I took out my binnacle to replace my tach, and I noticed that the black plastic portion of the binnacle is loose, portions arent attached. Is this just a reglue or is something more involved necessary to secure it?

Heat and age damage. Soften it back into shape with a heat gun and reglue.

Any specific glue that works well?

Don't use Gorilla Glue. It'll expand and foam out through the edges.

Simple Krazy Glue works fine.

3M trim adhesive

The only 3M adhesive I saw was in a spray can. That seems like it could get a little messy.....

The stuff in a giant toothpaste tube. It is really gooky and sticks to everything so don't be messy with it. Comes in clear and black.
