Loose flywheel magnets

[Keyboardman]

Hi Guys, I Found 4 out of 6 magnets loose on the flywheel of my Evinrude 200. Is there an aftermarket epoxy like JB weld that's suitable for the repair? What to do about the remaining two magnets that are still attached? I've tried tapping on them but they are still adhered well. I don't want to risk breaking them trying to get them loose but, what' to say the factory glue on them wont fail anytime soon? I understand there are some kind of retainers that can be retro fitted to hold them in place? Anyone have any experience using them? Thanks.

I see that Crowley has the epoxy for $10 a pack plus $5 shipping.

Looks like the E tec flywheel has about 18 little magnets around it where my older 1996 model has just 6 larger ones.
