I Had the rods in holders leashed down with no play . I lost control of kayak when trying to launch and the kayak rolled in surf and tore two holders out . One was pulled out at screws , the other pealed back the tank . I held the broken piece in place temporarily with heavy duty tape . Mixed up my favorite concoction . J b weld . And bonded it back together . After drying it can be sanded and painted as desired . I did buy a new tank , but since I have multiple kayaks I keep it as a spare . It only has two holders , but it is definitely water tight and sea worthy . If you are really going to do this product either use that cut out piece or just use some duct tape , but I would recommend j b weld over using dome goop that could break down over time . Initially it will look ugly , but if sometime is put in sanding you could make the repair seamless. Hope this gives you some ideas .
