It would help if you told us what model of C&C you have, Bo. Different models have different means of attaching the handrails.
On my 25 there is a long, probably 1/8th or 3/16ths wood screw from the inside of the cabin and into the “legs” of the hand rails. The screw heads are covered by plastic caps (were originally chrome plated metal) that fill the holes in the headliner and cover the scre heads. On my 38, each leg of the handrail has a fastener about 2” long that is a wood screw on one end and a machine screw on the other. Can’t recall the name of the fastener. The wood screw is driven into the “leg” of the handrail, and a washer and nut are on the machine screw end inside the cabin top. The fasteners and a lot of other stuff like backing plates for winches is hidden by removable headliner panels. I’ve also been aboard a C&C that had “bungs” in the inside overhead handrails that were screwed through the cabin top and into the legs of the outside hand rails. Obviously YMMV.

If so remove them and see if screwed from top. If no bungs on top of handrail they must be screwed from below. Get a bright light in one Hole and see if you can see screw head. I would be shocked if someone epoxied to deck. Would be very weak connection as grain of wood would be weak point.

I just didn't want to break anything. Are they built with dowel pins? are those two outer holes for the dowel pins?

In the picture in this link, the hole in the middle is where in the cabin handrail screw goes in; the two on the outside were hidden under the cabin handrail, exposed after I took the it off. I tried to see and feel, there was no metal inside. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bS3eUTqnZ3ZGLnMtNmKw2Q4gB7Emy8UN/view?usp=sharing Am I missing something? Advice would be appreciated. Thx.

Thus a bolt/screw on the inside screws into these nuts--more or less! I say this because depending on how well the cabin-top holes match the external hand rail standoffs, it may not be possible to get a bolt/screw into each standoff. If this is the case, some of the standoffs may not have bolts/screws in them. In my case, with SS steel external rails and standoffs, there is no way to get a misaligned screw hole to accept a nut or screw, without re drilling a new hole or enlarging the original one.

There seems to be no screws in those holes. Is the outside handrail attached to the cabin with screws or something? Mine isn’t coming off yet.

I'd always been told it's better to set bungs (the plugs) by dipping them in varnish before tapping them into place. That way, the varnish will act as a waterproofer and semi-adhesive, but then they can be removed easily next time. With glue they would need to be drilled out.
