Seat screws working out.

[wing dam]

I have a 06 Parti Kraft. We trailer the boat everywhere and I have noticed that the screws in the seat hinges keep working out. I tighten them down and back they come out. Anyone have a idea to keep them in place?

I am sick of going to open a seat and have it fall off the hinges due to loose or missing screws.

Thanks

little thicker screw. or take a wooden match stick, stick it in the hole, and break it off, then reinsert screw.

Could also add a lock washer beneath the head of the screw. That way they won't vibrate themselves out

lock washer work best on bolts, not screws.

Had the same problem a little jb weld fixed the problem. mix up and place on threads try this before going to larger screws.

Fill the hole with silicone caulk and then tighten the screw. They won't vibrate out and you'll be able to remove them if you need to.
