It isn't my boat my friend...I am on the power side but my buddy has a 46' in the program and we got to upgrade to 50'. It had only 300 engine hours so expect 2023 at the oldest. They come out of both sides of the boom so 2 pieces (see pic). We had a broken hook and when we searched the boat we found these 2 unfamiliar poles in the forward storage and when we decided to mess with the shade we recognized what they were for. They were black with a stainless steel button on top that fit through the holes on the corners...as I mentioned one hole in the boat for the poles is on the cockpit top so shorter. it took some work to get the poles all the way down in the holes
