Subject: Loose & Stripped Screws in boat

It seems like every time I trailer my boat anywhere I have screw heads popping up on the deck & some of the panels of my Crestliner. I keep a screwdriver handy to torque tham back down but noticed that there are a few that are stripped out completly. I was thinking about going up a size to replace the stripped ones & adding locktite to all the rest.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Thanks as always
Mike

Definately the Lok Tite, I have used it with great success in my Tuffy. My seat screws kept popping out.

Locktite will work. I use RTV with good success, too.
