I started the restoration process of a couple of canoes recently and they each had a bit of something that look a bit odd for canoes. People do funny things to there canoes but I don't have these items figured out. whats your guess?
Pictures 1&2- there are five small plastic "mirror clips" mounted, evenly distributed on each side, with the open part of the clip pointed down. there is no indication of running of steering cables, gas lines or anything like that. Its just a std O.T. 16ft OTCA, not heavily used.
Pictures 3 &4- , two eye bolts on either side at the center of the canoe and two screw eyes on either end of the keel. they could be a lot better placed if they were for hanging the canoe. It appears the canoe was used with the eye bots in place because they were bent over and efforts were made to waterproof their sealing. I think they might of made some drag on the canoe!
