TOPIC: 1976 Fiberform 26 ft cruiser

Howdy, new to the forum. I just bought a 1976 Fiberform 26 ft cruiser. For its age it is in very good condition. I do have a mystery for you thought. at the stern end of my boat there is a walk through with a safety chain at the top of the stern rails. Something used to reside in the walk-through as there at two strips of teak on each side of the pass through that are about 14 inches long. It appears that a plug of some sort used to go in this place probable to protect from waves coming over the stern and into the deck area behind the cabin. My guess is that is was a plug that slipped over the teak strips and slid down to close the pass through. Can anyone help me understand what was there at one time.
This is 26 foot cabin cruiser with mercruiser out-drive and 300 hp Ford 351 Windsor. Thank you for any assistance you can provide me.
