What is this thing?

Could anyone tell me what this bracket is used for? Just bought a boat and there's one on each side. It says goldeneye products on it. Thanks for any help!

That is a no tie rope cleat for tying your boat off as well as your anchor rope off.

Molded Nylon Zig Zag Rope Cleat
It's for hanging fenders
Simply weave rope around cleat arms, no knots needed. Great for fender lines, trailer covers and utility lines. Fits line up to 3/8".
Can be found on i-boats

You zig-zag the rope between those grooves to secure your dock or anchor lines...
