My bimini wing nut loosens every 5 minutes while driving the boat. I have to hand tighten or they will actually fall out over time.

Anyone else have the same issue?

I bought some lock tight to fix the issue, hopefully it doesn't make the nut too hard to move after adding lock tight
 
Don't use the red locktite . Use the blue.
Mine have loosened as well.
 
Everytime this thread comes up in my alerts I swear I think it says Loose Bikini.....
 
mine do too, already lost 1, I carry 2 spare ones now
 
Do you know the Yamaha part number for the spare? Thanks
 
just went to west marine and picked up the ones the had on the shelf
