[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 420569, member: 15636"] Those are clips to hold a piece of flexible wood (batten) or plastic to support a boat cover. Usually there would be a corresponding clip on the other side, but maybe the previous owner made up some kind of custom gizmo that secured the other side. The pieces would be flexed to insert and are much longer than the span they cover, so that there is a natural upward bend. Usually the bend is a pretty good one, like a foot higher than the level where the mounts are. The bend is to keep the cover tight and help shed rain. [/QUOTE]
