Follow up comment. I worked around the floor board and it appears this has been here since build. It goes under the floor board and frame at a place that is winterized and it is partially encased in the foam used to seal that area.
Could it be something used to put equipment in place? If it is supposed to be holding something in place I just cannot find the male end of another or the same strap.
Thank you anyone who has an idea. I am leaving the cowling off while preparing for a trip so hopefully someone has an idea of what it is there for.
