    I have an update. After some research the liner is not vinyl. It is pvc coated polyester canvas that is nylon reinforced. How about the silicone now? Options?

    I had a (white water) raft made out of same material. You can get a repair kit from Sports Store for raft repair - or search on the internet.
    Good Luck

    Silicone seal can be a good temporary seal even underwater if you squish enough of the stuff into the leaking area. Did a temporary patch a few years ago when I punched a hole in my skimmer housing....stupid bubu. In an application like yours I wouldn't rely on silicone seal.

    Again thank you for the replies. Looking into this material I think I may have found a sealer. 3M makes a marine adhesive sealant 4200/5200 fast cure that seems to be right up my alley. I will be visting a marine store this weekend and will let you guys know how I made out. Again thank you for the replies and any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Well, just an update the 3M Marine sealant 5200 did the trick.
