2018 Z18 with threaded pedestals.
My boat came with the threaded pedestals. These work great in minimizing wobble as long as they stay tight. Here is the problem. After an hour or so they eventually begin to loosen and will become completely backed-out. So far I've tried:
Just recently applied red Loctite to the threads. Haven't been out yet to see how this will work.
Any ideas?

- Adding thrust roller bearings between shaft and seat.
- Using a strap wrench to tighten the shaft
- Applied blue Loctite to the threads
