There is a product made by 3M for the marine industry called 5200
adhesive/.sealer. It is especially designed to bond boat decks to the hull.
It is impervious to nearly ALL chemicals (in fact you have to use a special
3M product to remove it).Check this link. You know I wouldn't be surprise if
could actually mold your own motor mounts with this stuff. I can tell you
that I've personall used it on 6 boats in the last 15 years and it TAKES
ALOT of: gumption, strength, determination, etc.,etc. You can order in
online from either West Marine or Boaters World if there's not a store near
you. Check out this link and also read the tecnical data link.
