Rod holder brackets??

[Fishin' Jeff]

I am in the process of re-furbishing my mid-70's aluminum v-hull. Forgive my ignorace but have owned the boat less than a year (yeah I'm a newbie) but I'm curious to what these brackets are and what they're used for. A buddy told me they were rod holder brackets. I googled and only could find links to more modern holders.<br /><br />

<br /> <br /><br />There are four brackets on each side of the boat. Here is a view of two of the brackets.<br /><br />

Well,........ The Top Picture is a Oar Lock,+ a Mooring Cover support bracket.....<br /><br />The Mooring Cover Support Brackets would have had a Wooden Stick, or possibly Fiberglass sticks that went from 1 side to the other......<br />These would hold the center of the Cover Up,+ allow Drainage,+ Stop the water from pooling.....<br /><br />No Rod Holders,.. Or their Parts in your photos.........
