My first approach was the quicksteel version of JB weld which lasted to the first stoplight on the road when a driver flagged me down that my hatch flew open. I then tried the gorilla glue 2 part epoxy as the bottle said it had a bond strength of 3300 psi. I thought I was in business then. After letting it cure, I closed the hatch and jerked upwards on it a few times and the stud became detached again, separating from the rubber piece. I then went to the extreme and used the gorilla glue epoxy to attach the stud again to the rubber piece but then I used fiberglass matting and put a few layers around where the rubber meets the metal sort of cocooning the whole thing. I've been out twice so far since the fix and it hasn't separated. MrMoonPie referenced removing the rubber piece but on my boat the rubber piece served as a pivot as the stud doesn't line up directly with the hole on the latching mechanism. The rubber piece allowed the stud to move slightly to the left where it then went into the hole/latch. I did a ton of research trying to find a dedicated fix for this and there isn't a whole lot online. Interesting that there are several of these parts that seem to be braking at the same time. Let me know if you need pictures. Good luck. And if you need a quick temporary fix just to get out on the water, which is when mine first broke, just tie a rope or strap around the cleats on the sides and over the engine hatch.
