Here's a flexible epoxy that claims to stick to polyethylene, as well as
darned near anything. No personal experience though.

One thing you can do to help adhesion... Take a propane torch and pass it
LIGHTLY over the area you're going to glue together. If you oxidize the
surface, you will highly promote adhesion.

Richard asked  "This boat is polyethylene. Is 3M 5200 (which is
polyethylene) recommended as an
adhesive for mounting up the backing pads for  the davits?"

I had a Water Tender 9.4 which may be a variation of the same boat? In any
case 5200 would not stick to the Water Tender hull.
