Keep an eye on those bolts, over time the will work themselves loose again.

I typically retighten my bolts about 2 a season. With a new boat in its first season I will do it roughly every 4 weeks or when I have sailed alot. In the first season the slackening of the bolts goes really quickly and you have to keep an eye on them. In the next seasons when they have become dirty and stick more easily the slackening rate goes down considerably. But still it is worth keeping an eye on them.
