[Rhodes22-list] Unsure of plastic part above cabin

[Peter Nyberg]

Yes.  General Boats would have used screws.  It seems likely the screws failed at some point for some reason and a previous owner decided to use bolts instead.  One possible reason for the failure is that a mast crutch wasn’t being used, and someone was attempting to lower the mast to horizontal.
