That 5200 will hold better than the little clip would, and it seals with the orings on the tube. Once its dry, you can hook up the quick connect on the resevoir hose |  Problem is that I cannot even get my hands on the fitting from the inside of the boat but I did get it fixed. I had the idea of finding a peice of tubing (I found a rivet that fit and pulled out the nail look thing and filed off the lip) that would fit inside the nipple and I hade something that fit real snug. The nipple broke in half so I had room on both peices to get the tube into the nipple enough to give it the proper strength. I just used a good epoxy and it probably is stronger now then it was before it broke.
