Cracked engine cowling - repairable?

The engine cowling on my Honda 75hp outboard 4 stroke (circa 2003) has 2 cracks in it. Both run fore/ aft on top of the enigne and are approx 5 inches long (if you trip the engine fully up it hits the seats).

Can this be repaired? Any idea cost/ how?

Many thanks...

second that, my Mrs recently encountered a wall outside our house, as we were paying rather than claiming the local Audi place repaired the plastic bumper instead of replacing it, looks new now.
