Help me ID those broken plastic parts

I was hoping that someone figured out what those parts are by now. Looks like this string is about to start it’s second page. I would just keep those parts onboard with some crazy glue in case the river or lake gods made me find out what they are someday.
 
@Ronnie to be honest I am not sure if I am depressed that nobody knows or if I am relieved. Since August that I have felt like an idiot for not know where those parts belong. But now it is seems that it is not obvious, so I kind feel better for my lack on knowledge :)
 
Spoken like a true friend, LMAO
 
@Betik I know, different boat/yr. but i thought I would go uncover the boat, take my boots off, 2 deg. F this morning and take a look for anything similar. The only thing that was even close was the 3 prong bracket that holds the depth gauge in the dash. But upon looking back at yours, its not the same.Screenshot_20180125-110711.png
 
Wait a minute, let me digest these facts,
1. You had to uncover the boat
2. It was only 2 degrees outside
3. You did this while it was "morning"

I really think you were just trolling @Betik for an order of fresh Baklava to be fedex'd to your house (be careful, is it really just a dish of deliciously fresh baklava or is Trojan horse trap waiting to be sprung?

To answer your questions: #1-yes, #2-yes, it was but has warmed up considerably since Screenshot_20180125-131449.png #3-yes, but it was in our unheated arena.20171021_134132.jpg Hardest part was taking boots off and putting stocking feet on cold boat. Had to reach into helm locker, was not going to take off coat. The Baklava sounds great, but I don't know if I was helpful to @Betik . As far as the trojan horse part, I dont know him well enough to play tricks yet.

Edit: oh, I get it now. Its his baklava being a trojan horse. Gotta remember to slow down and read more carefully.;)

quick update..... thank you for yall effort to help me out ( especially @zipper ).
I did go to my local dealer and among 4 mechanics and 2 senior parts folks, nobody knows what those parts are. They told me that as long as the boats works fine then to not worry about it. .... so I am going to ride the boat and keep my fingers crossed.
 
@Betik That is too funny...yesterday, as I was measuring battery cable lengths on the boat for the add a battery/charger mod., I thought/wondered about this thread and the final outcome. Coincidence I guess.

my dealer kept one the 2 plastics and they said that will research it. I am sure they will just throw it away.....
