otter lodge frame screws ??

Anyone have any issues with the little screws in the poles vibrating loose? would lock tight fix the problem? just worried they might rip my shell.

I do not have a lodge, but I have an issue with the lock nuts that hold my poles to my sled coming loose. must be an Otter thing. Loctite may help. What kind of screws are you talking about? Machine screws or sheet metal screws? It will work for a machine style screws but I don't know about a sheet metal screw, never tried. Good luck.

I have an otter lodge an dont know of any screws on it. there are nuts an bolts that hold the poles together on the mountingbracket. an the mounting bractket has nuts an bolts to attact to the sled. But mines ten years old so new might have screws i guesse

Just bought mine two seasons ago and it has screws that hold the poles together they are a self tapper type with a black hard plastic washer that hold the pole sections together and it has nuts and bolts that hold the poles to the sled.

A dab of 100% marine silicone on the washer, screw and screw hole will hold them in place.
