Last weekend after cruising to the bay, when washing the boat I noticed the front 2 inches or so of the metal trim shown in the photo had delaminated from the hull. Maybe I hit a wake too hard. What do you recommend to reattach it to the hull? Any special techniques?

Engine cowl trim. Glued. No screws. Any suggestion for what type of glue or epoxy?

While I don't have a solution for you, that same trim on my 2017 350CBR was responsible for at least 3 bloody (actual, not the expression) cuts on my fingers, and it always would nab a few bristles from my soft cleaning brush.

If you don't get a good answer here, I'd imagine TAG would have a recommendation for you.
 
I sent a note to Nick Braun at Formula on this topic. I will see if he responds. If you have the phone number to the TAG group, that would be helpful.
 
Okay, I talked to Nick Braun at Formula TAG and he was kind enough to walk out in the factory to find out what adhesive they use. He sent a photo of the epoxy they use.
In case you'd like to know, they use Plexus MA830 to attach the metal trim to the engine air cowl. I went on line and ordered some and will tackle this next week. Here are 2 pictures of what the problem looks like right now.

Sorry---I had to drive a car from San Diego to Chicago this past Saturday. Got to Chicago on Monday night. Flew back today. The Plexus MA830 which I ordered on line arrived. Going to the boat this week and will update after I undertake this.
