I can snap a picture & somehow post it here. This is really puzzling

Re: Mystery part???

perhaps misc mount for holding removeable rod holders??<br /><br />antenna holders, maybe the wires were removed with the antenna and radio...of course most antenna mounts are male, not female thread.<br /><br />Good luck.

I agree, outrigger - AKA downrigger or boompole.
