Hi Everyone, 

We sure had a lot of very loose screws in the hull-deck joint on our boat.  Tightening them stopped a bunch of leaks.  A couple of years after I'd tightened them, I went back through to check them again and found a number of them loose.  I don't know if the joint compresses over time or if they work their way loose.  

By the way, there seems to be some kind of magical relationship between the difficulty in reaching the nuts and the likelihood of them being loose.  Go figure!
