I recently picked up the Zodiac described & the transom is seperated from the pontoon on each side, does anyone know what type of adhesive I should use to stick it back together with that'll be a nice permanent bond, as usual all advice & responces appreciated.

Here is a link to a thread that discusses transom repair, gluing pvc and types of glues. In the thread there is a link to instructions on how to properly use two part PVC glues. The right prep, the right solvent (MEK) and the correct environment are essential to strong bonds. There are some off topic posts, but scrolling down and reading the applicable posts will give you a good basis for your repair and any further specific questions you might have.

Be sure to post some pictures! Regluing my transom and doing all of the other repairs seemed like a pain, but the last few years have been well worth the effort. So far so good. Have fun?
