Name This Accessory?

I have about 6 or 7 of these screwed in around random locations in the cockpit. I think it might be some kind of mount where you can hang a drink holder or something, but I can't find any drink holders with a matching part. The item is circled in the attached picture. Not the best picture but I'll see if I have more. Anyone know what these are?

two more in this photo, one on each side of the transom door

You're pretty far from the object in the first picture. The object in the first picture looks like a hand hold. The second picture has nothing circled.

The white hook in the center of the second picture is a holder for a life ring (throwable PFD ring).

It's the black thing behind the hand hold in the first pic. Attached the second pic with the objects circled. Forgot to take a closeup of one over the weekend and now the boat is 2 hours away. Will try to remember this weekend. Click on the pic and you can kind of see them a little better ... they are each held on with 2 phillips screws, and there's a pocket on the lower left. Some have little rubber nubs in them above the pocket, and some don't

Funny you mentioned that life ring holder; I've removed it since the pic was taken ... always got in the way when opening the stb engine hatch, plus it snagged / tore the edging off my cockpit cover.

I finally remembered to get a picture of these up close ... anyone know what it is? The little atom button is squishy rubber.

Perhaps poles/frames for a bimini slide/snap into them?

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner: the original owner is a friend of my dad's, so I got his number and texted the pics to him. Turns out my initial guess was correct, they are indeed mounts for swiveling self-leveling cup holders. I still can't find any cup holders sold today that use those as a base, but I guess I'll just leave them there since they each would leave 2 empty screw holes.

The holes can be filled. Sometimes, I'll just remove the item, compound and wax the area, then reinstall the screws only with some 3m 4000 caulk. A few random screws look better than aging mounts with no actual function.
