What is this and do I want to replace / use it?

[Becca]

Hi All,
It looks to me like a bimini or tent pole awning system...yes, there are two on the other side....is this original to an E27? I recall in my youth a pole system you could bend that had a shank button. You'd put the button in the large hole and slide the neck/shank down to the small end.

Any ideas?

Votes for : a) remove and fill hull holes b) continue web search for similar bracket (2 hours invested already) c) ignore and move on to bigger issues

Sorry photo uploaded funny!
Best,
Becca

Tabs on a removable boarding ladder drop into those slots. I have not seen these for sale for many years, but then I have not been looking for one either!

Swim Ladder connections

Do you have the swim ladder that goes with the sockets?

If not get rid of them.

Swim Ladder in the PacNW?

Thanks for the identification!
Wow, I was sure those mounts were for some kind of canopy system...they are on both starboard and port side so I guess the ladder could be used either side if you couldn't figure out leeward or windward in a figure 8 MOB rescue??
Did the Swiftsure Regatta Cape Flattery course this year, safety lecture didn't mention such a neat-o ladder system

Best,
Becca

Disposing of brackets post haste...

Sorry California!

PacNW not the best for swim excursions unless you are this guy (zoom to end of dock)

Here it is in action

Becca,

I have the same setup just on starboard only. I really like the ladder. It's sturdy and all plastic so no rust. Mine was made by TaylorMade. I have looked, but I haven't found a new version searching online. I also like not having a ladder on the transom all the time, not that one would work on the E36RH anyway. Boarding from mid-ship is much better than the transom in wavy conditions too. If you still have the ladder, I would consider looking for the fitting or just using one side. Here are some pictures of mine.

I replaced two bracket like for my boarding ladder, except my where deck mounted.
I was able to find Stain Steel Replacements that work well.
