Springfield screw-in seat pedatals

[Strokerace]

 ....Seat pedastals on my new Tracker must be
tightened every 20 minutes or so while fishing
to prevent  loud "scrunch, scrunch" noises.
I haved tightened them with vice grips, used
Loctight etc. but they still loosen and cause
the noise! Has anyone else had this problem
and found a remedy?

Try several wraps of teflon tape to tighten it up, it can be found in the plumbing department of HD or Lowes.

Is there enough screw length to add a locking nut?
