Does anyon know a good way of repairing vinyl seats? They are for the cockpit, and are foam-filled so making them waterprrof would be good. Photo of typical rip (there are a few) below:

You need a vinyl or PVC adhesive that is based on Tetra-hydro-furan (THF). That is a solvent for PVC.
Used to be able to get tubes of "vinyl weld" but have not seen it for ages.
The glue for repairing PVC dinghies should do the trick. The single part one from Polymarine or your chandler should be good enough http://www.polymarine.com/products/parts...tube-[1610].cfm
PVC ground sheet repair adhesive from a camping shop.
I have some (a 250ml tin) that I bought from Hawke House when relining the boat for sticking vinyl to vinyl.
Go with the 70ml tube of Polymarine stuff. A decent chandler, esp one that does inflatable boats, should have it.
