Mystery bracket - help please!

[inkaporka]

G'day all

Just wanted to see if anyone can tell me what this bracket is, mounted on the starboard side of the stern of my 209 Escape (see photo, 1/2" drive socket for scale). Looks like it is a standard GW fitting but who know?

Thanks and all the very best from Downunder!

Looks like a bracket for a slide in ladder. Not a GW factory install though.....

Definitely a slide in ladder...and definitely not factory GW. From the factory, you would have a swim platform with folding ladder.

Hi to all
long time reader 1st time posting
I got also mystery thing on my GW 208 and i don't know what it is it

You guys are making these TOO easy! This one is a fender lock. If the PO left fenders, there should be a little peg tied to the end of the fender's rope that will snap into that center area.

thank you need get some pegs/clips for this locks

I got one more
this time it is missing mystery bracket
on top of the windscreen where are front and side panels joining sorting is missing but what

There would be a "top cap" there. It would span the gap and screw into the two holes you see. I would contact Grady or whomever made the windshield to see if you can get it. Are you missing one on the other side, too? It wouldn't be all that hard to make one out of 1/8" stock aluminum, though. It would be a good idea to get that piece to help the structure of the windshield.

The fender lock looks to be a Taylor Made Product item. Very easy to find.
