Hi!

I work at a summer camp sailing facility and we just got two Getwaways for the season. They've been great, but we are having some recurring problems. The bolt that holds the bowspreader to the hulls keeps working itself lose. Second issue; the pin that holds the tiller crossbar into the rudder arm always comes unscrewed. Is this something we just need to check more often? Can we epoxy them in place (The tiller arm pins, not the bow spreader bolts)? The bow spreader bolt is a little worrisome as it is becoming increasingly difficult to get back in.

Thanks for any help

Both can use blue loc tite on the threads to hold them in.
