Im guessing that electrolysis has corroded the different materials ss v alum.
Maybe try using really big ally pop rivets
if you want to stick with ss screws, try darwin bolt supplies berrimah

Grabbed some ss bolts and nylocks to replace the screws, just needed to drill the holes in the plastic out a little. Cheers

Same problem with me over the years. Found no solution other than tighten them up after each outing.

i was thinking of a completely different problem you had. you obviously meant the seat pulling out of the frame.

Glad to hear im not the only one that has suffered this problem.
Nothing worse than when you go to sit down and end up on the deck in the back of the boat like a half folded pocket knife.
Bolts and nylocs fixed mine after about 18 months of persevering and tightening after each trip.
