These would be cracks in the deck lip where the shroud goes through? Does your boat have the D-Shaped 4-bolt anchor plates that the shroud attaches to or just a slug under the lip?

It is an upsidedown L shaped bracket through the deck . I stuck my camera phone in the deck port and snapped a pic gonna try to post a pic. Has a threaded bolt going through bracket. -
