I'm building a jack plate and I have 3 pieces of 11" x 12" 3/4" plywood that I need to glue together. It will see water obviously. What type of adhesive or glue would work best in a situation like this?
 
I'm thinking Gorilla Glue would work, I believe it's waterproof when dry. I used to to glue the bread boards together for my transducer mounting plate.
 
Titebond III is waterproof or you can epoxy it which would be best but expensive.
 
Want to do it best? West System epoxy. Go with 105 hardener for reasonable work time and a good cure time. Once you laminate the pieces together, seal all the end grain with more epoxy or better, a skin of 6 oz cloth will seal all the ply to avoid checking later. Built several wood boats and modified 'glass boats. Just did the transom of our 14' Mirror craft this way.

PM me with questions if you want.
