I took the top off to do some work and when I put it back on and reconnected the steering linkage, I noticed the bolt connecting the linkage seems to keep loosening itself. Located under the left side knee panel. Is it supposed to be completely tight or looser to allow for movement. I keep tightening it down but am afraid it's going to work itself out while out on the water and I'll have no steering. If it is supposed to stay tightened down, loc tite????

I did not use Loctite-Just Nice a firm Tightening!

Gave it one of those today. Still loosened itself. Had to check it every 15 min or so

When you re-installed it, did you place it inbetween the plastic piece or place it on top? If you look at it, The piece it goes into is shapped like a rectangle with one side cut out. The metal arm goes inbetween this and the bolt runs from the top thru the arm and secures from the bottom.

loctite might be worth adding for even more of a hold, the blue one. plus it's cheap

Yup...sure enough I put it on top. Put it the right spot and tightened it down. Worked it back and forth for about 5 min. Seems to be holding. Thanks.
