So my rudder cable felt a little loose on the Slayer.... pulled the handle to tension the back pulley to the handle (sandwiches on a cup) ....already snug!?!? Well the hard plastic “cup” that holds the handle to the boat (screws on the gunwale) has a crack about halfway around the cup! >:(
  Anyone upgrade to a burley pro that has there stock cup I could buy? Anyone have a suggestion for repair, I’m thinking plain epoxy won’t hold but wonder if fiberglassing it might get me by. Hitting the ocean Saturday so have to fix or repair today or tomorrow.
 There’s a shop in NJ that has 4 in stock but is moving and hasn’t returned my call or email the local shop don’t stock it.

Hey Mojo - I don't know if you do FarceBook or not, but they have a group https://www.facebook.com/groups/slayerpropel/, there are some Oregonians and shops on there so maybe an option.  You can't have mine, I'm still using it  ;)

Is it in the HDPE hull plastic.  If so, just "plastic weld" it with heat.  It is easy to do.  If it is nylon or another type of plastic, you may have to try something else.  If it is ABS, you can chemically weld it with acetone.

There’s a shop in NJ that has 4 in stock but is moving and hasn’t returned my call or email the local shop don’t stock it.

According to his bookface page they're still a week or two away from reopening.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I got an email reply from Chris Parson of https://thekayakfishingstore.com he has 4 in stock... well 3 now as mine is on the way express delivery. With a few other items I wanted to have. Great customer service to the point where he said there online store over charged me $11.00 shipping and he was refunding it to my card. Once he seen my email he rounded up everything I had in my cart (photo) before replying and had it at the post office 20 minuets after I hit the purchase button. I found my new favorite online store when local isn’t an option.
