Due to an accident,myAquamax inflatable took a hit on the side of the transom.The impact popped the transom piece that was glued onto the port side tube.This is a pvc type boat.What kind of glue do you use for such repairs?

Temperature and humidity are very important.

Acetone to clean off ALL old glue. You can use something like a scuffy pad to assist with cleaning. Do not remove any PVC material. A thorough wipe with MEK right before you apply the glue will help with adhesion.

What is the brand and model of boat, along with year?

I wouldn't use the acetone on PVC as you can destroy the UV inhibitor in the PVC.
