fishinguypat Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi I have been wondering what these 4 screws on the back of my fiberglass boat were. Unfortunately I can't contact the previous owner, and when I bought it I never really asked. I was thinking they were either for down-riggers or some kind of mast attachment :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 yes the 4 screws look like the mounting plate for big john riggers and the 2 single ones look like they could have been for rod holders ?? most times a planner mast is on the front ...thats what it looks like to me,if you are not going to use them at least seal them up with good quality marine silicone,so water will not get down inside there in case you have wood inside there....

fishinguypat Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 The two top are actually for covers and there are screws tight in place so I don't think any water could come through, I'm assuming they were for riggers now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
