How do I keep the screws from loosening up inside my boat? (Trim, floor ect.) Does any one else have the is problem?

Age old problem on boats. I just go around every so often w/my screw driver and tighten them up. If one falls to the floor, I put it back in. I haven't sunk yet.
try some silcone on the threads holds screw and can be easly removed
if you need to. Works on my crestliner and if any boats have a screw lose it's a crestliner

It is a ritual for me every spring before I ever get the boat wet is take some time and give her the once over and that includes a bunch of loose screws. They don't ever seem to back out too far but just enough to keep me wondering what if I didn't take the time. Keep it safe and look her over.

Blue locktight. I like the clear silicone idea too. Something I do each Spring. Less loose screws every year.
