| Post subject: | Mirage Click and Go Hold Down screws |
Search is your friend….found the answers. Nothing to lose or drop when removing. Blue Loctite. Done. Mirage Oasis - Click and Go hold down/mounting screws on one assembly (there are 4 as this is tandem) loosen dramatically during use. These are Allen screws and I have tightened them several times. As I am new to this kayak and Mirage drives, etc. I am unsure as to how to lock these screws down. Is it possible/advisable to remove the screws, add a little locktite, then reinstall? Is the bracket or nuts that the screws tighten into captive in the hull? Please advise. Thanks. |

Yes, the inserts/nuts are captive in the hull. Make sure the cap screws and insert nuts are clean (no oil) by using spray brake cleaner or acetone. Use air pressure to clean out any foreign material out of the insert/nut center. Purchase a small, new dispenser of Blue Loctite and apply it to the cap screw threads, insert screw and tighten with a ball end allen wrench, let dry before use. |
