Chrome cup holder rings keep coming off

[GoVols01]

The decorative chrome pieces that sit on top of each cup holder in the boat keep coming off. I think it's a combination of my kids playing with them as well as vibrations & wind. Does anyone else have this issue? How can I remedy this - super glue?

Make sure they are twist locked into place. When I bought my boat new a lot of the rings were not locked in. Since twisting them I haven't had an issue. You could always add some silicone adhesive if you want them to be more secure.

I lost one last weekend....

I had one come off and twist locked it back on....no issues since. Perhaps there is a way to bend the lock part so it holds more snugly?

 

[GoVols01]

The chrome piece is plastic, so there's no bending there. I've twisted mine back on, but it seems they keep vibrating back loose. Mix in highway winds and it's only a matter of time before I'm missing a couple altogether. I'm thinking of putting a dot or 2 of super glue on it. I can't imagine why I'd need to remove those again; can you?

same here, they come loose on there own, if someone uses a glue of some sort and it works I'll do the same. Even if you did need them off, you could power them off....

I dub a large bead of clear silicone and twist/lock them back on. Zero issues getting them back off.

Pulling these holders out is very useful in some projects - provides easy access to some of the hull/cap/stern spaces that are otherwise impossible to reach.
I would not use superglue.

I use silicone to seal my down. Now it never comes out.

For my 2016 242LS...PN F2J-U5633-00 (chrome ring)

I replaced 2 so far...I put a dab of sealant on the last one, just enough to hold it but I can still remove it with ease if needed.

Nice, Thanks Swatski, 10% off and it worked Although the fact that I had to pay 9$ to ship a 3 dollar part seems asinine to me. lol. (I ended up buying 6 just to make myself feel better) lol.
