Need suggestions???
Recently I have noticed that my tower speakers are coming loose while the boat is being towed. It has gotten so bad recently that within 10miles they look as if they are going to fall off. I have tried to tighten the screws, but no luck.
I'm sure there is a simple solution on how to fix this, but I need some ideas from all you smart Mastercraft owners. |

Take the screws out one by one and apply Loctite to the threads and tighten back.
Available most anywhere, including all your local auto parts stores, http://www.henkelna.com/cps/rde/xchg...and=0000000389

yes thread locker by any company should work fine. Be aware that there are different strengths of this stuff and the strongest types make it very hard to remove the bolts/screws you use it on.

That has been my fear with using Loctite - That I might not be able to remove the bolts. I guess it's a chance I’m going to have to take. I love this site!

If you ever have trouble taking out bolts that are Lock-tited, you just need to use heat. Better that than having to tighten them up every trip.

Blue locktite, it will keep them in, but you'll be able to get them off if you need to.
