That's a fishing rod holder

I think the small square one is a grill mount.

I'd say in that location it may have been used to hold a grill.  You can buy brackets for grills that fit into fishing rod holders.

Rod holder for sure. That is mounted too low to use as a grill adapter. The bottom of the grill would be too close to the gunwale.  By the way, that's not exactly the best place to have a rod holder ... it'll crack the gelcoat.  Better to have mounted it to the gunwale.

Here’s a link to the grill mount I mentioned.

I’m pretty sure he knows the rod holder, I think he’s talking about the item to the left of it.

On an other post he said there is one on each side of the cockpit. I am assuming he is talking about the fishing rod holders but who knows.................

I assume the OP knows the item to the right is a rod holder. The square bracket is a lot like a Magma A10-240 side-square bulkhead BBQ mount. After market for sure.

Oh .... now I feel dumb. LOL.  Yeah, what the heck is that??

It's the hinges on the door so it can swing open or closed. This is one of those moments when you ask a question but aren't specific and it leaves room for idiots like me to make comments.

 It does look like a kettle style grill mount. But as raybo pointed out he did say there was one on each side. 🤔

15 minutes and some Spectrum patch paste and all of those mysteries are solved.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Yes I am aware the round cylinder shaped ss bracket is a roc holder. It is the square shaped bracket directly above the battery switch panel. And the boat has the same on the starboard side. Sorry about the 2 posts onward topic. I am new and didn't realize that they showed up delayed after being approved.

I am thinking side mount table mount like this.  https://images.app.goo.gl/jr4FhH5gV6VQ3KU19
Maybe a bait table ?
