Name this part

Hi all,

2002 Kawasaki 900 STX

After winterizing my ski at the end of last summer, this part broke off from the rear:



I have no idea what it's called, and can't find it in the service manual either. There are 4 of them, 2 on either side of the impeller/jet pump housing. It looks like the bolt/screw itself sheared off inside. Here is a pic of the other side (no idea why it's discolored either):



Any help would be appreciated!

They appear to be inserts for the bolts to mount a boarding ladder.

The inserts are for mounting a bording step.

Ahh you are both correct, thanks so much. Talk about a "duh" moment, now that I look at it it's pretty obvious.

So none of those should be thru-hull holes correct? i.e. it won't leak with that one missing?

I don't think they are blind holes, but would have to go look at my 1100 hull to be sure.
I would go get some stainless metric bolts, flat washer, and silicone, and seal the holes.
I'm curious about the rust running from the one.
