My trusty zodiac RIB has come apart around the transom about a year ago . Has anyone tried polyurethane sealent to stick rubber duckies?

there are two main types of material used, and the right adhesive will depend on which one:

Hey Matt, when we were in Plincoln in Jan, we fixed the tender on Yvonne using a combination of sikaflex and stainless screws along the transom (timber) to PVC seals - about 4each side & have had no problems since.

If you want to do the repair properly the only glue to use is AZBONDR. This glue is for Hyperlon/Rubber.
if you dingy is pvc you will need AZBONDC.
