3M 5200!  I used it on home made D-rings (plastic D-rings held with webbing
stitched to Cordura squares) and it's still there several years later.
However, I glued it to the ABS bulkhead and not to the fiberglass hull.
I don't see why it would not work with commercial D-rings on a 
glass hull.  Don't get the rigid plastic plate; use the flexible Hypalon
or vinyl backing.

Scroll down and there's an illustration of these D-rings.  The
two in the upper left are narrow rectangular strips - these are 
rigid plastic.  The others are flexible.
