Thx everyone for chiming in! My apologies I had thought I added my boat model in my signature, mine is a 1974 C&C 35 Mk2.
I would agree with you, it would be extremely unlikely that there was no wood screw used; besides, who would put through holes on the cabin if they did not intend to use screws to fasten the handrail from inside? I used flashlight, and I also used screw driver to poke inside the holes, I couldn't find anything. I will try again today. But if anyone had worked on the same model of boat, I'd appreciate some kind of confirmation.
