What would these pad eyes be for

[Akapeterc]

On my yacht there are 2 pad eyes on the starboard side towards the bow. I don't know if they were put on originally by the manufacturer (Hunter) or put on by past owner. Any idea what they would be used for?

I just had an idea. I remember seeing on their Facebook page a large what looked like an esky on the front of the boat. That could be what it was for

Lashing point?

Fender hangers, lashing points for kayak or SUP, what's an esky ?

Would it be where you attach the halyards to silence them at anchor? Kinda hard to tell how forward they are of the mast from the pictures.

Some kinda cooler, possibly.
