Anyone identify the purpose of this mounted on both sides of a Lund gunwale?

Looks like an anti skid step plate to get in and out of the boat without slipping or marking up the boat.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It's a cover to go over the hole someone drilled where there shouldn't be one..............

Wow, pretty fancy thing when a strip of grip tape would work just as good and maybe even better. Thank you!

I'm sticking to sliding rail track attachment for various accessories.

They aren't on my boat they are on a buddy's boat that he just bought recently. They are definitely not tracks to mount gear... The step pad definitely makes sense although I can't see them being useful.

Jethro,

Can you give specifics on the model and year of your friend's Lund boat?  I will contact the factory! Let's get this mystery solved!  ;D

Looks like a Sea-Dog stainless steel deck step. It's so ya don't  slip when you step down onto your gunwale.
