a boat partz store might be a better source, I'd look for a slow epoxy rather than 5 minute, clean off old glue, rough up with a dremel disc , wipe down with a bit of acetone, apply glue and clamp for 24 hrs.

You should be able to use a binary epoxy bought from an auto parts store. Clean the area, mix the epoxy with the hardener, apply and clamp for 24 hrs.
