Those are used to mount on docks for folks to tie up their boats to. Usually they're smaller on lakes; that looks like it could handle the Queen Mary. Looks fairly new, being that bright color. They do weigh a bunch. Don't drop it on your toe! -Noodle

They are called "Cleats". Used to tie up boats on the docks and on the boats. The bigger the boat the bigger the cleat required.
I had a buddy used a 16lb. bowling ball for and anchor. He got tired of loosing anchors. Figured the round ball would not get caught up on anything but would supply enough weight for his small boat. GUESS WHAT? Bowling Balls FLOAT.....

Found an engine block once, I think the rest of the car was there somewhere.

Good job never would have thought that those balls float?!? I found it up in south haven Michagen. Now what can I do with it in Indy with no water for a boat??

If I get in deep and fast enough water I could use it to tie up my dredge. Joe
