One of the tubes is coming away from the transom.
Needs to be glued back again, the residue from the old glue looks like old evostick or similar type glue.

The tender is an old Plastimo so PVC not hypolon.

Any recommendations of what to use.
Thanks in advance.

I would think the correct adhesive for PVC, but clean off all the old adhesive.

See the Polymarine website for adhesive although it is probably available from your chandler. For advice see the "Advice / tech sheets" tab
 
The 2 part polymarine is the best opption for this. I had a lot of trouble with one dinghy way past its sell by date, and as a final measure used the 2 pack reinforced with some bronze nails through the rubber and into the marine ply of the transom. allowed the dinghy to last another 2 years.
