I would look into the reason you have too keep "snugging them", and
there's reason to look at the burried nuts. Sounds like a plywood core
that's rotten.


Or maybe a bad design that has a foam core with not even "pads"
between the glass where there are pressure plates.


Backing plates won't help if the center is soft.


Which can apply with foam. Same problem occurs. It's best to have
solid "pads" at pressure points, even with backing plates on top.

Only worry about the things you can control.

Then you have stuff all to worry about!

There, see? You has to scroll down to read what you could have read
without moving your cursor and scrolling.

I don't know why you said "vaguely
proposed a theory . . ."

Saying to check the reason for the loose bolts isn't exactly vague. I
know about how today's powerboats are made, and I'll bet he's got some
rot in a piece of structural plywood.

If that's the case, backing plates will not fix it.
