Attached are 2 pictures of a bolt I found laying loose inside my hull. What is it for?

I was carrying my 2018 Revolution 13 and heard something rolling around inside hull so I reached in and pulled out this bolt. Am 99.9 % sure it came from inside the Hobie instead of me somehow dropping something in the hatch by accident.

Allen head bolts like this are not used in the Revolution as far as I recall, so random drop in the assembly room.

Those bolts are used to hold the Vantage CT seat tracks on the sides of the cockpit. (for the front lift bar adjustments) Double check that you have yours fixed. I'm with Matt - likely just got dropped by mistake and lost during assembly, nothing to be concerned about.
