In the process of repairing the fold-down transom seat (broken out screws) I noticed that there are screws on the top of the swim ladder rails (see photo). I'm wondering if those screws originally held in place a rubber or plastic bump stop. It seems when I step on it when it is folded down that it gives slightly until it bears on those rails.
Any thoughts on what those screws should be holding?
