Ballast Bag Port Glue - what will work
This is the culprit that made for an amazingly tall and short surf wave as my bilge filled with water.
The port was a partial pullout from battling a glued in factory fitting that didn't give up easily.
Repaired once with 3m 4200 and failed after a couple days.
Repaired again with rubber cement and although it looked better, failed almost immediately. The grimy looking stuff is the leftover cement and it just peels right off with little resistance.
Is there any glue out there that can hold the port into the bag again??
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Hey, why don't you call Fly high? Wakemakers has their number. I talked to the guy at Fly high and his customer service was AMAZING. Seriously, the guy there gave me his personal cell number and told me to call him on a saturday to troubleshoot a problem I was having with their check valves, so I could do it while on the boat.
I didn't have to do that, but he was amazing as far as his willingness to help. Why not talk to the manufacturer. I got the name and number of the guy to talk to at Fly High from Spencer at Wakemakers...

That works well but don't let a line get twisted or it will pull out. I have to put mine back with some 5200.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

I ordered one of those in a 90 degree since the port is in a tight spot but also with the quick disconnect end so I can still remove and get the bag out easily. Hoping that along with a good adhesive will do the trick. I read about using an abrasive wheel to rough up the bag surface and give the glue a better bite to bond.
Going to keep trying until something works!So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
