Unknown connection

#1 Post by RZskier » Mon May 12, 2025 7:46 am

I recently acquired a 2008 Manitou Osprey Pro (24 ft) and would like to know what purpose the rail connectors (photo attached) are used for. There are 2 on the side rails behind the bimini top, 2 mounted on the swing doors, 2 on the side rails, and 2 on the front rails. They are threaded but I have no attachments with the boat that fit. Maybe some type of cover support that was once used?? Hopefully someone can enlighten me. THanks!

Hard to say. Mine had rod holders kinda similar that dropped inside but they connecters were bigger.

Thanks! That makes sense. Still trying to figure and update this boat.
