Any concern with the threads loosening up or stretching over time since the bracket is aluminum?

This is an awesome idea. I can't wait to do this to my platform this year. I am so sick of hearing the platform bounce up and down with the waves. Solid idea Ian!!

This thread had me thinking about mine. Had to trailer 4 hrs down and 4 back from Clermont over the weekend. I haven't done the set screw yet so I put an extra tie down strap through the opening in the bracket and winched it down tight so it couldn't bounce around.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

You could always use large stainless set screws for this as well I would think.

The boat is out of the water and in my driveway, but its also monsoon raining outside, so I'm not much up for going and pulling the bolt to take pics, lol. I'll get some up shortly!

anyone know how to access the lower bolt in the swim platform bracket that is mounted to the boat? It looks like it goes in below the floor in the rear hatch.

My "fix" only lasted a couple of hours. The aluminum on the swim platform side of the bracket quickly deformed and started slopping around again. I tightened the bolts up again but it just deformed the bracket even more. Guess it's back to the composite shims...
